QSC Audio RAVE 160 Benutzerhandbuch

A RAVE network routes audio sig-

nals in groups or groups of 8 chan-

nels, as the group diagram of a

sample RAVE network illustrates

at right. Behind the removable

panel on the face of a RAVE unit

are two pairs of hexadecimal

switches (see the illustration below) for

assigning network addresses to the groups.

The left two switches assign the network

address for the left group, which would be

channels 1 through 8 on a RAVE 80, 81, 160,

or 161, or the transmitting channels (1

through 8) of a RAVE 88 or 188. Similarly,

the right pair of switches assign the network address for the

group of channels on the right, i.e., channels 9 through 16 on

a RAVE 80, 81, 160, or 161, or the receiving channels (1 through

8) of a RAVE 88 or 188.

To make a receiving group of a RAVE unit receive a group of

audio channels from a transmitting unit, set the receiving

group’s switches to the same settings as the transmitting

group.

•

For transmission and reception, there are eight possible network channel numbers, from 01 to 08. For

reception of non-RAVE CobraNet data, there are an additional 247 possible network channel numbers,

from  09 to FF.

•

Setting the switches to 00 shuts off the group, telling it to do no network transmission or reception.

One good way to see how the channels work is to have

the RAVE network operating, and have one or more

RAVE units transmitting (even if you don’t have any

audio signals) on any channel(s) from 01 to 08. On a

receiving unit attached to the network, flip through

the channels 01 through 08. As you hit the channels

that are being transmitted, you’ll see that the signal

intensity LEDs glow (dimly, if there’s little or no audio

signal, or brightly, if the audio signal levels are high

enough), and are dark whenever you’re dialed in to

a vacant channel.
