RANE HAL1 Expandable Programmable DSP Multiprocessor Firewire CAT 5 HAL-1 New

Meet HAL, an expert in room combining, paging and distributed audio systems. This groundbreaking architecture is dimensions beyond any other solution. HAL easily guides even novice users through what used to be complex tasks in just minutes. No intricate matrix mixing or presets are required for room combining and paging. No virtual wiring required to distribute pages and background music to multiple zones.

Seamlessly interface HAL to your application with a broad variety of peripheral devices including smart Digital Remotes, Remote Audio Devices (RADs), portable and in-rack automixers, audio I/O and control logic expansion devices, wall sensors, ambient sensing mics, small remote amplifiers, and an advanced Paging Station.

In addition, the HAL Multiprocessor and Halogen software check the status, location, CAT 5 wiring integrity, and that audio is flowing in all peripheral devices, so you know your system is properly connected and ready to go.

HAL is more than just another DSP drag-and-drop system. It has revolutionized system design and installation.

Three HAL Multiprocessors provide various audio I/O and control options for both large and small installations.
