Page 4: Introduction
User Manual - Ray-On+ series 1. Introduction Ray-On+ column loudspeakers ensure perfect speech intelligibility and optimal acoustical comfort, even in noisy and reverberant venues. They are based on the DGRC (Digital & Geometric Radiation Control) principle patented by Active Audio. Compared with a classic sound system in which each loudspeaker is controlled independently, the DGRC method makes it possible to decrease the number of channels to be controlled, thereby enhancing economic efficiency. -
Page 5: Positioning
User Manual - Ray-On+ series 2. Positioning The most important parameter for the installation of Ray-On+ loudspeaker is its mounting height because the range of the column directly depends on it. Installing the column higher will increase the range, but will affect SPL. On the contrary, installing the column lower will increase SPL, but decreases its range. - Page 6 User Manual - Ray-On+ series Mounting height Minimal Nominal Maximal Standing audience 1.40m 1.90m 2.40m Ray-On R80+ Seated audience 1.00m 1.50m 2.00m Standing audience 1.40m 2.10m 2.60m Ray-On R120+ Seated audience 1.00m 1.70m 2.20m Standing audience 1.60m 2.20m 2.70m Ray-On R230+ Seated audience 1.20m 1.80m...

Page 10: Using The Ray-On+ Control Software
User Manual - Ray-On+ series 4.4. Using the Ray-On+ Control software The Ray-On+ control software gives access to the following functions: • input selection: Dante, Analog or Dante/Analog fallback • general output volume • optimized equalization for speech or music The Ray-On+ control software does not include Dante routing functionality. - Page 11 User Manual - Ray-On+ series 1. Network interface: Select the network corresponding to your Dante network. If you have several network interfaces, the software will select your default network interface. 2. Snapshot: Export a snapshot of your installation as a csv file by clicking on this button. The csv file contains the settings of all the devices detected on the network. 3. Device Name: The device name displayed corresponds to the device name defined in Dante Controller: Device view -> Device config -> Rename Device.
- Page 12 User Manual - Ray-On+ series 4.4.2 Device settings A click on a Ray-On+ box leads to the settings screen for that specific column. All the parameters of the column can be changed within that screen. Figure 9 : Ray-On+ control software: column settings screen 1. Device Name: The device name displayed corresponds to the device name defined in Dante Controller: Device view -> Device config -> Rename Device.
- Page 13 User Manual - Ray-On+ series 5. Model selection: The model selection helps you remember which model of Ray-On+ you are setting up. 6. Input selection: Select input you want to use. • Analog Input: Use the balanced analog input. • Dante Input: Use the Dante input. • Dante / Analog fallback: If the Dante signal level is higher than -61dBFS, the device switches to the Dante input.
- Page 14 User Manual - Ray-On+ series 4.4.3 Coverage prediction Using the DGRC principle, RayOn columns generate a wave front corresponding to a desired coverage/directivity. But this directivity is fixed ; it cannot be ad- justed as in a DSP steerable column such as StepArray. Figure 10 : Ray-On+ control software: Modelling screen 1. Model selection: Select the Ray-On+ Model you want to use. 2.
