APPENDIX II: RHAON Block Diagrams
CobraNet With Analog Backup
The block diagram below shows a combination system combining CobraNet with analog audio distribution and RHAON loudspeaker con-
trol and monitoring. Notice that the analog audio wiring loops (is daisy chained) from loudspeaker to loudspeaker.
Notes
1. Combination systems such as the one shown above often use the multi-channel audio distribution capabilities of CobraNet for normal
program distribution and the analog audio circuit for other functions. The analog audio circuit need not connect all the loudspeakers
together. It could, for example, be broken into several separate analog circuits for zone paging applications, for monitors, fills, etc.
2. The analog to CobraNet converter would not be needed for a system using only analog audio along with RHAON Control and Supervi-
sion. The Analog to CobraNet converter is needed only if CobraNet digital audio distribution will be used.
3. The Ethernet network is required for control and supervision even if only analog is being used.
Basic Analog System
1. Simple single array systems using analog audio do not require an Ethernet switch. All that is needed is a CAT5 Crossover cable.
