CONNECT
Assigning Digital and Analog Inputs
The larger right portion of the Properties windows vary with the operating mode. The Connect window is divided into an upper light grey
Internal DSP Connections section and and a darker grey lower CobraNet Routing Assignments section.
The Assign Amplifier Inputs portion of the upper section is where you select which one of the Array’s multiple inputs will be routed to the
Main input and which one will be used for the Priority override circuit. RHAON Empowered loudspeakers have provisions for two CobraNet
digital audio inputs, two analog audio inputs and a serial audio (AES3 format) digital input. Selecting the input is as simple as clicking on
one of the radio buttons.
Notice that the Analog 1 input includes a 10 dB pad. In the Pad’s On position it inserts a 10 dB pad into the Analog 1 input, allowing input
signals as high as +24 dBu. Without the pad, the analog inputs clip at +12 dBu.
The square Signal Present indicators turn green whenever a signal is present.. You can activate any of the analog and CobraNet digital
inputs in the upper group. If you select either of the AES/EBU inputs in the lower group, all Analog and CobraNet inputs are disabled.
The right hand Assign Cobranet Outputs portion of the upper section lets you use any of the audio inputs or amplifier outputs as an output
to the CobraNet network, except for the AES/EBU inputs. AES/EBU signals are clocked separately from CobraNet and cannot be output to
CobraNet from RHAON.
The lower CobraNet Routing Assignments section is where you select which CobraNet input channel you want to use and set up the output
transmitter.
You can use RHAON without digital audio distribution via CobraNet to Control and Supervise your system, or you can combine digital and
analog signal distribution for redundant signal path and/or life safety applications. However, if you use AES/EBU serial digital inputs,
all other audio inputs are automatically disabled.
If you are not using CobraNet for digital audio distribution in your RHAON system, you can skip the next few pages and move on to Beam
Steering (page 23).
