Text fields for entering a name for the loud-
speaker and listing its location.
Press Wink with Light button to turn the
loudspeaker’s wink light on and off to aid in
identifying the loudspeaker and its location.
Output status indicators for each amplifier.
See Status Indicators below for details.
Output bar graphs for each amplifier. “0”
represents the maximum uncompressed
output level; positive values indicate how
far the signal is overshooting into limiting;
negative values indicate the amount of
headroom left before the onset of limiting.
Output meter(s) Voltage/Watts control but-
tons. See Output Meters below for details.
Individual mute buttons for each amplifier
and a Mute All control which mutes the
entire loudspeaker.
Press to restart the loudspeakers DSP in
the event of a malfunction.
Power button switches the amplifier(s)
between On and Standby. (turning AC
power on and off is an entirely manual
operation.
Input signal level bar graph; “0” indicates
the onset of input clipping. Analog inputs
clip at +12 dBu without the 10 dBa input
pad, +24 dBu with the pad.
Listing of the loudspeakers model number
and the sample rate (either 48 kHz or 96
kHz) of its DSP. See Appendix lll for more
details.
Inv. button inverts the input signal polarity;
glows green when signal is inverted. Use
with caution.
Amplifier temperature reading and
bar graph.
Indicates Save whenever a change is
made as a reminder to save the change.
Volume control slider; adjust by grabbing
slider with mouse or by using up/down
arrows.Settings adjustable from “0” to -50
in 1 dBa steps, then to -100 dBa in one
step; settings below -8 dBa prevent the
loudspeaker from reaching full output.
The vertical pane in each properties window provides for loudspeaker identification and selected control features. See below for details.
Status Indicators:
The Thermal, Peak and Fail indicators above the output meter(s) provide critical information on the amplifiers status.
The Peak indicator will flash yellow or red whenever the amplifier’s peak limiter is triggered. It’s normal for the indicator to flash occasion-
ally if the loudspeaker is being used close to its rated output. Flashing frequently is a sign that the system volume needs to be turned
down. The Thermal indicator will start to flash yellow as the amplifier's temperature approaches a preset level and will turn red if the tem-
perature continues to increase as a warning the amplifier is about to be shut down. The Fail indicator glows red when the amplifier has
been shut down by the protective circuitry. Heat related shutdowns will reset automatically after the amplifier cools down to a safe temper-
ature.
As a further protective measure, the amplifier’s gain will gradually be reduced in response to overheating and/or to high an input level.
However, it’s best to manually reduce the input signal level (overall system volume) in response to distress signals.
Output Meters:
The V and W buttons below the output meters allow you to switch them from Volts (the more conventional default
method) to RHAON’s unique Watts meters. Watts are calculated by multiplying the actual output voltage across the driver by the actual
current through it. This is more accurate than calculations using an impedance figure. Watts metering is used to quickly identify open-cir-
cuit (failed) drivers. Since open drivers draw no current, the output meter will remain at zero regardless of the input level.
Press Wink with Audio to send a Tone sig-
nal or Pink Noise to the loudspeaker.
