1. 4 - System Architect Control Software

The System Architect software provides control and monitoring of the DriveRack 4800 and 4820 devic- es. Multiple units can be networked and controlled together along with other products from Harman Professional. It is the only software package that allows complete control of all the links in the signal chain from within a single application. It enables flagship products from best-in-class brands to act as one collective consciousness, and makes real the benefits only a truly unified system can bring.

Understanding the System Architect software is the key to getting full functionality from the DriveRack 4800 and 4820 products.
