RCF’s RDNet version 3.1 gives users direct control of the onboard high-pass filter along with a new Shape Designer and a Bass Shaper function. The interface is newly enhanced for faster adjustments and is visually improved with high contrast colors and intuitive control for touch screen devices. RDNet 3.1 also takes control on the internal High-Pass filter on each cabinet, improving system flexibility and simplifying satellite-to-subwoofer phase alignment. New views like the single channel equalization views have also been added. RDNet 3.1 not only controls loudspeakers, it can also be paired with digital matrixes or amplifiers. Each device has onboard DSP to address specific presets or modifications of parameters, to a single object or group. A network user can change level, delay, EQ and other settings, including setting advanced subwoofer configurations.

Yamaha announced the availability of V3 firmware for Rivage PM Series Digital Audio Systems. The upgrade promises to give engineers more flexible operation along with faster setup and control. Highlights include a new noise-reduction DaNSe plug-in, improved routing choices (such as the ability to route MIX bus and MATRIX signals back to the input channels) and generally enhanced flexibility. Cascade connection via SUB IN is now possible, making higher input capacities available for large-scale applications. Other refinements make it easier to manage the many parameters available in the Rivage PM series.

Designed for small-to-medium tours and venues, the new HALO-B is the third system in the HALO line array family, sitting between HALO-A and HALO-C in both physical size and overall system output. This two-way, reflex-loaded line array element features dual 8-inch LF drivers and four 1-inch HF drive units. It is built on the same “maximum headroom” design principles as the flagship HALO-A, to ensure consistent performance across all SPL levels and consistent horizontal dispersion patterns across the operating frequency band.
