RHAON software can save you time at the job site by enabling you to set up a complete virtual loudspeaker system before you go to
the site. When you get to the site, you connect your computer to the network, link the virtual loudspeakers with their real counterparts,
and upload the settings to each individual loudspeaker.
Your loudspeaker system can include individual loudspeakers, groups of multiple loudspeakers, or a combination of both. Groups as
well as individual loudspeakers can be controlled (turned On or Off, Muted, have their levels adjusted, and more) using your mouse.
We recommend you consider using “Groups” in your designs. You can always control each individual loudspeaker, but quite often it’s
more efficient to have them grouped
together..
You begin designing a virtual system in
the main RHAON window, which is divided
into two sections. The left vertical panel
lists all the available devices in a directory
tree format. The larger section on the right
displays loudspeaker icons and other spe-
cialized work areas: the All Loudspeakers
icon represents your loudspeaker system.
It functions as a “group: control for all the
loudspeakers. If you need more space on
the right, minimize the left hand section by
clicking on the Close icon on its right
edge.
Lets say we want to add nine ST4/64R
loudspeakers to our system. Clicking on
Add Virtual Device(s) in the top left toolbar
opens an Add New Speakers window.
Browse to find the loudspeaker model you
want to add (ST4/64R in the example)
and select it. Type a quantity (9 in our
screen shot) into the Amount To Add field
and click the Add button.
In the screen shot to the right, icons rep-
resenting the nine ST4/64R loudspeakers
have been added to the workspace and
moved to their approximate location by
grabbing them with the Mouse Cursor and
moving them.
Our sample system also has six CF61R
downfill loudspeakers, so add them to the
virtual system using the same technique.
Now you can define initial DSP settings
for your virtual loudspeakers. The DSP
settings can then be uploaded to the actu-
al loudspeakers once your computer has
been connected to the loudspeaker net-
work at the site.
