Solution Overview
Requirement
Notes
BGM selection and volume control
An ARC-3 wall panel is installed in each of the four zones.
Two paging microphones
The mics are connected to the xIn 4. Page signals transmitted via Dante
network to Radius 12x8 EX.
Zone selection from each page mic
An ARC-SW4e is mounted in close proximity to each page mic for
destination zone selection.
Ambient level control of music in 4 zones
Radius 12x8 EX programmed with Symetrix proprietary SPL algorithms.
Secure super-user control screen
Composer generated Windows file for use by adminstrative staff only.
Fire/emergency audio MUTE ALL
Third-party alarm system logic wired to a Radius 12x8 EX external control
input triggers a Mute All state.
Mobile BYOD browser based control of
music source and volume in each zone
Radius 12x8 EX embedded ARC-Web server is programmed from
Composer to control source selection and volume in parallel with
ARC-SW4e wall panels in each zone.
Comprehensive Loudspeaker
Management
Radius 12x8 EX programmed from Composer with Speaker Manager and
Compressor modules.
Automatic ducking
Radius 12x8 EX programmed from Composer with Ducker modules in all 4
zones.
