Description

The MediaMatrix¨MM-760nt

Mainframe is the workhorse of PeaveyÕs digital signal processing product line. It is a software-based, integrated sound system design, control, and hardware platform that requires only microphones and their preamps, power amplifiers, and speakers to provide a complete and working system. The MM-760nt Mainframe is based on an open architecture that utilizes a modular computer mainframe including a power supply, a floppy-disk drive, a CD ROM drive, a system controller board, and up to four digital signal processing boards. Fully loaded, the system can provide all needed line-level signal processing for 128 audio input lines and 128 audio output lines.

The MM-760nt CPU is Intel Pentium

-equivalent based or better, and the userÕs control and design interface GUI is PeaveyÕs MWare

3.0 running under Microsoft¨Windows NT 4.0¨. The MediaMatrix MWareª3.0 software provides the user/designer the ability to design, wire, operate, control, and troubleshoot a complete digital audio system in the software domain. The user/designer can create control panels

and devices to provide solutions not possible on other DSP audio platforms.

The MM-760nt Mainframe accommodates three types of DPU boards. Each of these DPU board types employs four Motorola

56002 DSP chips and provides signal processing for up to 32 digital audio inputs and up to 32 digital audio outputs. Due to extremely efficient code, an exceptional amount of processing can be accomplished while maintaining double-precision DSP filtering on each DPU board. The MM-DSP is the standard DPU board that interfaces to the Peavey MM-8800ªSeries Break-outBoxes (BoBÕs). The MM-DSP-AES is the DPU board that interfaces to AES/EBU standard digital signal I/Os. The MM-DSPCN interfaces to the Peavey CABªSeries CobraNetªbridges, which transport audio and control via an Ethernet network.
