Riedel Acquires Media Numerics

Riedel Communications, German manufacturer and supplier of communication systems for the broadcast, theatre and event industries, acquired digital audio specialist Media Numerics.
Media Numerics has developed the real time audio network RockNet. Shipping began Q1 2008 and amongst the first users of RockNet are prominent productions like Bruce Springsteen, Queen and the Grammy Awards.
Thomas Riedel, Managing Director of Riedel Communications GmbH & Co. KG, said: "With RockNet we have a new product line, which really complements our existing portfolio. The acquisition also strengthens our development expertise in the field of professional audio products. We really look forward to the further development and success of RockNet."
Matthias Knoth, Managing Director of Media Numerics GmbH, said: "With the integration of Media Numerics into the Riedel family, this will allow us to focus 100 per cent on the development of further innovative features for RockNet. Tasks such as sales and order management, which increasingly absorbed our resources, can now be handled more efficiently within an international organisation such as Riedel."
