UK - The Renkus-Heinz Audio Operations Network (RHAON), claimed to be the first practical technology to give audio professionals maximum control over self-powered loudspeakers, made its public début as a full production product at PLASA07, in the shape of the all-new Sygma SG Series loudspeakers.

RHAON from Renkus-Heinz opens a new era in networked, powered loudspeakers with an industry-first combination of integral amplification, DSP, digital audio networking, control and monitoring, which will available for the entire Renkus-Heinz powered product lineup, says the company.

Under the headline Maximum Control, RHAON technology will become a standard option in every new Renkus-Heinz powered loudspeaker, beginning with the all-new Sygma SG Series.

Also now shipping is the RHAON-Empowered CF Series, which brings RHAON and the CF Series' technologies to a broad market across the fixed installation, portable live music and A/V marketplaces.

During the course of 2007 all current Renkus-Heinz powered loudspeakers will be RHAON enabled, providing designers and integrators with the broadest pallet of powered loudspeaker tools available from any manufacturer.

RHAON provides internal loudspeaker-specific DSP, up to 64 channels of digital audio distribution, and user control and monitoring of all vital aspects of the loudspeaker via standard Ethernet hardware - all over a single Cat 5 cable.

And for complete flexibility for the integrator or rental company, both RHAON RJ45 / Ethernet-based digital AND analogue audio connectivity are provided on each loudspeaker as standard.
