Riedel Expands Performer Digital Partyline Intercom at InfoComm 2008

Several New Installations at NHL & NFL Arenas

Riedel Communications, pioneer of advanced intercom and radio technology, has added new products to its Performer digital partyline intercom series. The world’s first digital partyline intercom features high-quality digital audio and provides 2 and 4-channel master stations, rack-mount, wall-mount and desktop speaker stations as well as 2-channel beltpack headset stations. Recently several NHL and NFL arenas including Madison Square Garden in New York City, Jobing.com Arena in Phoenix, Bank of America Stadium in Carolina and HP Pavilion in San Jose installed Riedel’s digital intercom systems to fulfill their communication needs and to route audio through their facilities.

In addition to pure partyline applications the new Performer C44plus system interface makes the Performer series the first fully integrated ‘digital’ solution for combined digital matrix and partyline intercom. The updated version now incorporates a USB-port on the front to connect a PC to configure the internal 24x24 matrix via the new Performer Audio Assignment Software. This expansion will enable the C44plus to serve as the heart of a small stand-alone intercom solution. It offers a 24x24 matrix with 4 x 2-channel powered digital partyline outputs, 8 x AES digital I/Os and 8 x analog 4-wire I/Os. In addition, GPIs enable the C44plus to be combined with a RiFace radio interface to integrate wired and wireless communications.

Riedel’s Performer product line is completed by the Performer 32 digital intercom matrix/stage management system, which is aligned for the requirements of stadiums, houses of worship, opera houses and theaters as well as sports and cultural events.
