System Wiring
IC Live arrays were developed for a wide range of different size and types of venues, including even large
multi-array events. They include RHAON, the Renkus-Heinz Audio Operations Network, which provides
operational control and supervision of multiple arrays from a remotely located computer and multi-chan-
nel digital audio distribution.
When remote computer supervision and control is not needed, IC Live arrays can be treated just like any
other self-powered loudspeaker. Simply connect an analog audio signal, plug in the power, make sure the
correct Preset is selected and adjust the level.
Although shown in the diagrams the computer, the Ethernet switch and its associated wiring are optional
and needed only when remote computer control and monitoring of the system are required. The diagrams
include remote computer control facilities so you can familiarize yourself with the equipment and wiring
requirements. Notice that an Ethernet switch is not required in an single array setups. It is needed only
when their are two or more devices, such as an array and a subwoofer.
Satisfactory 100 BaseT Ethernet switches of many sizes (output ports) are available from a number of
sources. Unmanaged switches are adequate for most applications. Managed switches are not required.
Systems using CobraNet digital audio distribution require either a suitable analog to CobraNet converter
or a mixing console with a CobraNet output. Suitable analog to CobraNet converters are available from a
number of sources, such as Biamp, Peavey and others. The converter’s output would plug into one of the
Ethernet switch ports.

Single ICL-R Array Setup
Note: If you are working with a stacked array and one or two subwoofers, make sure your power source
(power strip) is adequate to handle the power drain. A stacked array will draw up to 13 Amps at 120 Volts
and each IC215S-R needs a 15 Amp source.
