What you will need

• A MediaMatrix NION with CobraNet interface.
• The latest NWare software. (Updates can be downloaded from the MediaMatrix website.)
• A computer running Microsoft Windows, with monitor, mouse and keyboard.
• An assortment of CAT 5e or CAT 6 cables.
• At least one NIO series analog audio input card.
• At least one NIO series analog audio output card.

  Tip: The NIO-4x4 card supports both analog audio inputs and outputs on the same card. This card can be used in place of an input card and an output card.

• An audio source, cables, power amplifier and loudspeaker.
• A small Phillips screwdriver.
• A small flat-blade screwdriver.
• A network switch connected to the CobraNet network.

  Note: The selection of a proper network switch is critical for a successful implementation. Although CobraNet is an Ethernet protocol, there are performance issues that must be considered when selecting this switch for use in CobraNet audio systems.
