SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

IMPORTANT

Before connecting and using this product, please read this instruction manual carefully and keep it

on hand for future reference.

The manual is to be considered an integral part of this product and must accompany it when it

changes ownership as a reference for correct installation and use as well as for the safety

precautions. RCF S.p.A. will not assume any responsibility for the incorrect installation and / or use

of this product.

WARNING:

To prevent the risk of fire or electric shock, never expose this product to rain or humidity.

All the precautions, in particular the safety ones, must be read with special attention, as they

provide important information.

1.1

GENERAL OPERATING PRECAUTIONS

a. The mains voltage is sufficiently high to involve a risk of electrocution; therefore, never

install or connect this product when its power cable is plugged in.

b. Before powering up, make sure that all the connections have been made correctly and the

voltage of your mains corresponds to the voltage shown on the rating plate on the unit, if

not, please contact your RCF dealer.

c. The metallic parts of the unit are earthed by means of the power cable. An apparatus with

CLASS I construction shall be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing

connection.

d. Protect the power cable from damage. Make sure it is positioned in a way that it cannot be

stepped on or crushed by objects.

e. To prevent the risk of electric shock, never open the product: there are no parts inside that

the user needs to access.

f. Make sure that no objects or liquids can get into this product, as this may cause a short

circuit. This apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing. No objects filled with

liquid, such as vases, shall be placed on this apparatus. No naked sources (such as lighted

candles) should be placed on this apparatus.

g. Never attempt to carry out any operations, modifications or repairs that are not expressly

described in this manual. Contact your authorized service center or qualified personnel

should any of the following occur:

-- The product does not function (or functions in an anomalous way).

-- The power supply cable has been damaged.

-- Objects or liquids have got in the unit.

-- The product has been subject to a heavy impact.

h. If this product is not used for a long period, disconnect the power cable.

i. If this product begins emitting any strange odors or smoke, switch it off immediately and

disconnect the power supply cable.

j. Do not connect this product to any equipment or accessories not foreseen.

k. To prevent the risk of falling equipment, do not stack multiple units of this product unless

this possibility is specified in the user manual.

l. RCF S.p.A. strongly recommends this product is only installed by professional qualified

installers (or specialized firms) who can ensure correct installation and certify it according to

the regulations in force. The entire audio system must comply with the current standards

and regulations regarding electrical systems.

m. The equipment should be only used on trolleys or supports, where necessary, that are

recommended by the manufacturer. The equipment / support / trolley assembly must be

moved with extreme caution. Sudden stops, excessive pushing force and uneven floors may

cause the assembly to overturn.

n. To prevent the occurrence of noise, use screened cables only and avoid putting them close

to:

-- Equipment that produces high-intensity electromagnetic fields (for example, high power

transformers)

-- Mains cables

-- Loudspeaker lines.

o. Situate this product far from any heat sources.

p. Never force the control elements (keys, knobs, etc. ).

q. Do not use solvents, alcohol, benzene or other volatile substances for cleaning the external

parts of this product. Use a dry cloth.

INTENDED USE

The company's target is to give to rentals and customers, the necessary tools to set up systems

through an integrated solution which comprises and manages all kind of signals.

The CR 16 ND Control Rack provides convenient and flexible routing of audio, network and Rd-Net

signals in a simple, safe and fast way. The Cr- 16 ND Control Rack contains 1 Rd-Net Control 8 and

one DX 1616 processor that combined with rear panel patch allows the routing operations.

RDNET CONTROL 8 unit routes all remote control and monitor data between the PC and audio

devices using RDNET.

RDNET is a proprietary protocol of a network that allows to connect up to 256 speakers every RDNet

CONTROL 8 unit. RdNet software is the end user interface for remote control and monitor RCF

professional speakers in real time.

The RDNET software allows to monitor every device, checking functionality as temperatures, audio

signal RMS values, cooling fans, and all parameters like Eq, Delay, Gain, etc..

For the technical specifications refer to the RDNET Control 8 manual and RDNET software manual.

DX 1616 is a 40 Bit, Floating Point DSP processor with High Performance 24 Bit Converter with 16

analog inputs, 16 analog outputs, AES in & out. DX 1616 provide Dante enabled network audio.

Allows loop-through connection (Dante protocol) of multiple CR- 16 ND units to manage big

systems.

DX 1616 bridges the gap between fixed architecture and open architecture drag & drop type

processors. We call DX 1616 a Hybrid architecture DSP.

For the technical specifications of the processor refer to the DX 1616 manual.

2.1

CR – 16 ND REAR PANEL

The analog outputs of the CR 16 ND are divided in 4 equal sections. Each section has 4 XLR audio

outputs and 2 XLR Rd-Net outputs. These outputs operate in parallel with a standard LK 25 multipin

connector that routes 8 balanced signals. 4 audio, 2 Rd- Net and 2 aux for general/spare use. The

goal is to use only one cable for audio and network for each part of the system.

The LKS 25 signal fan-out allows connections among multicore signal cables to groups of

loudspeaker on the cluster. (See the examples at the end of this manual).

The A-B-C-D,7-8 XLR male input of each section is connected with the 7 and 8 outputs of the LK 25

connector. It is possible to patch it with any outputs, audio or Rd-Net, to route it to the cluster or to

the subs using the 7-8 Aux/Spare lines.

The Dual Ethernet switch (optional) allows to connect Control 8 and DX 1616 to the same Computer.

It has also secondary ports for redundant Dante lan connections.

There is also the possibility to connect a secondary wireless access point that allows the connection

of wireless IOS or Android devices to control the parameters of the DX 1616.

The front panel of the CR 16 ND display the Rd-Net control 8 unit and of the DX 1616.

There is also the powercon input to power supply the unit.

The unit is provided with a drawer for various equipment and accessories and a wood retractable

integrated cover to protect the connection panel.

CONNECTIONS EXAMPLE

In the following example we are using a system with 12 + 12 HDL 50 A and 16 Subs 9007-AS. In this

case we are using 3 audio signals for A and B sections. 1 audio signal each 4 HDL 50 A modules.

For the subs we are using 4 audio signal from section C. The signal routed to the subs are mono and

it is managed by the DX 1616. We are connected to the switch with a single laptop to set up the Rd-

Net synoptic project and to set up the DX 1616.

We can also control the DX 1616 using Apple IPad or an Android devices, walking in the venue and

making changes in real time.

The processor sold in the CR 16-ND is programmed to help in managing system as the follow

example with the architecture splitted in 4 equal sectors.

Of course CR-16-ND can be used in a standard configuration as a matrix processor with 16 analog

and 8 digital and Dante in/out signal. In the download section of the dedicated webpage

http://www.rcf.it/it_IT/products/touring-and-theatre/dx-1616, customers will find and download

different project to manage the DX 1616 for different or general purpose use.
