Solution Overview
| Requirement | Notes |
|---|---|
| Room Combining, BGM selection and volume control | An ARC-3 wall panel is installed in each of the six 6 rooms. |
| Rooms A and B connected using Dante network | An xIO 4×4 is used for the inputs and outputs of rooms A and B, connected via Dante network. |
| Mobile BYOD browser-based control of music source and volume in each room | The Prism embedded ARC-Web server is programmed from Composer to control source selection and volume in parallel with the ARC-3 wall panels in each room. |
| Comprehensive Loudspeaker Management | The Prism is programmed using Composer to include Speaker Manager and Compressor Modules. |
| Fire/emergency audio MUTE ALL | Third-party alarm system logic wired to a Prism external control input triggers a “MUTE ALL” state. |

- Capacitive touch user interface with LED side lighting provides instant operational feedback.
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 DSP’s using standard CAT5/6 cables.
- Supports flexible ‘star’ configuration, ‘daisy-chain’ or a hybrid of the two.
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 DSP’s.
- 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-3 wall panels in each zone.
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 DSP’s and accessories.
- Native configuration and control of select Dante third-party endpoints.
- Over 600 DSP modules and dozens of control and logic modules.
