CHAPTER 2: Introduction to the HAL System For more details, see the manuals that accompany the AM1 and AM2. More information on these RADs is also available in the Halogen Help System. RAD26 - One Room RAD The RAD26 provides support for all of the audio I/O and control required to support a typical small room in a larger distributed audio system. Spa rooms, meeting rooms, group study rooms, and small conference rooms all require some set of the following features: l Local A/V Line input (iPod, Computer, or DVD/Blu-ray player) o Stereo Aux Input (mini-TRS, on front bottom, left) l One or two microphone inputs o Two Mic/Line/Line-Plus Inputs (Euroblock, on rear) l Amplifier outputs for ceiling speakers o 2X4 watts or 1X8 watts (Euroblock, on rear) l Headphone Output o Stereo (mini-TRS, on front bottom, right) l Level and Source Selection o Integrated remote control knobs with LCD (similar, but more capable than the DR3) l Logic Input and Logic Output o Used for preset recall, projector on/off, projector screen up/down, push -to-talk etc. (Euro block, on rear) A wall mount RAD26 provides all the essential elements required for a small room with only one HAL-connected, shielded CAT 5e or better cable providing audio I/O, control and power. The RAD26 is an input, output, amplifier and control solution for small rooms within a larger sound system. Hotels with small meeting rooms and spa rooms require local inputs and control and must also receive paging from elsewhere in the building. Many offices and campuses provide meeting and conference rooms for small groups which must support in-room A/V presentations but also receive emergency pages and announcements. 31
