AC6
Quickstart Guide
AC6™ System Overview
Adaptive Systems™ are one of the most
technologically advanced loudspeakers ever
created, including the latest advances in
transducer, DSP, mechanical, amplification,
and software technology. Through the close
integration of these disciplines, the user is free
to simply define the coverage, consistency
and sound pressure level (SPL) required
of the system. With a minimal amount of
user-provided information, the AC6 system
will use Adaptive Performance to provide
optimal sound reinforcement for that specific
requirement.
The AC6 system workflow offers a range of
entry points and allows the user to assess
options for deploying the system. New users
may wish to create a model of the venue
and ask the AC6 system to recommend array
configurations based on available inventory.
Experienced users may design their own arrays
as models and ask the AC6 system to adapt
performance to the venue. Masterful users
may simply deploy arrays and then ask the
system to adapt performance.
On-site, users can readily and quickly manipulate
system performance using EAW Resolution 2
software.
The AC6 loudspeaker is intended for professional
use. The construction, components, and
hardware have been designed to provide robust,
reliable performance for its intended application.
Please ensure that you fully understand proper
installation and operation before use. Ownership
of an ADAPTive sound system assumes that only
expert users will operate the system and that
all workers associated with system deployment
enjoy a working understanding of the critical life-
safety issues associated with large-scale sound
system use.
Internal Processing & Amplification
As is true of all professional loudspeaker
systems, the performance of the AC6 depends
on amplifiers delivering an adequate supply
of clean power. To maximize performance,
each module includes powerful, built-in, high-
efficiency amplifiers that are exactly matched
to their transducers. AC6 modules include
36 independent channels of amplification
and DSP in order to provide independent
control of each transducer. Even though
extremely lightweight compared to other
products in the same output category, these
amplifiers are designed to meet and exceed
the exceptionally high output requirements of
professional applications
.
Infrared (IR) Transceivers
Each time a user powers on an AC6 array, the
modules immediately use the IR transceivers
on the top and bottom of the cabinet to
announce themselves to their neighbors
and recognize the announcements of their
neighbors. AC6 recognizes each individual
and the array as a whole and presents that
to Resolution software. Identifying specific
modules is not necessary. All that is needed
is identifying where each array is located
within the venue (left, right, etc.). The AC6 will
determine which modules are within each
array and how that array is configured.
LEDs
There are three acoustic modules on AC6, each
equipped with a bright white LED that is used
for identifying AC6 arrays. It is triggered when
the Identify function in Resolution software
is activated. In addition, a Fault or Limiter
Activation mode can be selected in Resolution
and the LED will illuminate when one of these
two conditions is met.
