CONFIGURING THECABINET DSP OPTIONS
From the buttons below the display on the cabinet’s back panel you are able to configure the Basic adjustment
functionsof theinternalDSP. Depending onthemodel,youcanfindthefollowingconfigurations:
Note:
You must apply the desiredconfiguration in eachonecabinet. Thisis donevia the buttons locatedon the back panel
of thecabinet and requires electrical power towork.

Who is it for?
Usersof Self poweredDSPincorporatedLynx ProAudioCabinetswheretheuser hasrequestedthecabinetsbe
supplied with the Ethernet Module kit.
What is it for?
Obtain detailed informationof cabinetbehaviourandmonitor thecabinet/sin real time.You canchangethe
preset, gain, mute, polarity and phase.Youcan also activate the air absorption compensation and select the
«SOLO»mode.
How does it work?
Via Ethernet (cable or wireless). Once installed, the O.C.S. softwareautomatically detects all the cabinets
connected to the network and displays them in the O.C.S. windowon the users PC.
What does it show?
As well as displayingthe cabinet model and IP address theO.C.S will be monitoring in real time andtheuser will
beable to viewRMS levels, Input clip,power moduletemperature, compression levels,air absorption
compensationandcabinetangulation.

ordertoconfigureyournetwork.
Normally, Ip valueswill besomethinglike this:

Wherexxx will be a number between 1and 254
Accept to quit the network settings and again to apply
them at thenext screen. Depending onthe Windows Ver-
sion, you will be asked to reboot or not.
Oncethe Computer isconfigured with a static IP proceed
to connect to the line array system through the O.M.S.
(onlinemonitoringsystem) software.
Open the O.M.S Software and from the Initial Screen
chooseETHERNET.

RAINBOW – ACOUSTICAL PREDICTION SOFTWARE
Thanks to the RAINBOW software, you will be able to “virtually” determine the acoustical response of one or
various cabinets at the same time.
Basedon polar responsemeasurements,taken
meticulously with a360º coverage both vertically
andhorizontally, the Rainbowsoftware isable to
calculate the SPLresponse including the
interaction between them taking into account the
magnitudeand phaseresponse, in orderto enable
the user to correct cancellationsand even to
createthem if theacoustical design sorequires.
Rainbowisveryeasy to use and offers avery
intuitivedesign,multitoolinterfaceandon-line
updatabledatabase.
TheRainbowsoftware hasbeendesignedbyand
for sound technicians. Itsaim is to help installers
andusers of Lynx products.
This software is able to import WMF Vector Files
with technical drawingsand insert them directly
intotheprediction windowandthusenablingreal
measurementpredictions.
Thisalsohelpstodetermine deadzonesand
obtain themaximum performance from eachof the
cabinetsinstalled.
