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.
