Group Control
RHAON software allows you to create Groups of loudspeakers and also set up Groups of loudspeakers within a single master Group.
Clicking Add Groups in the toolbar adds a group to the System listing tree and puts a Group icon into the workspace on the right.
You add Loudspeakers to the Group by dragging and
dropping their listing in the Systems tree into the
Group listing. When they are added to the Group,the
loudspeaker icons will disappear into the Group icon.
To view all the loudspeakers in the Group, click on the
Expand/Collapse toggle at the lower right of the Group
Icon.
Note that loudspeakers within a group are linked to the
Group Icon and cannot be individually moved around
the work space.
Double-clicking on the Group Icon will bring up the
Group Properties window.
The Group Properties window in the Connect mode
has the same controls found in any individual loud-
speaker’s Properties window, except for the lack of
meters and CobraNet channel selection facilities. Use
the Name field at the top left to give your loudspeaker
group a name that’s more informative than “Group.”
In the dark grey area on the left are Power, Wink with
Light and Wink with Audio buttons. These tools are
similar to those in a Loudspeaker Properties window,
but of course they “Wink” the front grill lights of all the
loudspeakers in the group, or send an audio signal
(sine wave signal or pink noise) to them. In a similar
fashion, the Power button puts all amplifiers in the
Group in Standby or turns all of them On. The Volume
control slider and Mute button also affect all amplifiers
in the Group. Group metering is not available.
The Input selection radio buttons in the light grey area
operate in the same way these controls operate for
individual loudspeakers, but control all loudspeakers in
the Group.
