Beam Steering
onyx ICL-R digitally steered arrays produce tightly focused, precisely aimed beams of acoustic energy that maintain their intensity well over long
distances. The FIR files that shape and aim these beams of energy are created within RHAON under Beam Steering and then either stored as a
Preset or loaded into the array’s DSP.
Presets are an Iconyx feature that allows you to store up to 10 preset beam steering and DSP control setup configurations in the array’s DSP
memory and then select between them. To enter Beam Steering, open the Beams / Presets Tab and click on Beam Steering.
This will open the Beam Steering window shown below. Multi odule ICL-FR arrays can be configured as either “Master & Slave”or “All Master
Arrays. In the Master & Slave configuration one Array module is set up as the Master and all the other modules are Slaves to the Master and give
up control of many of their functions to the Master. In the All Master approach all modules are Masters, but they give up control of many of heir
functions to the Array Icon which serves as the Master.
The Master & Slave configuration is the most popular and the following Beamware instructions assume you are working with a Master & Slave
system. The only major operational difference is that when you are putting the system together in the virtual world you need to insert a beam into
the array before it will initiate Mapping. More details follow on the next several pages.
Cabling is a little different. In a Master and Slave system all incoming signal wires terminate in the designated Master and passed through to the
Slaves. In the All Master approach, every unit is a Master and requires its own separate signal and control cables
The Master & Slave approach is the most popular and the following Beamware instructions assume you are working with a Master & Slave sys-
tem. The big difference is in the cabling. In a Master & Slave system all cabling terminates in the Master and is then jumpered up to the Slaves.
In an All Master system, ever module is a Master and requires its own separate cabling.
