RHAON ORGANIZATION: Three Fundamental Audio Operations
Before we go on, let’s take a look at the structure of RHAON. Audio operations comprise three fundamental areas that are necessary for
the success of any sound system:
CONNECT
In a RHAON system there are both physical connections and network (software) connections. The physical connections are made using
UTP cable meeting at least CAT5 standards and/or analog cables as well as AC power cords. Network connections are established in
the software. You don’t have to make the two types of connections in a particular order. RHAON software allows you to set up a “virtual
system”, use beam steering, pre-congure DSP settings for individual loudspeakers and establish and store preset congurations before
the physical connections are made. If you are using RHAON’s CobraNet digital audio functions, you will also need to connect a CobraNet
source (an analog to CobraNet converter) to the network.
CONTROL
You can control many DSP parameters in real time, and/or pre-congure them in software prior to installation and make nal adjustments
during commissioning or setup. Preset congurations are available for instant recall.
SUPERVISE
RHAON allows both real-time supervision while the system is in use, and remote supervision with fault logging and operator alerts via
e-mail, text messaging, etc. In steerable arrays, every single driver is supervised and its status displayed; any failures detected trigger an
alarm.
At any time you can switch into any of the three RHAON operating modes using the Connect | Control | Supervise tool bar directly above
the work space. You can also switch between the three fundamental operating modes and the Beams / Presets folder using tabs inside the
Loudspeaker Properties windows.
