Rane Commercial HAL3s DSP Multiprocessor (Discontinued)

Description

Details

The RANE HAL3s is a digital processor for audio systems. This groundbreaking architecture is used for room combining, paging and distributing audio to several zones in an installation. Utilizing Halogen software, even novice users are guided through what used to be complex tasks in just minutes. No intricate matrix mixing or presets are required for room combining and paging. No complex wiring is required to distribute pages and background music to multiple zones. Seamlessly interface HAL to small or large installations with web controls, (no app required) and/or a broad variety of peripheral devices including smart Digital Remotes (DRs), Remote Audio Devices (RADs), portable or rack automixers, small remote amplifiers, and an advanced Paging Station. In addition, the HAL3s Multiprocessor and Halogen software check the status, location, CAT 5e wiring integrity, and that audio is flowing in all peripheral devices, so you know your system is properly connected and ready to go.

HAL System Description

HAL is more than just another DSP drag-and-drop system. It has revolutionized system design and installation. HAL is an expert in room combining, paging and distributed audio systems. This groundbreaking architecture is dimensions beyond any solution in any industry. HAL 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 is required to distribute pages and background music to multiple, even hundreds of zones. Seamlessly interface HAL to your application with web controls and/or a broad variety of peripheral devices including smart Digital Remotes, a 7-inch programmable touchscreen, Remote Audio Devices (RADs), portable or rack automixers, expansion devices for logic, wall sensors, ambient sensing mics, and an advanced Paging Station. Control HAL functions from a web browser in any smartphone, computer or tablet – including iPads, iPhones, Androids, Samsung, etc. The Event Manager can trigger events using time-of-day.

In addition, the HAL 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. Does your DSP troubleshoot the cable install for you and offer a “Get on the Plane” indicator showing you that the installers have finished their job? It should.

Features

Features

Unit Size: 1U, 1.75"H x 19"W x 8.25"D (4.4 cm x 48.3 cm x 20.9 cm)
Unit Weight: 5 lb (2.2 kg)
Shipping Weight: 9 lb (3.8 kg)
New analog Mic/Line-Plus input stage adds support for 2 microphone inputs, with or without 48 V phantom power.
Additional RAD port: one DR port becomes a RAD port. This makes the HAL3s a 6-input, 10-output DSP (the HAL3 was 4 x 8). More audio channels means more applications solved.
10 dB quieter: the dynamic range is improved 10 dB — now with 108 dB dynamic range!
Best of all, the new HAL3s has the same price as the HAL3 was.
