Abstract
In embodiments of the present invention improved capabilities are described for digitally transmitting audio that is converted from analog audio received from analog media pickup devices in a live performance venue by a stage box to a base unit over off-the-shelf twisted pair cable while sending pre-amplification control signals and power over the cable to the stage box. Audio for the performance venue is remotely managed from a virtual audio engineering mixing board that wirelessly communicates audio control commands to the stage box from a handheld computing device.

(canceled)
A stage box configured to improve audio signal quality comprising a circuit receiving a multiplexed digital media signal that comprises a first media signal multiplexed with a second media signal, the circuit further processing the multiplexed digital media signal, the processing causing the circuit to improve audio quality for at least one of the first media signal and the second media signal.
A method comprising:
- generating a first digital representation of a first media signal;
- multiplexing the first digital representation with a second digital representation of a second media signal thereby producing a multiplexed digital signal comprising a plurality of digital representations;
- and
- processing a portion of the multiplexed digital signal to improve quality of at least one of the first media signal and the second media signal.
