Rane HAL1 Expandable Programmable DSP

Meet HAL, an expert in room combining, paging and distributed audio systems. This groundbreaking architecture is dimensions beyond any other solution.

HAL easily guides even novice users through what used to be complex tasks in just minutes. No intricate matrix mixing or presets are required for room combining and paging. No wiring required to distribute pages and background music to multiple zones.

Seamlessly interface HAL to your application with a broad variety of peripheral devices including smart Digital Remotes, Remote Audio Devices (RADs), portable and in-rack auto mixers, bus Expansion devices, and an advanced Paging Station.

In addition, the HAL1 and Halogen software check the status, location, CAT 5 wiring integrity, and that audio is flowing in all peripheral devices, so you know your system is properly connected and ready to go.

HAL with Halogen software is more than just another DSP drag-and-drop system. It will revolutionize the way you design and install systems. HAL is fully compatible and easily integrated with existing Rane products like gain-sharing auto mixers and Rane's almost endless variety of RADs.

Rane's new Halogen 1.1 software adds Ethernet control support for third-party control systems. Standard TCP/IP set and get ASCII text messages control levels, selectors, presets and toggle actions within Halogen. Since the same Halogen software code runs on both Windows and within HAL hardware, third-party control developers can test all their code using only the Halogen Windows software. Use only software to test your control systems software code and buy the hardware only when the install date arrives. Well-documented example programs for AMX, Crestron and Stardraw Control ease programming headaches.
