REMOTE AUDIO DEVICES & DRs

Description

Using one shielded category cable drop, the R AD26 provides any room with a dual 4-watt amp, end user control via a color custom LCD display & encoders, a dual universal audio I/O interface, plus headphone output and line-level input jacks for local needs. ree logic closure inputs and three active-low outputs add to the control capabilities. e amplier permits a single channel option at 8 watts into 8. Applications include:

• Presentation source and volume, projector and screen control.

• Meeting room with A/V teleconferencing and speakers.

• Spa with BGM, local music input and stereo ceiling speakers.

• Hotel or cruise ship room TV and local input sound system. A RAD26 provides enough I/O and control to support one

room in a HAL audio system which may require these features:

• Local audio line input (smartphone, laptop, MP3, DVD)

• One or two microphone or line-level inputs

• Amplier outputs for ceiling speakers

• Level control

• Source selection.

RAD26

ONE ROOM RAD REMOTE

Each RAD26 may be installed onto a standard US 2-gang electrical box, 1-gang electrical box, or ush-mounted to a wall surface. e exterior nish is matte white.

Source and level behave like a DR3 remote, but with any

combination of Levels, Toggles, Selections or Commands.

On the back there are 2 balanced Euroblock Mic / Line / Line-Plus audio inputs with the mode set in Halogen software. e Line-Plus inputs accept unbalanced left and right signals and sums them to mono. 24V phantom power is available for condenser mics. For end users, there is a 3.5 mm Aux input on the underside of the front, accepting the output of a smartphone, laptop or other consumer device.

A built-in 4-watt stereo amplier powers a small stereo pair of room speakers, or this amp can be switched in software to power a single 8-watt speaker. Balanced line outputs can drive an external amplier or powered subwoofer for more output.

Software logic senses an inserted connector at the Aux In or Headphone jacks to optionally override the rear connections.

ONE ROOM RAD REMOTE

RAD26 Meeting or Classroom Application

is conguration works for presentations in both boardrooms and classrooms.

e mic connects to the rear of the RAD26. It can be from a ceiling mic, or from a handheld or lavalier wireless mic, with 24V phantom power available for condenser mics.

A presenter can easily plug a laptop, tablet or smartphone into the sound system. A regular consumer cable with stereo 3.5 mm line plugs will work.

When no plug is present, background music or noise masking is available, sent from a HAL multiprocessor elsewhere in the building. A RAD26 selection decides which source, and how loud.

e amplier is set to dual 4 watt mode to drive the left and right speakers.

e logic outputs can be congured as toggle controls to move the motorized screen up and down, and turn the projector on and o.

HAL lets you page into this room, ducking the local audio, or overriding it — automatically.

ONE ROOM RAD REMOTE

RAD26 Hotel or Cruise Ship Guest Room Application

is conguration works for private guest rooms in hotels, resorts, and cruise ships.

e television line output connects to the rear of the RAD26, delivering better sound than the TV speakers. In-house video can deliver shows to guests, virtually expanding theater capacity to the entire ship or resort.

A guest can easily plug a laptop, tablet or smartphone into the sound system, using a regular consumer stereo 3.5 mm line plug cable.

On cruise ships, important messages from the captain must be heard in the room speakers. e volume control can be set for minimum and maximum levels so that important pages aren't missed, yet the guest is given volume control.

e amp is in dual 4 W mode to drive the two ceiling speakers. Depending on source material and speaker locations, stereo TV audio can wire to the two line inputs, or as Line-Plus left and right sum to mono. If the TV is mono'ed, the other input could be a local talkback mic.

When a guest's headphones are plugged in, the room speaker ampliers can be optionally muted for the spouse to get some sleep.

RAD26 Massage Studio Application

is conguration provides a masseuse with easy and intuitive selection of either local or central background music sources and volume.

A desktop computer can supply audio to the rear of the RAD26 as a local background music source.

A masseuse can easily bring in a laptop, tablet, or smartphone connecting via a regular consumer stereo 3.5 mm cable to the AUX input. e RAD 26 can be congured so that inserting an AUX plug can override another music source.

Background music can be sent from a HAL multiprocessor elsewhere in the building. Emergency pages are always available and will override a local music selection.

e amplier is set to dual 4 watt mode to drive the left and right speakers above the table.

You can add extra bass by connecting a line output to a powered subwoofer.

RAD26

ONE ROOM RAD REMOTE

RAD26 Rear Panel (attaches to wall mount bracket) RAD26 Rear Wall Mount Bracket (included)

Includes RPI (Remote Power Injector)

e included midspan power injector (not PoE) connects shielded CAT 5e (or better) cables between any HAL and the RAD26 to deliver communications and the extra power needed for the display and ampliers. e RPI is inserted anywhere between the HAL and the RAD26, which can be up to 100 meters (325 feet) apart. An IEC power cable is included.

RAD26 Applications

Hotels with small meeting rooms and spa rooms require local inputs and control, but must also receive paging or music from elsewhere in the building. Many oces and campuses provide meeting and conference rooms for small groups with in-room A/V presentations, but must also receive emergency announcements. Other RADs and DRs can provide these functions, but require more than one shielded CAT 5 cable. e RAD26 provides all the features required in a single RAD.

Optional RB2 Rack Mount Accessory

e RAD26 and a round 4 speaker can mount in a 19 rack with this 3U black-painted metal panel. e RB2 was designed with the EIA 4 loudspeaker “standard” in mind, with a mounting bolt circle diameter of 120 mm, or 4.7 ±0.05.

General RAD Description

e entire family of RAD models interface with HAL for digital conversion at the wall. Each converts analog audio to and/or from 24-bit, 48 kHz digital audio. Shielded CAT 5e (or better) cable and termination transport four digital audio channels – two channels each direction – as well as power, ground and a communications channel, with status indicators at each RAD, HAL, or EXP unit, and in Halogen software. e host HAL auto-checks the CAT 5 crimp and veries audio. All RADs are both “location-aware” and hot-swappable. Light sensors dim the RAD indicators in dark rooms.
