Networked Audio: N3 - AVB/TSN Implementation for Live Sound & House of Worship

Presenter:
Tom Knesel, Pivitec - Emmaus, PA, USA

Abstract:
Ethernet AVB/TSN (Time Sensitive Networking) enables precise timing and synchronization and bandwidth reservation, making it an ideal solution for several of the consistency and convenience issues musicians’ face on the road and during live performances. International rock band, ACCEPT, has been touring the globe for over three decades, and for most of that time, they had to lug heavy performance equipment onto planes, trains and taxis or take the risk of using unfamiliar local equipment at each venue. They needed a solution that eliminated some gear and ensured a consistent sound and performance at each venue. That’s where a compact touring system, powered by Audio Video Bridging (AVB) stepped in.

For Houses of Worship, similar solutions can be implemented. NOW Church in Ocala, FL, has always incorporated cutting-edge technology into their facility, but they were looking for a system that would take them into the future. After hearing about the benefits of AVB they made the move to an AVID VENUE system for their Front of House, as well as the Pivitec personal monitoring system that they have described as a “game-changer.”

Tom Knesel, Co-Founder and President of Pivitec, will walk through the specifics of the AVB enabled systems for each install including lessons learned and how AVB was monumental in providing a powerful experience during ACCEPT’s and NOW Church’s performances. Knesel will present how AVB allowed these two installations to combat common sound issues on stage, create pre-sets, simplify travel, and most importantly, give them a future-proof way to take advantage of next-gen compatibility with hardware and software from other manufacturers.
