Introduction

The RAVE 520uz provides the digital audio transport and signal processing needed to distribute audio throughout an integrated functioning system. In conjunction with QSCon- trol.net software, the RAVE 520uz enables the user to design, test and deploy professional audio reinforcement and distribution systems ranging in size from one to hun- dreds of channels.

Astandard Windows computer is the principle user-inter- face for controlling the overall RAVE/QSControl system. However, the RAVE 520uz also offers a front panel interface for accessing critical functions.

A single QSControl.net server computer can support several clients running QSC's latest Venue Manager software. Thus, the sound system can be operated via several computers, roaming wireless laptops, tablets, etc., all at the same time, from anywhere a connection to the QSControl.net network is available.

The QSControl.net network can also be managed from a sin- gle computer running both the client and the server. Once all RAVE devices in a system are configured, a computer is no longer required on that system’s network. All basic func- tions of the RAVE 520uz continue to operate with or without a control computer connected to the network.

The configurable DSP engine provides all of the functions necessary to handle the input portion of a signal chain, such as delays, equalization, compression/limiting, etc. Audio output is exclusively via CobraNet .

Audio enters a RAVE 520uz either through analog universal inputs (mic to line level with software-selectable +48V phantom power) or from CobraNet source devices such as QSC's line of RAVE digital audio routers. Any combination of 16 CobraNet channels (selected from up to 4 bundles of 32 channels) can be routed into the 24 x 24 DSP engine. Any or all of the 24 DSP channels can also be routed to up to 32 CobraNet channels on the network.
