Virtual System Design
RHAON software can save you time at the job site by enabling you to set up a complete virtual loudspeaker system before you go to the
site. When you get to the site, you connect your computer to the RHAON network, link the virtual loudspeakers with their real counterparts,
and upload the virtual system settings to each individual loudspeaker.
Your loudspeaker system can include individu-
al loudspeakers, groups of multiple loudspeak-
ers, or a combination of both. Groups as well
as individual loudspeakers can be controlled
(turned On or Off, Muted, have their levels
adjusted, and more) using your mouse.
We recommend you consider using “Groups”
in your designs. You can always control each
individual loudspeaker, but quite often it’s
more efficient to have them grouped together.
You begin designing a virtual system in the
main RHAON window, which is divided into
two sections. The narrow vertical panel on the
left lists all the available devices in the network
in a directory tree format.
The larger section on the right displays
loudspeaker icons and other specialized work
areas. The All Loudspeakers icon represents
your loudspeaker system. It functions as a
“group” control for all the loudspeakers.
If you need more space in the work area on
the right, minimize the left hand section of the
display by clicking on the Close icon on its
right edge.
Let’s say we want to add two IC16-R-II
loudspeakers to our system. Clicking on Add
Virtual Device(s) in the top left tool bar opens
an Add New Speakers window. Browse to
find the loudspeaker model you want to add
(IC16-R-II in the example) and select it. Type a
quantity (2 in our screen shot) into the Amount
To Add field and click the Add button.
In the screen shot to the right, icons represent-
ing the two IC16-R-II arrays have been added
to the workspace and then moved to their
approximate location by grabbing them with
the Mouse Cursor and moving them.
Now you can define initial DSP settings for
your virtual loudspeakers. The DSP settings
can then be uploaded to the actual loudspeak-
ers once your computer has been connected
to the loudspeaker network at the site.
