RHAON ORGANIZATION: Three Fundamental Audio Operations
Before we go on, let’s take a look at the structure of RHAON. Audio operations comprise three fundamental areas that are nec-
essary for the success of any sound system:
CONNECT
In a RHAON system there are both physical connections and network (software) connections. The physical connections are
made using UTP cable meeting at least CAT5e standards and/or analog cables as well as AC power cords. Network connec-
tions are established in the software. You don’t have to make the two types of connections in a particular order. RHAON soft-
ware allows you to set up a “virtual system” using beam steering, pre-configure DSP settings for individual loudspeakers and
establish and store preset configurations before the physical connections are made. If you are using RHAON’s CobraNet digital
audio functions, you will also need to connect a CobraNet source (an analog to CobraNet converter) to the network.
CONTROL
You can control many DSP parameters in real time, and/or pre-configure them in software prior to installation and make final
adjustments during commissioning or setup. Preset configurations are available for instant recall.
SUPERVISE
RHAON allows both real time supervision while the system is in use, and remote supervision with fault logging and operator
alerts via e-mail, text messaging, etc. In steerable arrays, every single driver is supervised and its status displayed; any failures
detected trigger an alarm.
At any time you can switch into any of the three RHAON modes using the Connect | Control | Supervise tool bar directly above
the work space. You can also switch between the three modes using tabs inside the Loudspeaker Properties window.
