JBL 700 User Manual

7. CONFIGURING WITH WINCONTROL
Correct operation of a UniAmp 700 module may be
confirmed using WinControl software.
A full description of WinControl is beyond the scope of
this manual and further information is available in the
application’s Help files. Instructions on how to install
WinControl on a PC are included with the Program Set.
Instructions on the use of the AXYS
®
RS-485 interface
are included with the interface itself.
CONNECTING TO A PC
The PC connects to the amplifier module via an RS-
485 interface adapter. (Two versions of adapter are
available from Duran Audio, for connecting to PCs
either via a USB or an RS-232 port). Use either a 5-pin
XLR female to 5-pin XLR male cable or a 9-pin Dsub
to 5-pin XLR male. These cables (5 m in length) are
supplied with the WinControl Program Set, the type
depends on the RS-485 interface type. The RS-485
interface should then be connected to either the PC’s
9-pin COM port (in the case of a RS-232 to RS-485
interface) or a USB port (in the case of a USB to RS-485
interface).
BASIC SOFTWARE OPTIONS
WinControl allows the various parameters of the
UniAmp’s DSP section to be set according to the
installer’s wishes. This enables the performance of
the loudspeaker enclosure to be accurately optimised
to suit both the venue and the type of programme
material being handled (speech, rock, opera, etc.)
In the case of the Target U-16 enclosure, AXYS
®
DDA
(Digital Directivity Analysis) may be employed to model
the room’s acoustics accurately, and the results of this
analysis then used to optimise the array’s performance.

UniAmp Power Amplifier Module , Model 700
The particular set of parameters which can be adjusted
via WinControl varies with loudspeaker model. Typically,
it includes delay, gain and multi-band parametric EQ.
In addition to the parameters determining the audio
performance, the various Preset memories may have
alternative configurations stored in them, and recalled
as required. Unit monitoring may also be configured,
with the conditions for a fault state to be signalled
being registered. Additionally, multiple loudspeaker
units may be ‘grouped’ together in software, allowing
very rapid adjustment of the overall loudspeaker array
performance.
Full details of the options available within WinControl
are available in the application’s Help files.
