AC Mains Connection

Connect the supplied AC mains cord to the Neutrik powerCON® socket on the rear of the RADIUS. The powerCON® system utilizes a locking connector. To lock, twist 1/4 turn clockwise after fully inserting it into the AC MAINS receptacle. Connect the other end to an AC mains supply receptacle, nominally 115 V 60 Hz or 230 V 50 Hz as labeled on the RADIUS. If necessary, have a qualified electrician change the cable plug as required for compatibility with the local AC mains receptacle.

WARNING: Before connecting a RADIUS to the AC mains supply, completely turn down the input signal using the input level attenuator. If not, there could be excessive and possibly damaging sound levels from the loudspeaker when energized.

There is no power switch on RADIUS. When connected to the AC mains, the loudspeaker will be fully operational, with the output level controlled by the signal source feeding it.

Linking power

The Neutrik powerCON® AC mains and AC loop connectors are wired in parallel to provide an AC mains inlet and outlet on each RADIUS. The blue AC mains inlet mates with a Neutrik powerCON® NACFC3A (supplied). The white AC mains outlet mates with a Neutrik powerCON® NACFC3B. Therefore, to loop the AC mains from enclosure to enclosure, connect an AC mains jumper cable as shown (jumper is not included with RADIUS).

Up to three additional RSX208L’s, RSX12’s or RSX18’s may be looped in this fashion at normal listening level (two at maximum listening level). Up to five additional RSX86’s, RSX89’s, RSX126’s or RSX129’s may be looped in this fashion at normal listening level (four at maximum listening level). Use an AC loop connector to daisy-chain AC mains power from one enclosure to another. The maximum continuous load must not exceed 12A for the 115V version and 6A for the 230V version.

NOTE: The circuit breaker only protects the AC loop outlet, not the AC mains connector. If the continuous load connected to the AC loop outlet exceeds the rated load, the circuit breaker will trip. For this situation, reduce the connected load and then manually reset the circuit breaker.

Comm

The purpose in life of this 100 Mb network connector is to connect RADIUS to a Wi-Fi router via CAT5 (or better)

Ethernet cable, thus enabling wireless control.

Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into the RADIUS network connector and the other end of the Ethernet cable into a LAN port on the router, NOT a WAN port. Most routers allow the use of either a straight-wired cable or crossover cable, but if you have a choice, a straight-wired Ethernet cable is the way to go to ensure smooth operation with any router.

If needed, complete directions for setting up the router may be found in the EAWmosaic Help File

Audio Connections

Analog Audio

Connect the output from your line-level signal source to the XLR-3F INPUT connector on the rear panel. This is an electronically balanced input. Users must provide their own XLR cables. The XLR-type connectors on the rear of each RADIUS are designed for professional audio signal levels, nominally 0 dBu (= 0.775 V). Normally, use the female XLR as the signal input. Use a male XLR as a loop-thru output to connect the same signal input to an additional RADIUS*.

The wiring convention is as follows:

Pin 1: Shield Pin 2: + / Hot Pin 3: – / Cold

*Typically, a RADIUS array or full-range loudspeaker is connected to the VARIABLE HPF output of a RADIUS subwoofer to “split” the work. The subwoofer handles all of the low frequencies and the array | loudspeaker handles the rest. As a result, it is more efficient and a bit louder.

Dante A / B

Digital Audio

These Dante ports are for connecting one RADIUS to another RADIUS (or another Dante-enabled device) via CAT5 (or better) Ethernet cable. This features dual Dante ports for daisy chaining.

DSP Navigation / Edit Wheel

Rotate (or push-click) the encoder to open settings, navigate the user interface and edit parameters and select values.

This endless rotary wheel allows you to navigate the user interface, edit sections of RADIUS and navigate within screens to select sub-menus, pages and parameters, as well as select values during editing.

LCD UI Display

The LCD UI Display is one of the most vital features of RADIUS as it displays all of the menu navigation information. When RADIUS is powered on, it will load up the last state it was in when powered off.

Front Panel LED

The front panel LED illuminates when the AC Mains In of RADIUS is plugged into a suitable AC power supply. The color of the LED, however, is dependent on the current state of the RADIUS.

These LEDs vary slightly depending on whether EAWmosaic is being used or not. In this case, we’re looking at the hardware only, so NO EAWmosaic. See below:

MODE

BOOT

NORMAL

LIMITING

FAULT

ADVERTISE

IDENTIFY

OFF

AMBER

WHITE

As seen above, the front panel LED only illuminates in ‘Advertise’ or ‘Identify’.

Advertise is engaged when a speaker is selected in the discovery shelf in EAWmosaic. This enables you to see the speaker that’s been selected, identify it and drag it into the appropriate group. The amber color of the LED makes it clear that it is not yet in the rig and still under EAWmosaic control. Once identified, the LED will turn white.

This is a manual process that can only occur when in setup mode, NOT show mode. An overview of EAWmosaic is explained later in this manual. There is even greater detail in the EAWmosaic

RSX208L / RSX12 Walkaround

Let’s walk around the boxes and take a look at some of the other features of RADIUS.

" "

Infrared (IR) Transceivers [RSX208L / RSX12]

Each time a user powers on a RADIUS, the modules immediately use the IR transceivers to announce themselves to their neighbors and recognize the announcements of their neighbors. RADIUS recognizes each individually and as a whole and presents that to EAWmosaic. Users never need to struggle to identify specific modules. The user only needs to identify where each RADIUS is located within the venue (left, right, etc.). The system will determine which modules are within each array, how that array is configured and their position in the array stack.

The RSX208L has two IR Transceivers; one on the top of the array and one on the bottom of the array. The RSX12, however, only has one IR Transceiver, located on the top of the box.

Rigging Assemblies / Rigging Pins [RSX208L / RSX12]

Every RSX208L and RSX12 comes with Rigging Assemblies with two connected Rigging Pins on each side, four total.

The RSX208L Rigging Pins come equipped with lanyards. Additionally, the RSX208L ships with two extra Rigging Pins and lanyards, although these will need to be connected first, if used.

NOTE: The integral mounting points on the RSX12 enclosure are designed to support only a single enclosure. ALWAYS SUSPEND ENCLOSURES VIA EYEBOLTS DIRECTLY FROM THE STRUCTURE. NEVER SUSPEND ENCLOSURES FROM OTHER ENCLOSURES VIA EYEBOLTS. The only exception to this is utilizing a flybar and the integral array rigging on the RSX208L or RSX12.

Always use EAWmosaic or EAW Resolution to verify the structural integrity of the array you intend to suspend. The ONLY exception to this is with the pre-defined, pre-approved array configurations provided later in this manual.
