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 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 left vertical panel lists all
the available devices in a directory tree for-
mat. 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 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 IC16-R
loudspeakers to our system. Clicking on Add
Virtual Device(s) in the top left toolbar opens
an Add New Speakers window. Browse to
find the loudspeaker model you want to add
(IC16-R 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 IC16-R 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 set-
tings can then be uploaded to the actual
loudspeakers once your computer has been
connected to the loudspeaker network at the
site.
