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 network, link the virtual loudspeakers with their real counterparts, and

upload the settings to each individual loudspeaker.

Your loudspeaker system can include individual

loudspeakers, groups of multiple loudspeakers,

or a combination of both. Groups as well as in-

dividual 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 left vertical panel lists all the

available devices 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 loudspeak-

er system. It functions as a “group” control for

all the loudspeakers. If you need more space

on the right, minimize the left hand section by

clicking on the Close icon on its right edge.

Let’s say we want to add two IC Squared

IC2 loudspeakers to the 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

(IC2-1 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 repre-

senting the two IC Squared arrays have been

added to the workspace and 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 loudspeakers

once your computer has been connected to the

loudspeaker network at the site.
