Assigning Digital and Analog Inputs
The larger right portion of the Properties windows vary with the operating mode. The Connect window is divided into an upper light grey
Internal DSP Connections section and and a darker grey lower CobraNet Routing Assignments section.
The Assign Amplifier Inputs portion of the upper section is where you select which one of the Array’s multiple inputs will be routed to the
Main input and which one will be used for the Priority override circuit. RHAON Empowered loudspeakers have provisions for two
CobraNet digital audio inputs, two analog audio inputs and a serial audio (AES3id format) digital input. Selecting the input is as simple
as clicking on one of the radio buttons.
Notice that the Analog 1 input includes a 10 dB pad. In the On position it inserts a 10 dB pad into the Analog 1 input, allowing input sig-
nals as high as +24 dBu. Without the pad, the analog inputs clip at +12 dBu.
The square Signal Present indicators turn green whenever a signal is present.. You can activate any of the analog and CobraNet digital
inputs in the upper group. If you select either of the AES/EBU inputs in the lower group, all Analog and CobraNet inputs are disabled.
The right hand Assign Cobranet
Outputs portion of the upper section
lets you use any of the audio inputs or
amplifier outputs as an output to the
CobraNet network, except for the
AES/EBU inputs. AES/EBU signals
are clocked separately from CobraNet
and cannot be output to CobraNet
from RHAON.
The Beam Steering and Load Preset
buttons are used to configure the
Array’s beams and to load and save
any configuration presets for future
use. We’ll cover these function in
detail later on.
The lower CobraNet Routing
Assignments section is where you
select which CobraNet input channel
you want to use and set up the output
transmitter.
You can use RHAON without digital
audio distribution via CobraNet to Control
and Supervise your system, or you can
combine digital and analog signal
distribution for redundant signal path
and/or life safety applications. However,
if you use AES/EBU serial digital inputs,
all other audio inputs are automatically
disabled.
If you are not using CobraNet for digital audio distribution in your RHAON system, you can skip the next few pages and move on to
Beam Steering (page 23).
