- 4 zones, each with stereo BGM (background music) and wall panel controllers for source selection/volume control.
- Support for mobile device control of source selection/volume control in each zone.
- 2 remotely located page microphones connected to a single DSP processor via a Dante™ network.
- Page zone selection using a 4-button wall panel at each page station location.
- Programmable automatic page over music “ducking” of BGM in all zones.
- Ambient noise controlled automatic music volume adjustment in each zone.
- Secure super-user Windows® control screen located in the managers office.
- Audio system MUTE ALL function triggered from a fire/emergency alarm system.
- Comprehensive loudspeaker management in all four zones to include parametric EQ, high and low pass 48dB/octave filter, comp/liming, delay and mute.

Solution Overview
| Requirement | Notes |
|---|---|
| BGM selection on volume control | An ARC-3 wall panel is installed in each of the four zones. |
| Two paging microphones | The mics are connected to the xIn 4. Page signals transmitted via Dante network to Radius 12×8 EX |
| Zone selection from each page mic | An ARC-SW4e is mounted in close proximity to each page mic for destination zone selection. |
| Ambient level control of music in 4 zones | Radius 12×8 EX programmed with Symetrix proprietary SPL algorithms. |
| Secure super-user control screen | Composer generated Windows file for use by administrative staff only. |
| Fire/emergency audio MUTE ALL | Third-party alarm system logic wired to Radius 12×8 EX external control input triggers a Mute All state. |
| Mobile BYOD browser based control of music source and volume in each zone | Radius 12×8 EX embedded ARC-WEB server is programmed from Composer to control source selection and volume in parallel with ARC-SW4e wall panels in each zone. |
| Comprehensive loudspeaker management | Radius 12×8 EX programmed from Composer with Speaker Manager and Compressor modules. |
| Automatic ducking | Radius 12×8 EX programmed from Composer with Ducker modules in all 4 zones. |
Radius 12x8 EX
- Universal DSP building block with a 64×64 channel Dante™ network audio port.
- 12 analog mic/line inputs and 8 analog outputs.
- Configurable input/output option card slot reduces total system cost.
- Industry leading audio performance specifications..
xIn 4
- 4 channel analog input expander with a 4 channel Dante™ network audio output.
- Programmed using Composer.
- Industry leading audio performance specifications.
- 1/2 rack form factor. Options for surface or rack mounting.
ARC-PSe
- Versatile half-rack power supply distributes power and data to multiple ARC wall panels via eight RJ-45 connectors over long distances.
- Connects directly to Edge, Radius, Prism and Jupiter DSPs using standard CAT5/6 cables.
- Supports flexible ‘star’ configuration, ‘daisy-chain’ or a hybrid of the two.
ARC-SW4e
- Modular user wall panel with four buttons that are programmable as momentary, latched or radio.
- Well-suited for control of mute, source selection and presets.
- Tri-color LEDs provide user feedback. LEDs and buttons may be linked programmed independently.
ARC-3
- 32 menus, each with up to 32 items for controlling basic audio functions or complex logic-based events including volume, preset and source selection, room combining and more.
- Bright, crisp 256×64 pixel OLED display is graphic and multi-lingual capable.
- Capacitive touch user interface with LED side lighting provides instant operational feedback.
Composer
- Composer is an award winning CAD program used to create site file designs perfectly suited to each and every application.
- Management of all aspects of audio routing, processing, mixing, user control and security for Edge, Radius and Prism series DSPs and accessories.
- Native configuration and control of select Dante third-party endpoints.
- Over 600 DSP modules and dozens of control and logic modules.
SymVue
- SymVue is a network-based application for Windows PCs, touchscreen PCs, and tablets.
- Control screens are authored in Composer from which SymVue runtime versions are generated.
- Important control parameters from one or multiple DSPs are easily consolidated onto user friendly screens.
- Multiple and concurrent instances of SymVue may be deployed across a control network.
- Parameter changes are always in sync between Composer, ARC Wall Panels, ARC-WEB, third-party controllers, and SymVue.
ARC-WEB
- Use a web browser running on a mobile and desktop device to control audio via embedded web servers running on Edge, Radius, Prism and Jupiter DSPs.
- End users control volume, mute, source selection and other parameters of their sound systems using favorite browsers.
- Flexible and secure. Up to four users can be assigned a different ARC-WEB with unique privileges and security.
- Installation is simple. Just connect the DSP to a low cost wireless access point.
- Using a mobile device, management can roam between zones to adjust source and volume, matching the functionality of the local ARC wall panels in each zone.
