Important:
If you will be controlling/supervising your RHAON empowered system with a laptop, do not close the lap
-
top’s lid or allow your laptop to go to sleep (hibernate) during operation. To prevent this set your laptop’s
Hibernation / Sleep settings to “Never”.
Some CobraNet components may not wake up from hibernation when your computer awakens. Your
system will continue to operate normally until you attempt to change any of the settings. For example,
until you attempt to change your Presets (they won’t load) or change your EQ settings and you can’t
save them to the loudspeaker(s). Communications between your computer and the loudspeakers on the
network have been disrupted by the malfunctioning CobraNet components.
Note that this does not affect normal operation. Your system will continue to operate normally until you
try to change some of the settings. If this occurs or some other Windows™ event causes the CobraNet
components to malfunction, you will need to either Restart your computer or use the Windows Task Man
-
ager to return to normal operation. To use the Task Manager, close RHAON (and, if running, CobraNet
Discovery) and use “Ctrl-Alt-Delete” to open the Task Manager. Select the “Processes” tab and look for
‘PACNDISCO.EXE’ and ‘PASSBRIDGE.EXE’ (Windows may shorten the names and add ‘~1’). Select
them and click “End Process”. Then re-open RHAON.
Dual subwoofer assemblies combined with either
a single ICL-R array or with two stacked ICL-R
arrays are two other popular configurations.
The dual subwoofers provide the desired mount
-
ing height for the array(s) and enough bass for
even the most demanding musical events.
Stacked ICL-R arrays provide tighter beam
control than a single ICL-R and a much higher
output level. They are especially desirable in
reverberant rooms where tight control of the
beam is needed to deliver clear speech over a
considerable distance.
When only speech is involved and the bass
support provided by the subwoofers is not
needed, single or stacked ICL-R arrays are an
ideal solution.
They can be attached to the truss work with
Chesebrough clamps or by removing the array’s
rear pole/handle and using the pole clamps to
secure the array to the truss.
ICL-R arrays are also equipped with Aeroquip
fly-track, so they can also be easily flown
from the truss with industry standard Aeroquip
hardware.
Operation Without Computer Control
This portion of the Users Guide assumes that all input connections have been made and that you are not
using CobraNet digital audio for the program source. If you are using CobraNet digital audio, refer to the
IC Live Users Manual for detailed instructions.
If you are working with a stacked array, the Slave (top) module is controlled by the Master module and
most of the Slave’s controls will be inoperative. Your connections need to be made to the lower Master
module. You also need to make sure the CAT5 linking signal cable and the short AC power cable that
links the two modules together are in place.
1.
Plug in the power cord and/or turn on AC power to the Array. The ICL-R does not have a power switch.
However it can be placed in or out of Standby with the Volume Up and Down push buttons. To change
hold both buttons down for several seconds. The Power LED will glow when the amplifier is On.
2.
Check the Preset read out display to make sure the correct
preset is selected. If it isn’t, use the Up & Down push buttons
to select the desired preset. Then press the Enter button. The
display will flash while the new preset is being loaded and
return to a steady glow when the procedure is complete. If
by accident, you select an empty preset, the dots following
the numbers will flash to show no preset is being loaded (is
available).
3. If you will be using an AES/EBU digital signal, make sure
the AES/EBU input has been selected. The AES/EBU status
LED will be glowing green if it is selected.
4.
Check the setting of the Input Pad. The pad should be
inserted if your analog input source has a high output level.
When On, a 10 dB pad is inserted into the input circuit
enabling the amplifier to handle input levels of up to + 24
dBu. The yellow LED will glow when the pad is inserted.
5.
Set the amplifier’s output level using the Volume Up &
Down push buttons. Notice that when you are using these
buttons the readout will display the level setting in dB. You can
also mute the output by pressing the Mute button.
6.
During the show monitor the amplifier’s operation with the
amplifier’s status LEDs.
Computer Controlled Operation
Click on the RHAON icon on your computers desktop to open RHAON
Note: RHAON empowered systems feature several levels of password protection to prevent inadvert
-
ent or unauthorized changes of the control settings and you may be denied access to some or all of the
control settings.
If your computer has been set up for password protection, opening RHAON will produce a Sign-In
prompt asking for your password. You will be unable to proceed until you have entered your password.
For more details on RHAON and password protection, please refer to your Users Manual.
