VNET SOFTWARE
The loudspeakers are fully calibrated at the factory, avoiding the need to in put the correct speaker
management settings or dynamics at the point of install. This frees the installer to concentrate instead
on room measurement and system optimisation. System commissioning and ongoing venue network
control, incorporating real time diagnostics of electronics and drive unit, are all managed by the exclusive
VNET™ software package. Supplied with each unit, this intuitive Windows tool controls all of the critical
install, commissioning and performance monitoring functions. A standard wireless LAN-to-serial bridge
can be used to communicate with the network, allowing the commissioning engineer to sit in the
auditorium communicating from a laptop on 802.11b
MONITORING & TELEMETRY FUNCTIONS_
During normal operation the speakers on the network will appear as minimised panels in the form of a
status monitor icon (Monicon) on the computer screen. These are laid out to reect the physical layout
of the speakers within the venue so that the user can monitor system status and component condition
at a glance. The minimised panels can be expanded to reveal highly detailed information in real time:
• Input clip indicator
• Two output limiter bar graph meter
• Heat sink temperature bar graph meter
• Amplier clip indicators (HF & LF on full range units)
• Transducer Failure Indicators (HF & LF on full range units)
• Amplier protect status indicator
VNET™ Software Features
The on-screen control panel for each device in the network has a properties tab consisting of the following:
• Model Name is factory set with product model name
• Network Handle (read only) is a numerical value set at the time of manufacture to uniquely identify
the device on the network
• Device Name is the specic user dened name, such as ‘Stage.Left’ or ‘Delay 1’
• Firmware Version (read only) is a numerical value of rmware version running in the device
• Conguration Name is the 12 character name the user can dene to describe the current settings
(such as ‘Live Mode’)
• Current ‘Voice’ prole indication (read only) is a numerical value indicating the current speaker
‘voicing’ prole (the factory set equalization, crossover, & dynamics functions)
• Software le loader in VNET™ allows a future modication to the software to be uploaded,
such as a ‘voicing’ change or revised control software with new features
• Record of any temperature or current shutdowns
• Record of the number of power cycles
• Rolling four day bar graphs recording amplier temperature and any dynamics applied
Signal Processing
• Gain Section: input gain fader with edit box (-30 to +15dB in 0.2dB steps)
• Input Mute: On, Off
• High-Pass Filter section: frequency spin / edit box and shape drop-down box
• Low-Pass Filter Section: frequency spin / edit box and shape drop-down box
• Equaliser Section: high resolution input EQ curve display
• Low Shelf Band: frequency spin / edit box, slope spin / edit box and boost-cut / edit box
• High Shelf Band: frequency spin / edit box, slope spin / edit box and boost-cut / edit box
• Parametric EQ Bands (x 8): frequency spin / edit box, slope spin / edit box and boost-cut / edit box
• Delay Section: delay spin / edit box (up to 180ms)
