MLA MINI
VU-NET
INTRODUCTION
Vu-Net is the application used to connect to a U-Net enabled device such as the multicellular
family of products, the DD12, PSX, CDD Live or Merlin processor. Connection to the cabinets is
achieved using the U-Net network protocol. Vu-Net is used to monitor and control the system,
EQ optimisations for multicellular arrays are uploaded from the program and cabinet firmware is
checked and updated. Vu-Net is supplied ready installed on the Panasonic tablet PC supplied
with MLA and MLA Compact systems. It is an optional method of control for full use of MLA
Mini, DD12, PSX and CDD Live.
INSTALLATION
MLA and MLA Compact touring system owners will have a Tablet PC as part of their system
package which will be pre-loaded with all necessary software including the latest version of
Vu-Net. For owners of Installed systems, MLA Mini, DD12, PSX or CDD Live systems, Vu-Net can
be downloaded from the Martin Audio website at https://martin-audio.com/software/software/
and installed on a PC of your choice.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Vu-Net requires a Windows PC running either Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows
10; no other operating systems are supported. We would recommend a 64 bit i7 processor
running at 2.6GHz minimum with a minimum of 8GB of RAM. File sizes are not particularly
huge so a high-capacity Hard Drive is not necessary but an SSD drive will be faster and more
reliable. It may be useful for a portable system to use a tablet-style PC which can be connected
wirelessly to the network to allow freedom to listen to the system in all points in the venue and
make any adjustments in real time.
Users have reported that Vu-Net works perfectly well on an Apple Mac using Bootcamp or under
a virtual platform such as VM Ware Fusion or Parallels, (these options still require a copy of
Windows Vista, 7, 8 or 10 to be installed) however this is not supported by Martin Audio.
