Rane HAL1x Expandable Multiprocessor (Discontinued)

This groundbreaking architecture is dimensions beyond any other solution. HAL1x easily guides even novice users through what used to be complex tasks in just minutes. No intricate matrix mixing or presets are required for room combining and paging. No virtual wiring required to distribute pages and background music to multiple zones. Seamlessly interface HAL1x to your application with a broad variety of peripheral devices including smart Digital Remotes, Remote Audio Devices (RADs), portable or rack automixers, audio I/O and logic expansion devices, wall sensors, ambient sensing mics, small remote amplifiers, and an advanced Paging Station.

In addition, the HAL1x Multiprocessor and Halogen software check the status, location, CAT 5 wiring integrity, and that audio is flowing in all peripheral devices, so you know your system is properly connected and ready to go. HAL is more than just another DSP drag-and-drop system. It has revolutionized system design and installation.

The HAL1x Expansion Bus supports up to 32 daisy-chained Expanders in any combination. The Expansion Bus requires shielded CAT 5e (or better) cable with RJ-45 connectors. The bus supports 512 channels in and 512 out, although designers need not worry about wiring channels along the bus—this is automatically done within Halogen software. The Resources window in Halogen displays the number of channels in use and updates as you draw the audio wiring. Latency hops on the bus are 750 nanoseconds per hop. Thus, daisy-chaining 32 Expanders provides a maximum latency of 22.4 microseconds.

• 16 in x 16 out - 8x8 analog & 8x8 digital (RAD ports)
• Up to 4 RADs (without EXP1x), up to 260 RADs (with 32 EXP1s)
• Up to 12 Digital Remotes (without EXPs), up to 268 (with EXPs)
• Four logic inputs, Two relay outputs (more with DR4 or DR5)
