1. Introduction

StepArray+ column speakers ensure perfect speech intelligibility and optimal

acoustic comfort, even in noisy and reverberant venues. They are based on

the DGRC (Digital & Geometric Radiation Control) principle patented by Active

Audio.

Compared with a classic sound system in which each loudspeaker is controlled

independently, the DGRC method makes it possible to decrease the number of

channelstobecontrolled,therebyenhancingeconomicefciency.

StepArray+ also allows the use of existing network cables and helps to achieve

signicantsavingsinwiring,withupto64channelsonasingleEthernetcable.

StepArray+ combines the features of DanteTM and StepArray to achieve ever

higherlevelsofefciencyandexibility.

The StepArray+ range includes 6 models of column speakers, from 1.50m to

4.50m high.

3. Assembling

1. Remove the back

plate of the amplifier

module.

2. Place the amplifier

module at the top of

the passive column.

3. Secure the amplifier

module using the

supplied M8 nut.

4. After wiring, close

the connection box by

mounting the back

plate.

5. StepArray+ control software

The StepArray+ control software is available for Windows and OSX operating

systems. Installers can be found on the supplied USB key or on Active Audio’s

website by following this link: http://www.activeaudio.fr/ downloads.

5.1. System requirements

Processor 1Ghz or better

Memory 512Mbyte of RAM

Network Standard wired Ethernet network interface (100Mbps or Gigabit).

Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) Ethernet interfaces are not supported

Operating System Windows 7 SP1 or newer Mac OS X 10.7.5 or newer

5.2. Installation on Windows

Start the installer package by double-clicking on it, then follow the instructions.

5.4. Using the StepArray+ software

The StepArray+ control software gives access to the following functions:

• input selection: Dante or analog input

• general output volume

• steering parameters for directivity control

The StepArray+ control software does not include

Dante routing functionality. When using Dante to

transmit audio, you will need the Dante Controller

software to assign Dante channels to StepArray+ co-

lumns.

Dante Controller is available free of charge from the

Audinate website: https://www.audinate.com/pro-

ducts/software/dante-controller.

WhenlaunchingtheStepArray+controlsoftware,therstscreenlistsallthe

StepArray+columnsitcanndonthenetwork.TherstconnectiontoaSte-

pArray+ column can take up to 1 minute: this is the time needed to initiate the

communication.

6. Installation of the columns

StepArray+ columns are mounted vertically, usually on a wall, using the sup-

plied brackets. Figure 9 illustrates the steps to follow for column mounting. See

alsogure10onthenextpagefortechnicaldrawingsofthebrackets.
