The R60 USB to CAN interface is the latest addition to the d&b Remote network. It is designed to connect d&b's amplifiers to a PC and comes with drivers for WindowsR operating systems. The ROPE C Version 2.0.7 permits the use of up to five R60 interfaces with one computer enabling a maximum of 500 and three amplifiers into one system design.
This latest software version of ROPE C also offers the ability to control and monitor d&b loudspeaker systems in much greater detail at the amplifier level, via its graphical drag and drop interface.
Colin Beveridge who heads up d&b's US office commented, "We see ever more complex systems implemented by touring engineers in order to achieve uniform quality audio coverage. Audiences deserve that attention to detail, but system set up times can prove prohibitive. The d&b software means it doesn't have to be that way. In Europe recently, a large arena show used over 100 d&b J-Series loudspeakers,grouped and controlled using the d&b Remote network. Set up took just thirty minutes."
