A HAL1x Multiprocessor supports 16 in x 16 out audio, with 8 in x 8 out on balanced analog connections, and another 8 in x 8 out through RADs. It is unique among the HAL Multiprocessors because it carries an Expansion Bus, which can increase the I/O up to 512 in x 512 out by adding up to 32 daisy-chained Expanders to a single HAL1x. A few to hundreds of more gain-sharing mic inputs are possible with AM Automixers. HAL1x's DSP brain has over 5 times the DSP horsepower of the popular Rane RPM 88.

The Terminal 1010x takes the DSP Experience to the next level with an intuitive front-panel that enables users to control 10 analog balanced inputs for Mic/Line/+48V and 10 balanced outputs. There are also 6 flexible RAD Plus PoE ports to connect breakout boxes and wall plate remote controls and 4 Universal GPIO logic ports for external devices such as alarm systems, sensors, lights, projectors, etc. There is also a slot for an optional DANTE™ 32x32 card for network connectivity.

The DANTEx is an optional plug-in card for the Rane Terminal 1010x that allows system designers to integrate a Terminal 1010x processor with Dante-equipped microphones, amplifiers, breakout boxes, mixing consoles and other supported devices. It provides 32 inputs and 32 outputs of Dante digital audio with supported samples rates of 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz and 96kHz. Built-in sample rate conversion (SRC) converts the Dante sample rate to the fixed 48kHz sample rate required by the Terminal 1010x.

The Dante interface is managed using Audinate’s Dante Controller software. Dante controller is a free software application that enables the user to route and configure devices on a Dante network.

The EXP3x is an 8-channel analog output & DSP expander for the HAL1x (required for operation). The EXP3x is an 8-channel analog output & DSP expander for the HAL1x (required for operation). Two RAD ports make it a 4-input, 12-output audio device — depending on which two RADs are connected. Thus, 32 daisy-chained EXP3x Expanders provide 256 discrete zone outputs maximum, including output compression, parametric EQ, two levels of paging and background music. Also, eight logic outputs and six DR remote ports are included. Therefore, 32 daisy-chained EXP3x Expanders would provide 64 RAD ports, 192 DR ports and 256 logic outputs. The dedicated DSP for each of the eight analog outputs offers two signal processing choices independently selectable per output. When you need background music, paging and emergency paging on an output, select the Zone Output processing set. This provides a Zone Processor block, and an Emergency Zone in addition to a Compressor and a 5-band parametric EQ with high- and low-cut filters. When Line Output is selected, the compressor and parametric EQ are available without the zone processing block and emergency paging blocks.

The EXP5x is a 12 Mic/Line/Line-Plus input & DSP expander for the HAL1x. It also supplies four DR ports, useful for adding source selection and/or volume control remote controls. The EXP5x is a 12 Mic/Line/Line-Plus input & DSP expander for the HAL1x. It also supplies four DR ports, useful for adding source selection and/or volume control remote controls. Each of the 12 inputs independently supports either dynamic mic, 48V phantom mic, +4 dBu line-level, or Rane’s Line-Plus input. Line-Plus accepts -10 dBV unbalanced Left/Right Monoed together on the “+” and “–” ports, respectively. For stereo unbalanced sources, Line-Plus allows connecting the stereo RCA left tip conductor to the “+” terminal, the RCA right tip to the “–” terminal, and both RCA shields to the EXP5x Euroblock ground. Select Line-Plus in Halogen and you get a properly monoed audio channel.

The Rane EXP7x Expander for the HAL1x provides eight channels of full-featured, drag and drop Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC). Each channel of AEC can be added to any HAL1x system input and route to any Halogen DSP block, including the gain-sharing automixer, manual mixer, regular Room Combine block, or Conference Room Combine block. The Rane EXP7x Expander for the HAL1x provides eight channels of full-featured, drag and drop Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC). Each channel of AEC can be added to any HAL1x system input and route to any Halogen DSP block, including the gain-sharing automixer, manual mixer, regular Room Combine block, or Conference Room Combine block. Chain up to 32 EXP7x units to a HAL1x for 256 assignable AEC channels. Because EXP7x AEC channels are not associated with a particular hardware input, preset recall can re-assign an AEC resource across inputs / rooms as required. Drag and drop AEC supports the typical one-AEC-per-microphone configuration. With optimum acoustics, mic and loudspeaker placement, or with rarely used mics (such as audience mics) it allows mixing more than one mic into a single AEC channel, significantly reducing cost.

The EXP1x adds eight RAD ports to a HAL1x via the Expansion Bus. The EXP1x requires a HAL1x to operate. The EXP1x adds eight RAD ports to a HAL1x via the Expansion Bus. The EXP1x requires a HAL1x to operate. DR remotes are also supported on any RAD port, so the EXP1x also adds additional DR remotes. The graphic below shows most of the range of RADs and DRs that connect with shielded CAT 5e cable (or better). 512 inputs and 512 outputs are possible if 32 EXP1x Expanders are cascaded to a HAL1x.

The EXP2x is an input/output expander that enables the HAL1x to send 32 and receive 32 audio channels from other Dante™ devices. Use the EXP2x to interface a HAL1x System with a Dante network. Applications abound in houses of worship, installed sound, performing arts venues, education and corporate environments. The EXP2x allows connecting a Dante network between facilities or multiple independent HAL1x systems. Built-in sample rate converters support 48 kHz or 96 kHz sample rates on the Dante network.
