General Description
HAL is more than just another DSP drag-and-drop system. It has
revolutionized system design and installation.
HAL is an expert in room combining, paging and distributed
audio systems. This groundbreaking architecture is dimensions
beyond any other solution. HAL easily guides even novice us-
ers through what used to be complex tasks in just minutes. No
intricate matrix mixing or presets are required for room combin-
ing and paging. No virtual wiring required to distribute pages and
background music to multiple zones.
Seamlessly interface HAL to your application with a broad
variety of peripheral devices including smart Digital Remotes, Re-
mote Audio Devices (RADs), portable or rack automixers, audio
I/O and logic expansion devices, wall sensors, ambient sensing
mics, small remote amplifiers, and an advanced Paging Station.
In addition, the HAL Multiprocessor and Halogen™ software
check the status, location, CAT 5 wiring integrity, and that audio
is flowing in all peripheral devices, so you know your system is
properly connected and ready to go.
HAL is more than just another DSP drag-and-drop system. It
has revolutionized system design and installation.
Four HAL multiprocessors provide various audio I/O and
control options for both large and small installations.
HAL1x supports 16 in x 16 out audio, which may be in-
creased an additional 512 in x 512 out by adding EXP1x,
EXP3x or EXP5x Expanders. Up to 32 Expanders can be
daisy-chained to a single HAL1x. Add more mic inputs with
AM Automixers. Add AEC with the new EXP7x (

HAL2 supports 18 in x 18 out audio, of which 2 x 2 come
from AES3 on XLR connections.
HAL3 supports 4 in x 8 out audio, of which 2 “Line-Plus” In-
puts accept balanced line, or mono left/right unbalanced lines.
HAL4 supports 2 in x 2 out audio, of which 2 “Mic/Line-
Plus” Inputs accept balanced mic, line, or mono left/right
unbalanced lines. (

).
See all four in the HAL System Data Sheet.
Halogen™ software includes Ethernet control support for third-
party control systems. Standard TCP/IP set and get ASCII text
messages control levels, selectors, presets and toggle actions within
Halogen. Since the same Halogen software code runs on both
Windows® and within HAL hardware, third-party control de-
velopers can test all their code using only the Halogen Windows
software. Use only software to test your control systems software
code and buy the hardware only when the install date arrives. See
the HAL System Data Sheet for screenshots and processing block
descriptions.

Well-documented example programs for AMX, Crestron and
Stardraw Control ease programming headaches. These Support
Packages are installed with Halogen software, or available as
separate downloads.
