13.1. overview
In many circumstances you will adjust and control your Sabine wireless micro-
phone system using the front panel controls, as outlined in previous sections of
this operating guide. In circumstances where an enhanced level of control over
a single receiver is desired, or to enable simultaneous computer-based control
of multiple receivers, you will need to install (on either a laptop or desktop com-
puter) the free Sabine SWM Remote Control Software included with your system.
Only receivers may be remotely controlled; handheld and belt pack transmitters
cannot be remotely controlled.
For online instructions for any function in the software, you may also refer to
the Help menu.
13.1.1. Single vs. Multiple Receiver Control
All series receivers have an RS-232 9-pin serial COMM Port and a USB port.
Thus, any single receiver can be controlled remotely. Control over multiple receiv-
ers from a single computer is possible only with ND-series receivers (SW62 and
72-NDR). These units have additional RS-485 network connections (RJ-45 jacks)
for daisy-chain connection from one receiver to the next. Up to 35 receivers (70
transmission channels if all receivers are 2-channel) may be connected in this
network, all under the control of a single computer. Single- and dual-channel
receivers can be mixed in the same network. The first receiver in such a network
can be connected to the computer via an RS-232 9-pin serial cable or USB cable.
The remaining units connect via an RS-485 cable.
NOTE: It is not possible to upgrade/retrofit a standard receiver to make it an
ND-series unit.
13.1.2 Features & Controls Added Software
All front panel controls and displays are duplicated in the software. In addition,
a deeper level of software control over receiver operation is enabled. These
new controls are complete and independent for each transmission/reception
channel, meaning there are two sets of controls for dual channel receivers.
These controls and displays include:
•
Parametric filter access and control.
FBX filters can be changed to
parametric filters, and their width, depth, and frequency can be adjusted.
Changes can be made at any time, both before and after FBX filters have
been set. Parametric and FBX filters can be mixed in any combination,
totaling 10 for each receiver channel.
•
Adjustable FBX parameter control.
Maximum depth of FBX filters can
be adjusted globally; filter width can be adjusted globally or individually.
Two controls, Sensitivity and Persistence, can be tweaked to tailor the
operation of automatic FBX filter placement to match the audio program.
Proper settings will optimize the balance between false filtering and de-
layed response to feedback (the factory default settings should operate
excellently in the vast majority of conditions and may never need to be
changed).
•
Control over balance of FBX Fixed and Dynamic filters.
Any FBX
filter can be set to be either fixed or dynamic.
•
Adjustable high and low cut filters.
(Software only) High Cut Filter, user
controllable between 3 KHz and 20 KHz, 12 dB/octave roll-off; Low Cut
Filter user controllable between 20 Hz and 1 KHz, 12 dB/octave roll-off.
•
Additional compressor controls.
Aside from adjustments for ratio,
threshold, and attack (which duplicate front panel controls), the Remote
Software provides control of compressor release time and knee. The
effect of compression on the output signal as a function of input signal
strength and parameter settings is displayed in Sabine’s unique dynamic
ColorComp graph, in addition to the traditional opposing-meter indica-
tors.
