Controlling the Athena
The Audisey Athena provides multiple control options for added flexibility. The
Athena may be controlled simultaneously via the front panel, RS232, USB, or
ethernet. Begin by determining with method(s) will be used and then connect the
control cabling (see section

A dedicated computer running Athena Designer Software, Stardraw Athena
Control Software, or another software control program may be used to control

The Athena features two RS232 serial ports on the rear panel of the matrix.
