d&b audiotechnik has released updates for the ArrayCalc simulation software, R1 Remote control software and R10 Service software, as well as making a firmware update to the E-PAC amplifier.
ArrayCalc v6.7 software is scheduled for release in March 2012, and will add the d&b R1 Remote control software export function. This dispenses with the copy-and-paste process of the amplifier settings from the simulation ArrayCalc software to the R1 Remote control software. Instead, it automatically generates a workspace in an R1 project file, as well as exporting the amplifier settings to an R1 control settings file.
This workflow sequence replaces the manual process entirely.
From virtual optimisation in the ArrayCalc simulation software to the rapid verification of the simulated settings and the fine adjustment in real life on site, this now offers an effective workflow from end-users’ laptops.
The service workflow has also been streamlined, so that d&b R10 Service software from v2 onwards automatically and on-demand searches for the latest available amplifier firmware versions and Remote software updates on the d&b server and downloads them. This removes the need to manually look for any updates on the d&b website.
Although discontinued in 2007, d&b audiotechnik’s E-PAC amplifier is still being supported – currently with a firmware update v4.17.
