Renkus-Heinz DC12/2 Quick Start Manual

DC12/2 Quick Start Guide
Congratulations on the purchase of the Renkus-Heinz DC12/2 Digitally Steerable Column Array! This document intends to
guide the user through the set up and configuration work-flow of the DC12/2 and its companion Smart Phone App, RH:APP
(available on Android, and iOS). Renkus-Heinz has made serious efforts to ensure this product is easy to use, and simple to
set up. This was accomplished by evaluating all of the complex interactions that take place between the acoustic space and the
DC12/2 and boiled them down into a few simple decisions in order to generate beam-steered coverage through RH:APP, re-
sulting in consistently great results with minimal time and effort.
1. Mount the loudspeaker to the wall or other surface with the included mounting
bracket. Note: For best performance Renkus-Heinz recommends that the
DC12/2 be mounted between 4-12 ft./1.2-3.7 m above the finish floor to the
bottom of the loudspeaker. Screw or bolt the wall bracket to the wall using
anchors appropriate to the mounting surface. Do not mount solely to drywall/
gypsum board, find a stud or use other reinforcement. Screw the speaker half
of the bracket to the DC12/2, then use the included bolts to secure the
DC12/2 to the wall mount bracket. Select the desired horizontal aiming angle
and tighten the bolts to lock it in. ***
2. If the DC12/2 is not intended to be wall mounted, unscrew the use the includ-
ed M10 threaded pole-cup adapter and mount the DC12/2 on a speaker
stand, or on top of a subwoofer.
3. Through the Google Play Store, or the App Store install RH:APP on an An-
droid or iOS device.
4. Prior to opening RH:APP, go to the mobile device's Wi-Fi Settings to connect
to the built in Wi-Fi access point in the DC12/2. The default SSID for the
DC12/2 is "RH-DC12-2-XX-XX" (XX-XX will be the last 4 characters of the
DC12/2's MAC address) and the default password is "Renkus-Heinz."
5. After connecting to the Wi-Fi access point in the DC12/2 open RH:APP. If
connection to the DC12/2 is unsuccessful, or there is no DC12/2 to connect
to, RH:APP will prompt the user to connect to a DC12/2 before using the app.

If there is no connection to a DC12/2 RH:APP will give the user the
option to close the app, or explore the app in a "Demo Mode".
6. RH:APP will look for a firmware update automatically upon connection, if there
is a firmware update, follow the on screen prompts to update your firmware.
7. RH:APP has 4 main tabs: Mounting, Height, Coverage, and Audio, which you
can freely swap between using the tab buttons on the bottom of the app.

Mounting: Select the mounting conditions of the DC12/2

Height: Select height of the DC12/2 above finished floor
