Solution Overview
| Requirement | Notes |
|---|---|
| Microphone processing and routing | Each microphone connected to the system will be routed through an EQ and compressor/limiter. Each input can be routed to any output via a matrix selector. |
| Multimedia processing and routing | Mixing consoles for scoreboard/clubhouse and booth, CD and DVD players, TV satellite receivers, and radio tuners are connected to the line inputs. Audio is then processed and routed to any output via a matrix selector. |
| Loudspeaker management | Each Radius 12×8 EX is programmed using Composer to include speaker managers for EQ and delay of outputs. |
| Dante DSP network | A Dante networked audio system, comprised of Radius 12×8 EX, xIn 12, and xOut 12 units with full 64×64 send/receive capabilities linked using a standard Ethernet infrastructure. |
| Emergency audio management | When DSPs are triggered by a major incident or evacuation, all regular inputs are muted across the entire site and the regional stadium’s priority paging station is activated for distribution to all zones. |
| Remote preset recall and amplifier on/off powering | Each Radius 12×8 EX features preset control via it’s front panel. Different presets can be recalled and amplifiers can be powered up and down using front panel controls. |
| Wall mount source select and volume control | Modular ARC (ARC-K1e + ARC-EX4e) installed in the locker room provides source selection and volume control. |
| PC control system | Composer generated SymVue file for use with Windows-based PC for master control. The control system interface, located in the announcer’s booth, includes mixers with mute, source select, and volume control for each zone, fire alarm status, amplifier power up/down, and diagnostics. |
Radius 12x8 EX
- 12 analog mic/line inputs, 8 analog outputs, 64×64 Dante™.
- Configurable input/output option card slot.
- On-board 10/100 and gigabit switches.
- Industry leading audio performance specifications.
xIn 12
- 12 channel analog mic/line input expander with a 12 channel Dante™ network audio output.
- Built-in network switch can connect directly to all Composer based DSPs or standard Ethernet networks.
- Programmed using Composer.
- Industry leading audio performance specifications.
xOut 12
- 12 channel analog output expander with a 12 channel Dante™ network audio input.
- Built-in network switch can connect directly to all Composer based DSPs or standard Ethernet networks.
- Programmed using Composer.
- Industry leading audio performance specifications.
ARC-K1e
- It looks like a single volume control but it’s actually two. Push the knob in to toggle between the two rotary encoders. An LED indicates the active control.
- An 8-segment LED ladder shows the volume level.
- Hardware lockout pins accommodate an installer supplied key switch.
- Power and signal arrive and depart via CAT-5/6.
- Supports “idle” mode for light-sensitive environments such as theaters.
- Furnished with a standard, white, single gang Decora faceplate and splash resistant overlay.
ARC-EX4e
- Modular user wall panel with four buttons that are programmed 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 or programmed independently.
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.
