18.0: VM ²
VM² is a patented feature that allows the status information for HiQnet-enabled AKG Wireless Microphone systems
as well as certain models of SHURE and Sennheiser wireless microphone systems, to be displayed directly within the
channel strip that they are connected to. This feature brings many benets including streamlining of the workow and
increase in speed of problem diagnosis.
HiQnet-enabled AKG wireless receivers can be connected to the HiQnet network directly, via the AKG Hub4000Q
(HiQnet merge device), from a shared network via an Ethernet Switch. SHURE and Sennheiser receivers are connect-
ed directly to the console via the receiver’s Dante or Ethernet port, or via an Ethernet Switch in the case of multiple
receivers.
On the Vi1000, the HiQnet network setup is located in the main menu ([MENU]) under the (System) tab.
Available VM² status’, including battery level, RF level, mute and audio clipping status of the microphone tramsmitter
are shown in the input channel’s input block in the touchscreen, and in the VST section when that input block is select-
ed. Also, the microphone names appear in the channel label display in the touch screen.
About HiQnet
HiQnet is a network communications protocol developed by Harman which enables various professional audio
products within the Harman Pro-audio range to communicate with each other and provides remote control and
monitoring of Harman devices such as power ampliers, powered speakers, DSP processors and microphones.
Ethernet is normally used as the transport method for HiQnet control, as it provides a robust and standardised method
of connecting multiple devices in a network conguration. A Windows application called Audio Architect provides a
master control and monitoring program that allows all equipment on the HiQnet network to be controlled from a single
user interface.
On the Vi Series of consoles HiQnet allows error messages generated by other Harman devices to be displayed in
the console’s message log – for example thermal overload messages generated by Crown ampliers. In addition the
consoles are able to transmit a Venue Preset recall - the HiQnet equivalent of a MIDI Program Change – to all other
devices in the network.
