POWER AMPLIFIERS
Powering the loudspeaker drivers is a well-proven DA series Class D amplier module used in many of the Axiom powered loudspeaker products,
with audio quality that is comparable to some of the best analogue Class A-B designs, but with the benet of lower weight and beer than 90%
eciency. The output power is opmised specically to the drive units, sharing 900 was between both woofers and delivering 200 was to the
high frequency band. The DA series amplier delivers superior denion at all frequencies, and very high dynamic range with low distoron even
at maximum level, so your sound remains clean and dynamic even when loud.
SIGNAL PROCESSING
The system processing is based on the CORE DSP plaorm, which has been designed by the PROEL R&D Laboratories using one of the most
advanced SHARC DSP for audio applicaon. It features 40bit, 96kHz oang point resoluon and high quality 24bit AD/DA converters, for a perfect
signal integrity, a dynamic range in excess of 110dB and a superior sonic performance. Thanks to its massive processing power, the CORE plaorm
is capable of providing the most sophiscated algorithms for speaker processing, together with remote control and networking capability.
The PRONET control soware, working on a solid and reliable CANBUS based network protocol, provides an intuive interface for the remote
control of the whole system, with the possibility of eqing, delaying, increasing the protecons and monitoring the status of the amplier.
PRONET
PRONET soware has been developed in collaboraon with sound engineers and sound designers, in order to oer an “easy-to-use” tool to setup
and manage your audio system. With PRONET you can visualize signal levels, monitor internal status and edit all the parameters of each connected
device.
Download the PRONET app from the AXIOM website at hp://www.axiomproaudio.com/ clicking on downloads secon of the product.
The AXIOM acve loudspeaker devices can
be connected in a network and controlled
by the PRONET soware. For the network
connection the PROEL USB2CAN or
USB2CAND converter oponal accessory is
needed. The rst me you connect a device
with the USB2CAN converter, Windows O.S.
will ask you to install the driver les, which
you can find in the Driver folder within
the Pronet applicaon folder (by default is
C:\Program Files\Proel\Pronet\Driver, or if
you changed it <your path>\Driver). Please
refer also to “Installaon” and “Drivers”
paragraphs in the Pronet documentaon.
The PRONET NETWORK is based on a
robust, reliable and fast communicaon
protocol called CANBUS. The devices
in a PRONET NETWORK are connected
together with a “linear bus topology”. The
USB2CAN converter must be connected
to the network input of the rst device,
the network output of the rst device is
connected to the input of the second and
so on. For the network connecons simple
RJ45 cat.5 or cat.6 ethernet cables can
be used (please don’t confuse a ethernet
network with a PRONET network these
are completely dierent and must be fully
separated also both use the same kind of
cable).
The beginning and the end of a PRONET
NETWORK must be terminated. One side is terminated by the USB2CAN converter, the other side must be terminated pressing the TERMINATE
switch on the last device. All devices between these two points must have the TERMINATE switch lied.
Assign the ID number
To work properly in a PRONET network each connected device must have a unique idener number, called ID. By default the USB2CAN PC
controller has ID=0 and there can be only one PC controller. Every other device connected must have its own unique ID equal or greater than 1:
in the network cannot exist two devices with the same ID.
An ID number is assigned automacally to each devices when they are turned on for the rst me connected to a network.
In order to correctly assign a new available ID to each device for working properly in a Pronet network, follow these instrucons:
1. Switch o all the devices.
2. Connect them correctly to the network cables.
3. “TERMINATE” the latest device in the network connecon.
4. Switch on the rst device keep pressed “PRESET” buon on the control panel.
5. Leaving the previous device switched on, repeat the previous operaon on the next device, unl the latest device is turned on.
The “Assign ID” procedure for a device makes the internal network controller to perform two operaons: reset the current ID; search the rst free
ID in the network, starng from ID=1. If no other devices are connected (and powered on), the controller assume ID=1, that is the rst free ID,
otherwise it searches the next one le free.
These operaons ensure that every device has it’s own unique ID, if you need to add a new device to the network you simply repeat the operaon
