[. . . ] Installation & Operating Instructions RHAON Version 1. 2. 2. 14 USERS MANUAL For All Renkus-Heinz RHAON-Empowered Loudspeaker Systems Users of Renkus-Heinz Iconyx IC-R or IC Live digitally steered line arrays should refer to the Owners Manual supplied with these arrays for detailed instructions on their setup and use. Users Manual Read these instructions. The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on it. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. [. . . ] The center section gives you control of 8 fully parametric filters, with controls for center frequency, boost/cut and bandwidth in octaves. When you activate a filter, its button turns green and it appears on the graph ­ each filter appears in a different color. The Bypass All button at the bottom of this section lets you compare filtered and unfiltered signals quickly. All filter parameters can be controlled with the scroll wheel on your mouse. Click inside the control field and scroll to set: Gain, Bandwidth, Frequency, etc. Below the EQ section in the light grey area, you'll find a Compressor on the left. The controls ­ Threshold, Ratio, Attack Time, Release Time and Soft Knee ­ are similar to the EQ controls. You can type in values, use the Up/Down buttons, or scroll with your mouse to find the values you want. Under Signal you will find buttons that set the compressor's trigger point Above, At or Below the Knee. When the compressor is operating, the Bypass button is red and the Gain Reduction meter on the right side of this section lights up. To turn the compressor off or compare the uncompressed output, click the Bypass button. To the right of the compression Reduction Meter is the Make-Up Gain control. This control can be used to restore RMS levels of the compressed signal to those expected of the signal pre-compression. The RHAON input module's DSP has 340 milliseconds of signal delay available if you are using the 48 kHz sample rate; 170 milliseconds if you are using 96 kHz. Use either the up-down arrows or the slider control to adjust the delay time. It allows you to assign signalactivated priority override capabilities to any one of the array's multiple inputs. The Priority Override controls in the lower right section of the properties window allow you to set the Attach Time, the Hold Time, the Release Time and the Threshold level. 22 Users Manual Saving Changes CONTROL MODE At the bottom left of each Properties window is a blank black bar. When you make changes to the loudspeaker's settings, the word Save will briefly appear in this space. This lets you know that your changes are automatically being sent to the loudspeaker's onboard DSP memory. You will also be prompted to Save Your Project before you exit the RHAON software. . 23 Users Manual All Loudspeakers Control Window So far we have paid little attention to the All Loudspeakers icon in the upper left of the work space. It represents all the loudspeakers in the system and allows you to Mute all the loudspeakers simultaneously or to turn them all On or Off with the push of a single button. The All Loudspeakers Control feature also lets you assign Input connections, EQ, Delay and Compression settings for all the loudspeakers in the system at one time or adjust their sound level with just one control. It's a great time saver. CONTROL MODE 24 Double clicking on the Icon will open the Connect Properties folder. [. . . ] · Open CobraNet Discovery -- using the same settings you use in RHAON -- to see if your loudspeaker shows up. CobraNet Discovery is a Cirrus Logic software tool that identifies and displays all CobraNet devices on a network. It is helpful in diagnosing and correcting any misconfigured equipment. CobraNet Discovery was included on your RHAON CD and can be easily installed from it. [. . . ]
