CobraNet Signal Routing
CobraNet devices transmit and receive digital audio (48 or 96 kHz, 16, 20 or 24 bit) in bundles of up to 8 channels. The number of chan-
nels per bundle can vary, depending on latency and resolution settings. The number of bundles available depends on network bandwidth.
Each CobraNet bundle has a number from the following ranges:
0: Disables the receiver or transmitter.
1 thru 255: Multicast mode (many receivers can access the same bundle).
256 thru 65,279: Unicast mode (allows only one receiver to receive the bundle).
In order for CobraNet devices to communicate, their Tx (Transmit) and Rx (Receive) bundle numbers must match. RHAON software makes
this easy. In some cases the settings of a CobraNet source will have already been established with the source’s own proprietary software
and can be changed only with the manufacture’s software. However, if the manufacturer’s software allows it you can set or reset both
receiver and transmitter bundle settings of any device found on the CobraNet network using RHAON software.
The first step in setting up CobraNet rout-
ing is to scan the network and then drag the
CobraNet Source that was detected by Scan
Network into the work space.
The CobraNet Source and the devices con-
nected to it must have the same Sample Rate
and Latency settings. Right clicking on the Co-
braNet Source Icon will open a pop up screen
showing the Sample Rate and Latency settings.
We suggest you accept the Source’s default
settings unless you have a specific reason to
change them.
You will then want to check the device set-
tings to make sure they are the same as the
Source’s settings. The settings must be the
same for the source and for all devices con-
nected to it.
While latency may be changed here via point-
and-click, the sample rate is pre-programmed
in the DSP firmware running in the loudspeaker.
You can switch the sample rate only by upload-
ing the appropriate firmware to the loudspeaker.
Please refer to page 52, “Updating DSP Firm-
ware” for information on how to upload new
firmware to your device.
Next, check the bundle settings of the Co-
braNet Source device. The Source in our ex-
ample has 4 Receivers and 4 Transmitters. The
red triangles on the left of its icon represent Rx
bundles and the green triangles represent Tx
bundles. Right clicking on one of the triangles
will open a pop up window that shows the
bundle number and allows you to change it.
