The following sections describe, in order, how to configure and use the Intonato 24 processor.

  • Page 16: Selecting The Speaker Layout Type �������������������������������������������14 Configuring The Network Using Netsetter

    Using the Intonato 24 Control App Selecting the Speaker Layout Type The first step in configuring the Intonato 24 is to select the speaker layout that suits the application: 1. When connecting to the Intonato 24 for the first time, the control app will automatically navigate to the Speaker Layout screen.

  • Page 17: About Speaker Layouts, Profiles, And Scenes

    Using the Intonato 24 Control App About Speaker Layouts, Profiles, and Scenes Profiles and scenes are stored to the speaker layout type selected during configuration. Up to 30 profiles can be stored to each of the six speaker layout types, and up to 30 scenes can be stored to each of the 30 profiles (see illustration below).

  • Page 18: About The Aux Outputs

    Using the Intonato 24 Control App About the Aux Outputs When speaker layout 2, 4, or 6 is selected, Intonato 24 output channels 23 and 24 are configured to provide a stereo auxiliary feed, which can be connected to an external headphone amplifier for recording sessions (for example, during voiceover or ADR recording sessions in an editing facility where a mixing console is not available).

  • Page 19: Configuring Inputs

    Using the Intonato 24 Control App Configuring Inputs Once the speaker layout type has been selected, it’s time to configure the inputs for the application.

  • Page 26: Calibrating The System

    Using the Intonato 24 Control App Calibrating the System Once configuration is complete, the next step is to run the auto-calibration process. When used in conjunction with the included measurement microphone, a monitoring system can be automatically calibrated to the production environment. The auto-calibration process starts by detecting level differences between speakers in the system and adjusting levels to match.

  • Page 27: User Eq Refinement Recommendations

    Using the Intonato 24 Control App User EQ Refinement Recommendations Low Frequencies After performing auto calibration, we recommend evaluating the low-frequency performance of the system by listening to material with which you are familiar. While the system is designed to deliver flat low-frequency response in the room, different room sizes require differing compensation.
  • Page 28 Using the Intonato 24 Control App Balancing Subwoofers – Bass Management and LFE Levels When using bass management and LFE channels, it’s important to balance the levels between the two properly. Up to four subwoofers may be used for bass management—extending the low- frequency response of the speaker system.
  • Page 29 Using the Intonato 24 Control App 3. Next, play some source material that includes LFE signal, and ensure the LFE signal is passing through the system. Select Edit Settings from the Main User Menu, then adjust the Input Trim control of the LFE channel to produce the desired SPL in the room. Repeat for any additional source LFE channels.

  • Page 30: The System Calibration Screen

    Using the Intonato 24 Control App The System Calibration Screen From the System Calibration screen, individual speaker levels, time-of arrival delay offsets, and room EQ can be automatically calibrated and/or manually adjusted for the monitoring environment.

  • Page 78: Configuring The Clock Source

    Configuring the Clock Source Configuring the Clock Source The Intonato 24 can be clocked via the internal crystal oscillator, AES input, Word Clock input, or BLU link bus. To use BLU link, a 48 or 96 kHz sample rate must be used. In order for BLU link to be used simultaneously with AES Input A and B, the Intonato 24 and AES source device must be synchronized —via word clock or AES—at a 48 or 96 kHz sample rate and within a maximum tolerance of ±50 ppm.

  • Page 79: Clocking Via The Internal Clock

    Configuring the Clock Source Clocking via the Internal Clock When using only the analog input connections, the Internal clock source setting should be selected. Note that AES Input A and B are not available in this configuration, however, AES Input C can still be used as long as SRC is enabled.

  • Page 80: Clocking Via Aes

    Configuring the Clock Source Clocking via AES When using the AES Input A and B connections without a house clock, the AES clock source setting should be selected—the clock will be derived from the signal connected to AES Input A, channel 1. Note that the analog inputs can still be used in this configuration if required.

  • Page 81: Clocking Via Word Clock

    Configuring the Clock Source Clocking via Word Clock When using the AES inputs along with a house clock, Word Clock should be selected for the clock source setting. Note that the analog inputs can still be used in this configuration if required. If using digital devices which operate using a clock that differs from that connected to AES Input A and B, such devices can be connected to AES Input C as long as the SRC feature is enabled.

  • Page 82: Using Blu Link

    Using BLU link Using BLU link BLU link is a proprietary, point-to-point digital audio bus found on many HARMAN products. It carries 256 channels of audio at 48 kHz or 128 channels at 96 kHz, both at 24 bits. The physical connections are made with Cat5e or higher Ethernet cables.
  • Page 83 Using BLU link BLU link Mastership BLU link requires one device to provide the master clock for all other devices on the bus. This is accomplished using priorities. Each connected BLU link device is given a “priority” value between 0 and 255, with 255 being the highest. The BLU link protocol auto-negotiates with all connected devices to determine which device has the highest priority, and the device that wins becomes the master clock for the BLU link bus.
  • Page 84 Using BLU link BLU link Port LED Indicators Each BLU link port has LEDs that indicate the following: Both Yellow LEDs On This indicates the device is the BLU link master, and it is providing the clock for all other devices on the BLU link bus. The green LEDs light to indicate the port has established a link with the BLU link bus.

    Networking Networking This section of the manual provides basic information on network settings, network security, and network troubleshooting.

  • Page 92: Network Security

    Networking Network Security Careful planning should be made before placing an Intonato 24 on a network that is accessible by the public—for example, direct access to the device using an unsecured/weakly secured wireless network or a network jack in a public area. It is highly recommended that the Intonato 24 be placed on a protected, isolated network that does not have any connection to the public.
  • Page 93 Networking 3. Check IP Addresses and Network Settings Ensure the control device’s network connection is configured for DHCP, and that it doesn’t have a static IP or Auto-IP (169.254.xx.yy) address. Check the IP addresses of the router, control device, and Intonato 24 and ensure they all have the same Network ID. Once all Network IDs are confirmed to match, try reconnecting with the JBL Intonato control app.

Once an IP address is assigned, the HiQnet NetSetter application can be used to manually configure Intonato 24 network settings if required for the application. Configuring the Network Using NetSetter NetSetter is a Windows-compatible software tool that detects HiQnet devices on a network and allows their network settings to be reconfigured in real time from one central location.
