For its award as Best Distributed Audio Product, Meda’s Bravo Server was selected by a distinguished panel of industry experts from among more than 60 advanced products submitted by numerous leading manufacturers. The awards were presented to Meda in a special ceremony at EHX on Nov. 16.
“We’re proud to receive these awards and the industry recognition they represent,” said Meda Systems President Steve Raschke. “From the start, Meda’s mission has been to bring the power of digital entertainment technology to people in the comfort of their homes at prices they can afford. It’s gratifying to see our servers appreciated, and an inspiration to redouble our efforts to achieve even more.”

Each Bravo model incorporates the company’s advanced Digital Entertainment Operating System (DEOS), which includes exclusive Meda’s MZSync technology that automatically synchronizes sources to provide homeowners with instant access to music files and sources. Each Bravo also includes an internal hard drive, and Web compatibility that enables a broad variety of products to control and access the server.
