System Example
This system example is provided to efficiently
outline how to utilize the system structure of
ADAM. It is provided in this manual as a
teaching tool and does not exist as a tutorial in
the software. It includes a center cluster of
two speakers in a horizontal array along with
one subwoofer and four front fill speakers
mounted at the stage lip. At this point in time
the speakers should be wired up and on, the
software loaded and running in Designer
mode, and all the loudspeakers in the network
should have been discovered.
Begin by creating a room and naming it “Main
Hall”. Next, highlight the newly created room
and create an Array and name it “CTR Cluster”.
Repeat this process and create a second array
under the Main Hall and name it “Front Fill”.
For the purpose of this example, seven generic
speakers are shown to represent the center
cluster, subwoofer, and four front fill speakers.
Next, select and drag speakers into the newly
created room structure. Drag the two center
cluster speakers into the array labeled “CTR
Cluster”. Drag the four front fill speakers into
the array labeled “Front Fill”. Drag the sub-
woofer into the room labeled “Main Hall”. If
you select the “Main Hall” from the speaker
groupings menu, you will see the Room master
channel, a channel for each array, and the
panel for the subwoofer on the room level.
If you select the “CTR Cluster” from the speak-
er groupings window, you will see the array
master channel as well as the two speaker
panels that make up the array.
If a controller is not connected properly or is
not powered up, a red “X” will appear next to
any speaker associated with that controller.
When the controller is connected properly and is powered up, a green dot will appear next to each speaker associ-
ated with that controller. When a speaker is not operating in a normal manner (e.g., experiencing a clipping condition),
a red dot will appear next to the room, the array, and the subarray that the speaker is located in, as well as next to
the speaker itself.
Save the system using the “Save As” command from the File drop-down menu. Each time the software is
launched from the start menu, it will start with a new unconfigured network.
Note: If a padlock icon appears in the channel/loudspeaker panel window, then the Control Selector
Switch is in the “Front” position. To remove the lock, switch the Control Selector Switch to “Remote”.
