Introduction
Convenient wireless control is pervasive in today's
world and showing up more frequently in the world
of pro audio. The application and benefits of wireless
control of sound systems are many.
Obvious choices are the ability to tweak a sound sys-
tem while sitting in the middle of, or wandering about
a church, theater, or auditorium without wire tethers.
Another is the value and convenience of setting
the loudness and EQ while standing in each zone of a
multi-zone system.
Or for live sound applications being able to setup
stage monitors while standing next to the musician.
Since Rane's RPM series of programmable proces-
sors use Ethernet to communicate with laptops and
tablet PCs, all it takes to cut the cables is low-cost, off
the shelf wireless adaptors and Access Points.
If you already have a laptop or tablet PC it's a small
step to go wireless. Simply pop a wireless adaptor in
your laptop (if it doesn't have one built-in) and toss
a wireless Access Point into your tool box and you're
ready to go. It's just that easy.
