Options open, now and in the future
NomadLink is dedicated exclusively
to monitoring and control of
Lab.gruppen amplifiers. It works
alongside your existing drive chain
DSP units and signal distribution
systems - and their software control
programs, if any - without rendering
anything obsolete. You do not have
to alter, reprogram, reconfigure or
replace anything to accommodate
NomadLink .
®
When you invest in the FP+ Series
and NomadLink, you are not locked
into one proprietary system, format, or
fixed AD/DA conversion standard. You
are free to continue using your existing
inventory of drive DSP units as well as
your digital or analog snake systems.
You can upgrade as you please,
whenever costs and technological
advances suit your particular needs.
You can be confident that your
FP+ Series amplifiers and NomadLink
®
network will remain fully compatible
at each stage of your future upgrading
program.
Details View
This screen allows users to match their
customized DeviceControl configurations to
the physical amplifiers, and quickly identify any
incompatible amp setups. It also contains the
Power and Sensitivity Calculator, which allows
users to optimize an amp channel to a particular
speaker load or configuration by entering
specific impedance, output power and sensitivity
parameters. This screen can be printed for use as
an on-site amplifier setup guide.
Device View
This screen automatically identifies all of the
amplifiers detected by DeviceControl in one
or more subnets, including model number,
serial number and physical position within the
subnet. Power on or off status can be set for
each amplifier, and individual amplifiers can be
labeled on this screen for specific applications
(e.g. stage R subs, stage L array HF, etc.).
Channel View / Group View Modes
In the Channel View screen, individual amp
channels are assigned to a group matrix, and can
be renamed as needed. In the Group View screen,
each group is represented by a single status
block that displays all critical information needed
to monitor the amplifiers within that group. The
status block includes a real time VU meter with
peak-hold feature, mute / solo status of grouped
and individual amplifiers, as well as amp fault and
warning indicators. Groups can be renamed to
match specific applications.
