Rane HAL1x, System Installation Manual

Page: 23 / 128

NOTE
: The Remote Audio Device LEDs on the front panel differ from those on the rear panel. The
front panel LEDs provide information about signal activity on each audio channel. See the "Over-
view of HAL Devices" on page 13 for more details.
TIP
:
You can use the Remote Audio Device LEDs on the rear panel and on the RAD to trou-
bleshoot connection problems. See "Troubleshooting the HAL Hardware" on page 101 and "Trou-
bleshooting RAD Devices" on page 103 for details.
9. Relay Out ports
Reed relay ports used to signal another device. A common implementation is to link a relay port to a Tog-
gle control so that an end user can change its value. Also, the Halogen software contains a checkbox for
each relay port, the value of which you can include in a preset or link to another control, making it pos-
sible to use a preset or control to turn the relay port on or off.
10. Logic In ports
Use these TTL 5-volt digital logic input ports to communicate to the HAL System via an external control
device. You can configure each Logic In port to control a selector, toggle, or command within the HAL
System. For example, you might use a Logic In port to select between two audio channels, or to mute the
whole system.
11. Mic/Line Input ports
Use these ports to connect analog microphones or line input devices. Note that the Mic In ports support
phantom power.
12.
Line Output ports
Use these ports to connect analog line output devices, such as amplifiers or powered speakers.
13. AES3 ports
Use these ports to connect AES3 inputs and outputs to the HAL. The HAL2 supports one input port and
one output port using standard XLR connectors. Each AES3 port provides two digital audio channels.
14. IR Remote ports
Use these ports to connect each IR Remote to the HAL via a standard shielded CAT 5e cable. You must
use a standard Ethernet cable for this connection.
15. Mic/Line-Plus Input ports
Use these ports to connect microphone, balanced or unbalanced line input devices. When configured in
Halogen for Condenser Mic, each input pr48 V phantom power and 18 dB input gain. When Con-
figured for Dynamic Mic, each input provides 30 dB input gain. When configured in Halogen for bal-
anced, each input is +4 dBu balanced. When configured for unbalanced, each input is -10 dBV
unbalanced, with left and right channels summed to a single mono input.
