AC6
User Manual
Infrared (IR) Transceivers
Each time a user powers on an AC6 array, the
modules immediately use the IR transceivers
on the top and bottom of the cabinet to
announce themselves to their neighbors
and recognize the announcements of their
neighbors. AC6 recognizes each individual
and the array as a whole and presents that
to Resolution software. Identifying specific
modules is not necessary. All that is needed
is identifying where each array is located
within the venue (left, right, etc.). The AC6 will
determine which modules are within each
array and how that array is configured.
LEDs
The top of each acoustic module houses a
bright white LED that is used for identifying
AC6 arrays. It is triggered when the Identify
function in Resolution software is activated.
In addition, a Fault or Limiter Activation mode
can be selected in Resolution and the LED will
illuminate when one of these two conditions
is met.
NOTE
: The bottom acoustic module is inverted.
The resulting LED arrangement can be used to
confirm orientation of the loudspeaker.
Using the Loudspeaker
Users will need to perform the following
general tasks to properly put the AC6 into use.
This manual includes details for each task.
1. Design the system using the Resolution™ 2
2. Design & Control Software
program Help File for further information
.
3. Design and install suspension points to
support the array(s)/rigging in intended
locations and aimed in the desired
directions. If ground-stacked, provide a
level surface capable of supporting the
total weight of the array(s).
4. Connect an audio signal to the
loudspeakers in the array or to a Dante™
source.
5. Connect the loudspeakers to a power
source.
6. Connect a control computer with
Resolution software to the AC6 network.
7. Set-up and adjust overall system gain
and signal processing, as needed to
maximize the array's performance for the
application.
8. Provide training to operate the
loudspeakers within their limits.
9. Provide regular inspection and
maintenance to maintain the integrity of
the installation and the performance of
the loudspeakers.

properly designing AC6 arrays.
Software
EAW Resolution 2 software is designed to
control ADAPTive systems. For advanced
functions like in-venue optimization,
supplemental software such as Rational
Acoustics® Smaart™ may be desired, but this is
not required for basic system operation.
Always ensure that your EAW Resolution
software and AC6 firmware are up-to-date.
