MONGOOSE Design Manual RAD to DSP (or other device) via CobraNet using a Single Mongoose Since we can safely assume that you've been inside an elementary school at some point in your life, we can also assume that you are familiar with those funny room combinations called "cafetoriums" - a lunch room and auditorium rolled into one. The following sample application illustrates a possible Mongoose system that would serve such a space. This cafetorium is used for school plays and other performances and functions. Audio requirements are: • Four microphones are needed on the stage. • Two powered speakers will be mounted high on the wall on either side of the stage. • The school also wants the capability to make announcements from the opposite side of the room and to play background music (during lunch or prior to the beginning of a performance). They want to control this music from the back of the room, not from the stage area. In this example, the Mongoose is a wise choice because it provides the school with tremendous flexibility and extensibility. While delivering superb sound quality in the cafetorium, it also ties in with the existing school paging system, and provides the possibility of additional functionality in the future (as new RADs are introduced).

RAD to DSP (or other device) via CobraNet using a Single Mongoose
Since we can safely assume that you’ve been inside an elementary school at some point in your life, we
can also assume that you are familiar with those funny room combinations called “cafetoriums” – a lunch
room and auditorium rolled into one. °e following sample application illustrates a possible Mongoose
system that would serve such a space.
°is cafetorium is used for school plays and other performances and functions. Audio requirements are:
Four microphones are needed on the stage.
Two powered speakers will be mounted high on the wall on either side of the stage.
°e school also wants the capability to make announcements from the opposite side of the room
and to play background music (during lunch or prior to the beginning of a performance). °ey
want to control this music from the back of the room, not from the stage area.
In this example, the Mongoose is a wise choice because it provides the school with tremendous flexibility
and extensibility. While delivering superb sound quality in the cafetorium, it also ties in with the existing
school paging system, and provides the possibility of additional functionality in the future (as new RADs
are introduced).
