The sensors installed on each speaker enable to obtain live information such as the level of the incoming signals, situation of internal amplifiers, working temperature and, in the case of the TTL55, information regarding inclination thanks to the inclinometer that these speakers have.

After the set-up phase, which can take place completely automatically as we have seen (the software recognises the devices that are connected to the network), you can intervene on the different parameters of the user interface of RdNet that provides an intuitive graphic reproduction of the real layout of the speakers. RdNet 2.0 enables to control each single function of each single device connected to the network. The simultaneous connection of Control8 e Control2 on the same computer cannot be carried out.

A Control8 can also be connected to the computer if a USB port is used, or up to 20 Control8 per computer if the Ethernet port is used with a switch.

In this case too it can manage up to 32 devices, controlling up to a total of 256 at the same time. RdNet Control8 is, on the other hand, is a USB/Ethernet interface in rack 19” 1HE format with 8 ports. Each Control2 can be connected to a computer. Control2 is powered directly by a computer USB port computer and does not need any external power supply. RdNet Control2 is a self-powered USB interface with two ports, each of which can handle up to 32 devices, controlling a maximum of 64 loudspeakers at the same time. There are 2 different types of interface: the first with two communication ports and the second with eight. The RdNet interfaces are the connection point between RdNet software and the loudspeaker systems to be controlled. The numerous operations that are possible with this software are described in the users manual. are displayed in an equally unequivocal and familiar graphic design, thus not needing a lot of specific training to use. The classic controls, such as GAIN, EQ, DELAY etc. When the network has been created we can access the base window of the software, which is clear and immediate in its use. This process takes place completely automatically and, once scanning has finished, the devices are shown exactly how they are connected to each other. Once cabling has been completed, the software identifies the position occupied by each device in the network and assigns a unique identifier to each of them. Just to avoid any misunderstandings, we should remember that the system does not transmit digital audio signals and, therefore, the performance of the RS-485 connected to the transmission speed has no effect at all. The RS-485 communications standard was chosen for data communication, with its high reliability and stability that enable to send out and receive data using a simple XLR cable.

The ‘core’ is therefore represented by the visual software running in nativeWindows environment and series of dedicated Hardware, both stand alone as well as installed directly in the RCF loudspeakers.Ĭommunication takes places by means of Cat5 cables in “daisy chain” mode, starting with a network cable from a port of the controller to the “Data Input” port of the first device, then leading from the “Data Link” port to the second device, and from there connecting to the following device up to a maximum of 32 devices per channel.
