    ICLX. IC Live X arrays are composed of multiple ICLX cabinets, up to 12 tall, and the ICLX is the unit of length for Congratulations on your purchase of a Renkus-Heinz ICLX IC Live X arrays. The ICLXL and ICLLX are single modules Series Digitally Steerable Loudspeaker.
  • Page 6 ICLive X versions and models – Parametric high and low shelf IC Live X modules are available in either Fixed or Mobile – Parametric high and low pass filters. versions. The versions have different input configurations – User delay up to 358 ms. optimized for use in their respective applications.
  • Page 7 Mobile Version Connections All connections on the mobile version are made on the back panel of the loudspeaker • Analog/AES Input on male XLR connector. Analog and AES-3 digital audio inputs share this connector. Input selection from the control panel or in RHAON II.
  • Page 8 Fixed Install Connections All connections on the fixed install version are made inside the input pocket on the upper panel. Remove the pocket cover plate to access the connections. The pocket cover has a cable exit slot and should be reinstalled after the connections are made.
  • Page 9 Amplifier Control Panel The control panel of the amplifier allows selection of the input, Analog, AES or Dante, recall of presets and control of the volume. It also has a signal present/limit indicator and power/fault indicator. • SIG/LIMIT LED will show green to indicate signal present.

  • Page 15 Fixed Install Interconnections The fixed install versions require the same interconnections, but they are implemented on different connectors optimized for permanent installation. Interconnecting -RN units • Analog, or AES signal can be looped by paralleling the wires at the Phoenix terminals.
  • Page 16 Fixed Install Interconnections, continued Interconnecting -RD units • Analog or AES signal (if desired) can be looped by paralleling the wires at the Phoenix terminals. (Note, not shown on diagram, see -RN diagram for Analog/ AES looping) • AC mains power looping is not available, each cabinet in an array must have its own power cable.
  • Page 17 Fixed Install Interconnections, continued Interconnecting -RD units with a redundant network The Dante units can be configured for redun- dant networking. Two completely separate Ethernet networks are installed in parallel. Network redundancy is only achieved with separate physical networks. Implementations using two V-LANS achieve only cable redun- dancy.
  • Page 18 Designing and Beam steering ICLive X Arrays The ICLive X series offers the system designer tremendous flexibility in array design, balancing directivity, output and cost. Here we’ll cover the basics of the decisions involved in designing an ICLive X array. For a full discussion of the science of beam steering and steerable line arrays, please refer to the Iconyx Certification materials.
  • Page 19 RHAON & Beam steering Workflow The ICLive X Series is controlled and beam steered with RHAON II software. The following instructions assume an understanding of RHAON II software and beam steering work flows. If you are unfamiliar with RHAON II, the user manual is accessible from the RHAON II Help menu.

Once added to the Active Zone single ICLive X loudspeakers or Array Groups can be beam steered. U.R.G.O Beam Steering To begin beam steering, click on the Beam icon in the The ICLive X Series uses a new beam-steering algorithm control panel for the loudspeaker or array to be steered.

Once the simulation parameters have been entered the U.R.G.O. workflow is as follows. 2. Read the angle in the Beam Parameters pane on the left side of the Beam Steering window.

Select the beam size with the closest matching HF array to the front of the audience area. As in the angle, for our example a beam angle of 15 degrees.
