Rane Introduces HAL2 and HAL3

Following on from Rane’s introduction of HAL in 2011, the Seattle based manufacturer has introduced HAL2 and HAL3, expanding HAL hardware applications, together with new RADs (wall-mount Remote Audio Devices performing A/D and D/A using Cat-5 cable), DRs (wall-mount digital remotes controlling audio but not passing audio) and Halogen software features.

The new Halogen software release adds Ethernet control support for third-party control systems, for which AMX, Crestron and Stardraw Control provide simple programming. HAL and Halogen provide solutions for room combining, in addition to paging/distributed audio systems. Halogen software simplifies programming tasks and the setting up of multi-zone paging systems or complex room combining. Halogen teams with HAL to automatically check the status, location, Cat-5 wiring integrity and checks that audio is flowing in all peripheral devices. RAD I/O devices and DR remotes extend HAL’s reach beyond the equipment rack, providing isolation from grounding problems and electromagnetic interference.
