It has 8 logic outputs, 6 DR remote ports and 2 RAD ports making a 4-input, 12-output audio device, depending on which 2 RADs are connected. Thus, 32 daisy-chained EXP3x Expanders provide 256 discrete zone outputs maximum, including output compression, parametric EQ, two levels of paging and background music. These 32 EXP3x Expanders would also provide 64 RAD ports, 192 DR ports and 256 logic outputs. The dedicated DSP for each of the 8 analog outputs offers two signal processing choices independently selectable per output. When you need background music, paging and emergency pag- Each EXP3x provides full support for an 8-zone cluster without consuming the HAL1x DSP resources. All of the DSP required for paging, distributed background music selection, PEQ, dynamics and Level control is handled by the EXP3x. DR and RAD resources also scale with 6 DR ports and 2 RAD ports. The logic outputs on the EXP3x are suited for legacy paging systems where relays within each zone's 70/100 volt volume controls must be tripped during a page. Simply link the Logic Out to a Page Active in the Halogen Paging Manager, and use a Logic Out to drive a relay. This turns up the remote's volume during pages. With 8 logic outputs, 8 zones of old-school constant-voltage paging are supported. ing on an output, select the Zone Output processing set. This provides a Zone Processor block, an Emergency Zone in addition to a Compressor and a 5-band parametric EQ with high- and low-cut filters. When Line Output is selected, the compressor and parametric EQ are available without the zone processing and emergency paging blocks. Pushing the EXP3x Zone Output Expander If your application requires 8 floors of combined retail and office space, where each floor contains 8 zones, the EXP3x is a clear winner with a HAL1x. This would support 64 zones, a handful of building-wide global background music channels connected to the HAL1x directly, paging via PAGER1s ENTRY ZONE 5 within individual or even across a few OFFICE ZONE 7 ZONE 4 ZONE 6 STAGE KITCHEN ZONE 4 BAR 1 SCROLL PUSH TO SELECT ZONE 4 ZONE 7 DR3 OFFICE ZONE 4 ZONE 4 SCROLL PUSH TO SELECT DR3 2 PAGER1 BUSY CAUTION READY OVERLOAD SIGNAL 5 SCROLL PUSH TO SELECT DR3 RECEPTION ZONE 4 ZONE 4 LOBBY ZONE 4 ZONE 4 floors, plus a couple of local-only audio sources per floor. Add up to 58 DR remotes, one or two RADs per floor, and you're done.
