Immersive Audio Made Simple

RAVENNA/ AES67

World-Class RAVENNA Interface

Create a Pyramix Ecosystem with IP Audio

Immersive sound, 3D sound, Atmos and Auro to name but a few of the names for it, theaddition of height speakers to surround sound mixes in both music and audio for picture
production has completely taken hold in the industry. Pyramix offers a 100% integrated
X/Y/Z Panner which offers the ability to move mono or multichannel sources into speakerarrays of any size and in any standard or manually designed configuration. MassCore or
Native Pyramix systems, Horus is the ultimate audio interface for any production scenario.

Imagine a world where every single input and output connection in your whole
facility, from DAW to audio interface, pre-amp to speaker, room to room, wasable to connect together without a need for a single patch bay. It is the RAVENNA
world where, just as we are used to in our ‘connected’ lives, we can live in a studioenvironment having everything connected to everything else. In a RAVENNA
network, Pyramix and Horus become nodes allowing routing from any input into
the network to any number of outputs the user desires. If you can dream up theconnection, Pyramix and Horus using RAVENNA can make it happen.
