Marquee Audio

A new card from Auvitran designed to plug directly into the back of Yamaha digital consoles, giving full access to the Digigram-developed EtherSound network, was on display at the Marquee Audio stand. 16 channels per card (the network will support up to 64 channels bi-directionally) can be assigned within the software. Extremely fast - Marquee say under a millisecond - this makes feeding to/from multiple sources and destinations feasible in live applications. To demonstrate this low latency and high quality audio performance, Marquee provided multi-channel audio to five other stands around EC1 - Yamaha and InnovaSon on the Top Deck and Fuzion, Sennheiser and Stardraw downstairs - via Cat 5 cable. Marquee also had a prototype product from Garwood that finally solves the after-dinner speaker problem - a radio networked self-powered (rechargeable battery) speaker with a 360° throw. The size of a storm lantern, this device can be placed at the centre of every table, and is just big enough not to be pocketed by the idiot in your group!
