Architectural Acoustics Digitool

Jan. 19, 2011 — Architectural Acoustics by Peavey® proudly debuts three new models of the venerable Peavey Architectural Acoustics Digitool™ multiprocessor series.

The Digitool is now available in the following models: the MX16, featuring eight inputs and eight outputs; the MX32, featuring 16 inputs and 16 outputs; and the LIVE, featuring eight balanced XLR inputs and outputs for live-sound FOH applications.

These all-new Digitool processors feature an updated, more powerful DSP engine, full-color LCD screen, enhanced front-panel navigation, individual input and output mutes, and five-segment LED arrays for input and output signal monitoring. In addition, there is a USB port on the front for programming and an Ethernet port on the back for either programming or connecting to a network. On the back panel, there are eight control voltage ports and two RS-485 ports, allowing for much more external control than the original Digitool MX. All three models include a global, 100-240V power supply.

“We are very excited to debut these three new models of our Digitool Series audio processing and control systems,� said Hartley Peavey, founder and CEO of Peavey Electronics. “With enhancements in power, performance and ease of use, as well as easy integration into MediaMatrix® projects, the new Digitools will continue to be the go-to multiprocessor solution for live sound and contractor applications.�
