R1 Remote control software

R1 Remote control software is a graphical drag and drop user
interface enabling the construction of a screen based virtual 
control surface for d&b systems, using the d&b Remote network.
All major features, functions and controls available on the front 
panel of the D6 and D12 amplifiers may be remotely controlled 
and/or monitored using R1. The architecture of R1 allows control 
of each channel of the amplifier as a single entity and enables 
the creation of groups of loudspeakers in as little, or as much 
detail as required by the user. When grouped together, a button or 
fader can control the overall system level, zone level, equalization 
and delay, power ON/OFF, MUTE and loudspeaker function 
switches such as CUT/HFA/HFC or CPL.
R1 has extensive facilities for storing and recalling system settings
allowing these to be repeated, as and when required. It is easy to 
adjust R1 project files for use with a different set of equipment at 
another location. Password protection is available to restrict 
access.
R1 runs on PCs operating Microsoft Windows XP SP3/Vista SP1/7

 X, using the Windows driver for R60 

USB to CAN interface.
For older, Power PC based Mac computers, Windows emulation 
needs to be used, together with the R60 driver for Mac/PPC. For 
R70 Ethernet to CAN, no driver is needed.
All the latest available drivers, R1 example files that can be used 
as templates and the TI 391 describing the effective use of R1 
are available for download at www.dbaudio.com.

R10 Service software

R10 Service software enables the simultaneous firmware update 
of multiple amplifiers from a central location. Using R10,
AmpPresets can be adjusted to the application requirements.

Integration with media control 

For integration of d&b audiotechnik loudspeaker systems into 
media control applications, the R70 Ethernet to CAN interface 
is used. Media control modules (drivers) are available at 
www.dbaudio.com.

EN 60849 voice alarm applications

For remote control of voice alarm applications Programmable 
Logic Controllers (PLCs) can be integrated into the d&b Remote 
network.
