NetMax Digital Matrix System

NetMax & IRIS-Net... Digital Audio Redefined

Since the introduction of the first IRIS (Intelligent Remote Integrated Supervision) software platform for amplifiers in 2002, EV has been developing robust audio control protocol and new innovative audio hardware. The RL line was the first of remote controlled amplifier products. These amplifiers offered an amazing level of user control and monitoring, which brought reliability and ease of use to a wide range of users. Now EV is introducing the NetMax™ N8000, a comprehensive digital audio system controller — the next link in the IRIS-Net audio processing chain. IRIS-Net is EV’s answer to the ever-increasing complexity of audio system designs. It is a comprehensive software platform that encompasses a wide array of control options. IRIS-Net provides supervision and control over all aspects of the audio chain, and the key areas of signal processing, supervision, and signal routing can all be manipulated beneath the IRIS-Net umbrella .

The new NetMax N8000 is the centerpiece of the IRIS-Net solution. It offers an extremely flexible hardware platform that allows for field-level customization of the unit to nearly any application. The N8000's ability to customize far surpasses the ability of other available platforms. Everything, from matrix size and configuration to processing power, can be determined in the field, making it easy to design the best solution value for the customer.

Distributed vs. Central processing – The N8000 and IRIS-Net give you both!

Now you don’t have to make the choice between distributed or central power processing. IRIS-Net gives you BOTH! IRIS-Net allows you to process all or part of the audio signal in a central component like the NetMax N8000, or to conduct the processing and supervision remotely at the amplifier. This gives the system designer incredible flexibility in designing the system. You can now design the system for the ultimate in reliability, or for efficiency and value. The IRIS-Net solution gives you all the hardware and software pieces to accomplish both.

Open Architecture – Extensively Tested

The IRIS-Net software platform has been extensively tested in a variety of venues. Prior to its introduction the system hardware and software underwent extensive testing. The software interface and hardware component design were made with the user and designer in mind. The open architecture of the hardware and IRIS-Net user protocol allow for the seamless function of external devices within IRIS-Net and its hardware components.
