Glyph Unveils Dadio Monitor System at Winter NAMM
January 26, 2005

Glyph Technologies announced the first of a new family of digital audio delivery products – the Dadio Monitor. Used in a live sound or studio environment, Dadio Monitor is a peer-to-peer, collaborative audio system that lets musicians create their own individual monitor mix exactly the way they want it. The Dadio Monitor lets musicians connect to a self-contained monitoring network for improved control of how they hear themselves and other musicians. They plug their instruments and microphones into their Dadio's audio inputs, where the signals are digitized and distributed as audio streams to other Dadios, over a network using standard Ethernet cable. The single rack space unit has an easy to use interface to control the mix of local and networked audio sources using front-panel controls and an LCD screen. The unit has front-panel connectors for headphones or earbuds, and line outs on the back for powered wedges or other audio gear. Send/Return loops allow musicians to patch in external effects or EQ for their overall mix, or apply them to their own input channels. Using the Dadio system on stage is drastically different than using a traditional monitoring setup because it does not require a dedicated monitor mixing board or engineer. Its design implements a peer-to-peer architecture, where all of the units connect to one another, instead of connecting to a central mixer. Signals from performers are split at the Dadio, sending to both the monitoring network and the front of house (FOH) mixing board. Each performer's Dadio unit contains the basic functions of a mixing board (mic pre, gain, volume, pan, mute, phase reverse). Therefore there is no need for a monitor mixing board. Behind Dadio's faceplate is a Linux-based computer that can be connected to other computers via standard networking. It's upgradeable with new interfaces and downloadable software, as they become available. Enhancements include operation from an external controller, and support for remote configuration using a browser to check diagnostics and manage saved data. The Dadio is expected to ship Spring, 2004 and will be available through authorized Glyph Dealers. The Dadio Monitor will come standard with a three year warranty and Glyph's service and technical support, at no additional charge. Additionally, it will be covered by an overnight advance replacement policy in the first year. For more information, visit their web site at http://www.glyphtech.com/.
