Matt Manix chooses DirectOut Prodigy series for live and broadcast performances

DirectOut’s modular audio converter Prodigy.MC is the device of choice for Matt Manix, owner of Method Audio, a Tennessee-based audio company specializing in recording and producing live music for broadcast.

Manix began his career with live bands, touring the world and noticed the Prodigy series products when interfacing with outside broadcast (OB) trucks. When he made the jump to broadcast sound, he started with the Exbox.MD for MADI to Dante conversions and quickly purchased his own when the .MC was released.

“We were early to adopt the Prodigy.MC”, Manix recalls. “To begin with we used it as a stage box really. Our .MC is loaded up with analog and we make use of the modules; we’ve got MADI, Dante and SoundGrid, everything you need to get things going. We also utilize the Prodigy.MP, mostly in location recording situations or broadcast where we’re interfacing with other audio teams.”

Manix is used to high-profile televised performances, producing the Copa America half-time show with a performance from Shakira in Miami, The People’s Choice Country Music Awards, and working on the March Madness Music Festival. The bulk of the performances Manix produces are for broadcast in some form, either traditional broadcast media, web-streaming, promotion or a pre-record for use in a TV show.

“We really put the .MX through its paces during March Madness, that show is a big one”, he states. “The Prodigy is always the backbone of a design for a largescale project, allowing us to interface with lots of different audio or video crews, I always have it on a show.”
