RCF RDNet Control 2

RDNet 4.0 User Manual Rev. A

As shown in the figure, this type of arrangement tends to concentrate most of the energy available on the perpendicular to the array centre, uncovering the lateral areas. Physically bending the array, it is possible to control its polar pattern, ensuring a more uniform sound coverage throughout the listening area. Now, the sound coverage of the considered frequency is much more uniform in the listening area, with a consequent improvement in the sound reproduction quality.

To make a new Curve function:

1) Select with the mouse (click and hold to make an area) all objects to be assigned to the function.

2) Right-click an object and select Functions > New in the menu.

As a rule: RDNet objects are added to a function starting from the first upper left to the last in the bottom right. If objects are properly positioned on the workspace, a new function will be immediately ready for use. Otherwise, it is possible to change the item order by clicking either Up or Down , in order to respect physical subwoofer positions. Available parameters:

Angle: horizontal coverage angle of the entire array. The algorithm will calculate the delay to be applied to each subwoofer to get the coverage required by this value.
