Any Managed Network Switch will work as long as it configured for Professional use and configured to allow Audio Video based on Dante requirements except for a small change in the QoS settings.

– The QoS/DSCP priority for Dolby AES67 is slightly different from Dante (Shown on last 2 pages of attached document)

–  HP/Aruba Switches can also be configured in a similar method

JBL has made available FIR tunings for select Control Contractor Series loudspeakers. The FIR filters optimise both frequency response and phase response to a finer degree of precision than has typically been possible with standard IIR “parameter-based” filters. Additionally, these FIR filters were designed to meet JBL Pro’s new V6 FIR tuning standard.

V6 Tuning Features:

• Equalisation to a neutral frequency response
• Improved linearised phase response above 300 Hz
• Allows users to start with a known flat voicing for further EQing to the needs of the install
• Improved signal coherence
• Matched gain to allow for smooth system tuning and subwoofer integration

V6 FIR Tunings Available For Loudspeaker Models:

• COL600 Slim Column Loudspeaker
• COL800 Slim Column Loudspeaker
• SLP12/T Sleek Low Profile Loudspeaker
• SLP14/T Sleek Low Profile Loudspeaker
• GSF3 Full Range Loudspeaker
• GSF6 Full Range Loudspeaker
• Control 68HP Pendant Loudspeaker

This file provides a already designed template for Crown CDi Series (DriveCore) for a 4 Zone Router/Amp which is controlled through Motion Control. This allows the end user to have a simple system that can be controlled by a iPad or iPhone. Within the template is a iPad and iPhone design, these elements can be edited to fit the needs of the site. If you need to upgrade to a larger or different amp you will need to reassign the parameters; this can easily be done through Ctrl (Hold) + Click on the Object, drag it to the control panel and drop. This will assign the new parameter.

A Contrio EC4-BV is also in the design and assigned for 4 Zones of Volume Control and Mute.
