1. Welcome

Congratulations on purchasing Fohnn products and thank you for trusting in our systems.

Fohn Audio Soft acts as a control centre for all the DSPs that are built into our active devices. These DSPs include all the necessary functions for carrying out high-quality, professional audio processing.

To maximize the potential of your Fohhn products and to guarantee trouble-free operation, we recommend reading the following manual carefully before using your system. We also suggest keeping this information to hand for the benefit of future users.

Please take time to read the following instructions carefully and thoroughly, even if you are already an experienced user.

2. Introduction

2.1 What is Fohnn Audio Soft?

Fohnn Audio Soft is a software application for Windows-based PC that forms the control centre of your Fohnn System. Its user interface gives software access to the DSPs (digital signal processors) that are built into all active Fohnn devices, enabling the remote control of all parameters and functions needed for professional, high-quality audio processing.

At the same time, Fohnn Audio Soft also enables the management and control of up to 254 active Fohnn devices, giving you constant feedback on both the status of the connected devices and their respective parameter values.

2.2 What is the Fohnn Audio DSP?

As a user, the Fohnn Audio DSP gives you instant access to all the functions needed for fast, efficient and of course excellent-sounding audio processing.

The Fohnn Audio DSP consists of two separate digital signal processors that are built into all of Fohnn's active hardware devices (loudspeakers, amplifiers and controllers): The first Audio DSP is used for calculating high-quality signal processing functions. This enables you – with help from Fohnn Audio Soft – to delve into the various parameters and actively shape the sound characteristics of the Fohnn loudspeaker systems. The second DSP takes care of the loudspeaker management.

Any Fohn loudspeaker systems equipped with Fohn Beam Steering Technology can be controlled using Fohn Audio Soft.

A database for all Fohhn loudspeakers is also available via the Fohhn Audio DSP. This enables all current loudspeaker systems to be registered in Fohhn Audio Soft, so that a loudspeaker setup can be configured with minimum effort.

2.3 What is Fohn-Net?

Communication between Fohnn Audio Soft and the Fohnn Audio DSP takes place via Fohnn-Net. Using this proprietary network, instructions entered on the software interface are transmitted to the hardware. The returning feedback from the hardware is then displayed in Fohnn Audio Soft. In order to achieve successful communication, all components in the system are allocated a specific ID number. This way, every component can be individually addressed: Fohnn-Net enables up to 254 IDs to be assigned.

However, Fohhn Audio Soft cannot address the various pieces of system hardware directly. For this a Fohhn-Net Adapter is required – known as Node in the Fohhn Audio Soft – which can translate the relevant information. Fohhn currently offers the NA-1/NA-11 (USB) Fohhn-Net Adapters and the NA-3 (Ethernet) Fohhn-Net Adapter. The adapter links the computer to the Fohhn hardware, enabling successful system communication to take place.

    style C fill:#cfc,stroke:#333
    style D fill:#fcc,stroke:#333

Basic Fohn-Net cabling

For more complex systems you can use more than one Node in your Fohnn-Net setup: Fohnn Audio Soft allows simultaneous use of the NA-11 (max 3 units), NA-3 (max 127 units) and NA-1 (max 1 unit).

Wiring up your Fohnn-Net is described in the Fohnn-Net Adapter and Fohnn hardware (loudspeaker, amplifier and controller) manuals.

2.4 System Requirements

To use Fohhn Audio Soft, you need a commercially available PC with the following spec:

• Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 (32- and 64-Bit versions)
• Dual Core Processor
• 4 GB RAM
• Graphic resolution of 1600 x 900 pixels recommended (min. 1366 x 768)
  • Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1 (if not found, this extension will be automatically installed: therefore an internet connection will be required).
• a free USB Port

2.4.1 Information on use with Windows 10

In the Windows 10 default setting, the option Settings> Devices > Mouse & Touchpad > Scroll inactive windows when I hover over them is active: This allows the user to scroll in an open window without having to select it first.

Fohnn Audio Soft can also be used with this option. However, this means the beam angle in the Focus Simulation can only be adjusted using the scroll wheel if you place the mouse pointer directly over the value in the software interface.

In order to use an input method similar to the one in Windows 7 or 8, the above option should be turned Off. In this situation, scrolling in open windows will not be possible unless first selected.

The current version of Fohhn Audio Soft can be downloaded for free from www.fohhn.com

When a software update is available, carry out the following steps in order to install the new version of Fohn Audio Soft on your computer:

1. Download the new version of Fohnh Audio Soft to your computer.
2. Find the file Fohn_Audio_Soft_x.x.x_Setup.exe on your computer (x.x.x will denote the actual version number).
3. Run the installer program by double-clicking on the file: Follow the on-screen instructions.
4. Click on Install to install the program on your computer. Also confirm this in the User Account Control dialog.
5. To complete the installation click on the "Finish" button.

Once installed, the software will be ready to use and can either be opened using the program symbol on the desktop, or via the path Start > All programs > Fohnn Audio AG > Fohnn Audio Soft.

3. The Software User Interface

This lets you separate the loudspeakers that were previously stacked together. As a result, they can once again be individually set up and parameterized.

- Create Group

If you have simultaneously selected several speakers in the view, this command will let you create a new group comprising these speakers. This will allow you to change parameters on all of them at the same time. When changing relative volume levels, the relevant faders will show up in blue.

- Release Group

This lets you disband an existing group.

- Manage Speaker Presets

This lets you load new speaker presets from the Fohn Database into the device. This is relevant when a new speaker model becomes available.

- Routing

This opens the Routing dialog. You can find more information on this in Chapter 5.2 "Routing".

3.4.5 User-defined Controls

If you have created a volume group using the User-defined Control menu, the following commands/functions will be available via this context menu:

- Delete Window

This command lets you delete the relevant volume group.

- Configure

This command opens the Configure Volume Group dialog, in which you can add additional channels or remove existing ones from the relevant volume group configuration.

If you have added a window for your own controls, via the User-defined Controls menu, the following commands/functions will be available via the context menu:

- Add Mute

This lets you create a Mute button with which you can mute or activate selected system inputs and outputs by clicking on the button.

- Add Preset

This lets you create a button with which you can load presets by clicking on the button.

- Configure

This opens the Rename dialog, in which you can rename an added control element.

This lets you delete the relevant control element from both the view and the system.

3.4.6 Focus Simulation

The following commands/functions are available in the parameter field of this context menu:

- Copy

This lets you copy the value or function status of a desired Focus Simulation function to the cache memory.

- Insert

This lets you transfer the copied and temporarily saved value / function status information to the same function on another channel.

4. Operation

This chapter covers the initial operation of your Fohhn system using Fohhn Audio Soft. The following instructions assume that your Fohhn-Net is fully connected: You will find information on connecting data- and audio cables in the documentation that was supplied with your Fohhn hardware product. Now start up Fohhn Audio Soft.

Please check the following carefully:

• Make sure that your computer is connected to one (or more) Fohn-Net Adapter(s), via either a USB- or Ethernet interface.
  • Make sure that the Fohnh-Net Adapter(s) is/are connected to active Fohnh hardware.
  • Make sure that the Fohnh hardware has the appropriate audio cabling.
  • Make sure that the volume level of the audio source is turned down completely.
  • Make sure that the Fohn hardware is switched on.

4.1 Fohhn-Net Setup

4.1.1 Starting the Software

Find the link to Fohnn Audio Soft on your computer. You can start up the software in the following ways:

• Double-click on the Fohn Audio Soft icon, which will have appeared on your computer's desktop following installation.
  • Start the software via the path Start > All Programs > Fohnn Audio AG > Fohnn Audio Soft.

Fohhn Audio Soft will have now started: If one or more Fohhn-Net Adapters have been correctly connected in the system, the software will automatically recognise these and incorporate them into the workspace.

The software will then open the Search Device / Network Scan dialog and automatically search the Fohhn-Net setup for Fohhn hardware. All recognised devices will now show up in the dialog with the following information:

• ID

This refers to the Fohn-Net ID that the device has been allocated. You can change this ID as required.

- Device

The name of the Fohnn product will appear here. This product name cannot be changed.

- Version

This shows the Firmware version for each device.

- Node

This shows the name of the Fohhn-Net Adapter to which the components are connected. Several Fohhn-Net Adapters can be simultaneously registered in the Fohhn-Net setup.

As a default, Fohnn Audio Soft searches for devices with ID numbers 1-32. Using the dialog fields From Fohnn-Net ID and To Fohnn-Net ID, deviant values of between 1 and 254 can be entered, provided you already know that the Fohnn devices in question are set to these numbers by default. Provided that you enter these deviant numbers, Fohnn Audio Soft will save them for future registrations. Click on Search to perform a new network scan.

At the end of the search, all recognised Fohnn components will appear in the Find devices dialog, but will not have automatically been loaded into the software workspace. This is done as follows:

• To register all recognised devices, select them in the Add All Devices dialog field, then confirm by clicking OK.
• If you only want to include selected components, click on these in the list while holding down the SHIFT key (for successive selections) or the CTRL key (for multiple selections), then click on OK.
• To include a single component, click on it using the right mouse button and in the context menu choose Add Selected Device To Workspace.
  • Alternatively, you can add devices individually to the workspace by simply double-clicking on them.

Fohhn Audio Soft searches for Fohhn hardware in all active Fohhn-Net Nodes simultaneously. Fohhn-Net can handle a total of 254 IDs altogether: These IDs are allocated globally for the entire Fohhn-Net network. Duplicate IDs are not permitted!

4.1.2 Configuration Using Multiple Nodes

With more complex system setups, more Nodes may be needed. In such cases it might be necessary, under some circumstances, to configure the individual Nodes separately within the system. From the Menu Bar select Setup > Fohnn-Net Adapter. This will open the Fohnn-Net Configuration dialog, in which all the recognised Nodes in the system are listed. The following information will be displayed:

- Enabled

If this checkbox is active, the Node is active. Otherwise the Node will not be addressed, i.e. scanned in the system, and the connected components will not be found in the network.

If the Discovering Enabled field is activated, then all Nodes in the system will be automatically searched for.

- Type

This notes which Node type is connected and how it communicates with the computer.

Node

Further information on Nodes, e.g. their IP addresses, or the identification of the USB Fohn-Net Adapter is displayed here.

- Description

This is where the current name of the Node is entered. You can change this as required.

Please note that this description is not saved in the Node itself, but only in the Fohn-Net configuration.

- Timeout

The current Fohn-Net timeout / offset is displayed here.

• Discovered

The configuration status of the Node is displayed here: An asterisk shows that the Node is automatically configured.

- Status

This shows the status of the Node in the network: If the Node is active (Enabled) and recognised in Fohnn-Net, its listing will be highlighted in green. If the Node has been deactivated (no check under Enabled), the orange-highlighted Disabled entry will show up and the Node cannot be searched for in the Fohnn-Net network.

To configure a Node, click in the dialog window using the right mouse button. Using the context menu you can now make the following settings:

- Enable/Disable

This lets you activate or deactivate one or more Nodes (making a multiple selection by using the Shift/CTRL key).

- Set description

In this dialog you can enter your own description for the Node.

- Set timeout offset

Here you can make an adjustment so that Fohnn Audio Soft waits longer for the response from a device. This can remedy problems relating to a poor WLAN connection for example. Normally it is best not to change the default value (0 ms). Otherwise the system may take longer to respond as a result.

- Add

Here you can add further Nodes to the Fohn-Net.

- Remove

This lets you remove a selected Node from the Fohn-Net.

If you make modifications to the settings, you can apply these by clicking on the Apply button, without having to close the dialog. These settings will then be active.

Using the Save button, you can save the current configuration as a file on your computer. This will function as a backup of the setup.

Using Load you can load stored configurations, having saved your entire Fohnn-Net configuration as a file that can then be loaded.

Clicking OK accepts all the changes and closes the dialog. Clicking on Cancel discontinues the configuration.

4.1.3 ID Allocation

In order for Fohnn Audio Soft to communicate the Fohnn Hardware, each Fohnn-Net component must have its own individual ID, via which it can be clearly identified and communicated with. Each Fohnn component is allocated a specific default ID. However, you may need to change this default setting in order to avoid conflict with other existing components.

To change the ID directly in the Find devices dialog, proceed as follows:

1. Using the right mouse button, click on a component in the dialog's list view.
2. In the context menu select Change Fohnn-Net ID.
3. In the dialog with the same name, enter a new ID for the component. Make sure that this ID is not already in use.
4. Confirm this entry by clicking OK: The component will now have a newly assigned ID.

You can also change a component ID while it is in use. The device must already be registered. To do this, proceed as follows:

1. Open the Device List view, either via the View menu, or via the similarly named button on the Toolbar.
2. Using the right mouse button, click on a component in the Device List display.
3. In the context menu select Change Fohnn-Net ID.
4. Using the same dialog, give the component a new ID number, making sure that this ID is not already in use.
5. Confirm this entry by clicking OK: The component will now have a newly assigned ID.

4.2 Presets

Clicking on the Presets button in the Devices view opens a control panel in which you can load and save up to 100 presets. At the top of the Preset window it shows which preset is currently loaded. The first ten presets are factory presets that cannot be overwritten. To restore your device to its default setting, simply load the first preset.

- Load

To load a preset, just click on the Load button. This opens the preset list. Select one of the presets, then click OK.

- Save

To save a preset, click on Save. This opens the preset list. Select a preset number, enter a name in the text field then click OK. All settings will be permanently saved in the device and will remain even when the device is switched off.

- Speaker

Clicking on the Speaker button opens a further window from which you can load speaker presets. Right clicking on one of the loudspeaker symbols opens the list of speaker presets. You can also open the speaker presets by clicking on either the Select From List or Select From Database buttons. Select From List only accesses the speaker presets that are saved to the device, whereas Select From Database accesses all available speaker presets.

In the Channels and Speakers views, presets can be simultaneously loaded and saved to multiple devices using the context menus.

1. Load Preset

This button opens the preset list. Select the desired preset from the list and confirm by clicking OK.

2. Save Preset

This button opens the preset database. Using a mouse click, select the preferred location in which to save your preset. Under Preset Name, enter the desired name for your preset and confirm this by clicking OK.

4.3 System Setup

Once communication has been established between Fohnn Audio Soft and the various hardware components, you can begin configuring your system.

Before starting to operate your Fohn loudspeakers, you will need to load the correct speaker presets. With some devices, such as controllers, amplifier presets need to be loaded. If you plan to start with a completely new configuration, it is best to first load a factory preset (e.g. Preset 1), from which you can then create one of your own user presets.

Having loaded the preset, you can then adjust the settings to suit the current sound situation. You also have the possibility to change DSP function parameters – Equalizer, Compressor, Limiter, Noise-Gate, Delay und X-Over – as required, and to save these in your own user preset.

4.4 Settings for Devices, Channels and Speakers

After the system has been basically configured, you can further specify the individual components. With larger systems in particular, it makes sense to specifically name the individual devices, loudspeakers and/or channels.

4.4.1 Renaming Devices

For easier identification within Fohn Audio Soft, we recommend giving your devices individual names. To do this, proceed as follows:

1. Open the Device List or Devices view, either via the similarly-named entries in the View menu, or by using the buttons in the Toolbar.
2. Using the right mouse button, click on the desired device in the list (Device List) or workspace (Devices).
3. In the context menu choose Rename Device.
4. In the Rename dialog, enter a new name for the device and complete the entry by clicking OK.

This new name will now be adopted in the Device List, Devices and Channels views.

4.4.2 Rename Channels

With a controller or power amplifier, you have the possibility of separately naming individual channels. To do this, proceed as follows:

1. Open the Devices, Channels or Speakers view, either via the similarly named entries in the View menu, or by using the buttons in the Toolbar.
2. Using the right mouse button, click on the desired device or channel.
3. Select the appropriate entry in the context menu of the particular view.

○ Devices: Rename Channel >Rename Channel X

- Channels: Rename

- Speakers: Rename channel

1. In the Rename dialog, enter a new name for the channel and complete the entry by clicking OK.

This new name will now be adopted in the Devices, Channels and Speakers views.

4.4.3 Arranging the Loudspeakers and Devices

A further possibility, which makes the Fohn Audio Soft display easier to handle, is the ability to graphically arrange the various loudspeakers and devices on the user interface. For complex applications and/or fixed installations in particular, we recommend that the loudspeakers and devices be arranged on the interface in exactly the same way that they are physically positioned in the room.

The name shown on the speaker symbol corresponds with that of the currently loaded speaker preset. If a question mark appears here, the loading process may not yet be completed so the speaker preset will not be active!

To arrange loudspeakers and devices, proceed as follows:

1. Open the Devices or Speakers views either via the similarly named entries in the View menu, or by using the buttons in the Toolbar.
2. Arrange the individual loudspeaker pictograms and/or devices according to the physical positions of the loudspeakers and devices in the room.

This arrangement of loudspeakers and devices will be saved in Fohnn Audio Soft and will remain until you change the configuration of the arrangement again.

4.4.4 Stacking (Focus Modular only)

If you are working with Focus Modular loudspeakers from the Focus-Series (e.g. FM/I-400), you can "stack" these modules, i.e. combine them into a single unit. To combine these loudspeakers, proceed as follows:

1. Open the Speakers view, either via the similarly named entry in the View menu, or by using the button in the Toolbar.
2. Arrange the unit pictograms one above the other, as with the physical units, so that they are touching one another on the screen.
3. Select all these loudspeaker pictograms with the mouse.
4. Using the right mouse button, click on one of the selected speakers to open the context menu.
5. Select Combine Speaker Stack.

In the loudspeaker pictograms, next to the ID, an S will appear: These means that the loudspeakers are now "stacked".

4.5 DSP Functions

Fohn Audio Soft gives you direct access to all the parameters and functionality of the Fohn Audio DSP (digital signal processor).

With the Fohnn Audio DSP, all signal processing functions are calculated in real time. Here you can access all the relevant audio parameters and shape the sound of your Fohnn loudspeaker systems according to your requirements and taste.

The following DSP functions are available in the Devices, Channels and Speakers views. In the Channels and Speakers views, you will find the controls on the right side of the window. In the Devices view, you can open the controls by clicking on the relevant buttons for the respective device.

Using either the rotary control or the corresponding text field, you can set the limit of the low pass filter (10 Hz to 20 kHz).

- On/Off

The On/Off button let you switch the high- and low pass filters on or off.

4.5.5 Equalizer

Here you can set up a 10-band Equalizer for each channel/speaker, including the following parameters:

• Q

in this text field you can set the Q factor (e.g. range) of the relevant frequency bands between 0.1 (very wide) and 100 (very narrow).

- Freq

In this text field you can set the exact frequency of the relevant frequency bands between 10 Hz and 20 kHz.

- Fader

in this text field you can set how much you want to amplify or attenuate the relevant frequency band within a range of +/- 12 dB.

- On/Off

Using the On/Off buttons, you can either switch each filter on or off separately, or switch the entire EQ on or off. This lets you easily check the influence of any EQ on the sound of your system as a whole.

4.5.6 Graph

This displays the current channel-related EQ curves: Any changes made in the Equalizer are shown here.

4.5.7 Dynamics

Here you can set the following parameters for the dynamics processors (Limiter, Compressor and Noise Gate) that are available on each channel:

- Limit

Here you can set the threshold, (-50 to +24 dB) at which the Limiter begins to respond, using either the rotary control or the corresponding text field.

4.7 Beam Steering and Focus Simulation

4.7.1 Definition

In the audio processing world the term "Beam Steering" refers to the process of controlling the beam dispersion characteristics of loudspeaker systems using electronics and software. Through highly controlled overlapping of signal sources that are tightly positioned in close proximity to one another, it is possible to "bundle" sound over a wide frequency range and adjust the beam angle of the loudspeaker with unparalleled flexibility. In general: the longer the loudspeaker, the lower the frequencies that can be included in the "bundle". Because each speaker driver can be individually controlled and adjusted, via use of a dedicated algorithm or DSP, this in turn influences the sound dispersion capability of the entire loudspeaker.

All Fohn Focus-Series loudspeakers work with Beam Steering Technology, which facilitates this “acoustic bundling” and the subsequent control of beam dispersion characteristics. Combining the DSPs with Fohn Audio Soft enables a loudspeaker system’s vertical inclination angle and vertical beam width to be electronically controlled – in real time!

A further advantage of this hardware/software combination is the ability to simulate the acoustic behaviour of sound in a room, without the need to have loudspeakers connected. Fohhn Audio Soft lets you configure the entire sound system in advance and visually set it up in the room space, even before the actual systems are in use at the venue. As required, you can also set up all the relevant acoustic parameters in advance on the screen, and then verify the settings in practice. Thanks to Fohhn Audio Soft, adjustments can be made in real time while the system is running, without jeopardizing the sound quality.

4.7.2 Focus Simulation Parameters

Adjustable Fohnn loudspeaker parameters include the vertical beam width (in a range of 0 to 90°) and the vertical inclination angle (from -40 to +40°). Using Fohnn Audio Soft, these parameter adjustments can be made in real time, in highly precise 0.1° increments.

Fohhn Audio Soft also offers real-time access to other parameters: For example, the acoustic centre of a loudspeaker can be set practically anywhere over its entire length. Fohhn's in-house developed Side-Lobe-Free and Two Beam technologies can also be activated using the relevant buttons.

4.7.3 System Setup (Focus-Series)

To adjust your system to meet venue requirements, open the Focus Simulation view: This display lets you set all the parameters that are relevant to Beam Steering. You can either do this offline as a simulation, or online in real time.

The display and operation of the Focus Simulation is covered in the following sections:

The Device Field

This shows all the Focus-Series devices that are in the system, along with their IDs, names, type/model classifications and current operating status.

Click on a device entry to select the required loudspeaker (or stack of Focus Modular modules) that you want to configure in the Parameter Field. The selected device is highlighted in blue.

Id	Name	Type	Status
0	Domo	Focus	virtual
7	LFI-220	LFI-220	online
6	FMI 400	FMI 400	online

The Parameter Field

This lets you configure the beam dispersion characteristics of the loudspeaker selected in the Device Field, using the following parameters:

• X-Pos (m)
This defines the distance of the selected speaker (in metres) in relation to the vertical back wall.

• Z-Pos (m)

Defines the height of the selected speaker's lower edge (in metres) in relation to the floor.

- Freq. (Hz)

Here you will input the reference frequency for calculation and display in the neighbouring beam simulation. The frequency you input here will have no effect whatsoever on the sound being reproduced by your loudspeaker.

- Upside Down

Adding a check mark to this field means that the loudspeaker effectively turns upside down. This can be useful if you have to install your Focus-Series loudspeakers head first.

- Split

Adding a check mark to this field creates a second beam for the loudspeaker in question. The following parameters can then be set for both beams, individually and independently from each other.

- Angle (°)

Here you can enter the beam's vertical inclination angle - in 0.1^ increments - within a range of +/-40^ .

- Beam (°)

Adding a check mark to this field lets you set the vertical width of the beam - in 0.1^ increments - within in a range of +/- 90^ .

• High-pass (Hz)

Adding a check mark to this field lets you enter the frequency threshold (10 Hz to 10 kHz): The fundamental tone below this frequency will be attenuated by 24 dB / Octave (fourth order). The high pass is recommended for effective masking of the fundamental tone.

- Side Lobes > Optimize

When adding a check mark to this field, Side Lobes will be removed as far as is possible, by means of a dedicated Fohnn algorithm: Because this makes the room less “excited”, levels of speech intelligibility will be significantly improved. With the overall volume level of the system now somewhat lower as a result, you can use the volume control in Fohnn Audio Soft to compensate for this.

Center (%)

When Optimize is active, you can change the acoustic centre of the loudspeaker. 0 % means that the acoustic centre moves to what is virtually the bottom end of the speaker, whereas 100 % takes it to the top end. In its default setting of 50 % (or if Optimize is not active), the acoustic centre sits at what is basically the optical centre of the speaker.

- Gain (dB)

Here you can attenuate the level of the selected beam over a range of 0 to -90 dB. If two beams are active, you can use these fields to set the relative levels of both in parallel.

- Spk Count

This shows how many loudspeakers (defined by their respective numbers of drivers) are in use. An FM-400 module, for example, is shown with 16 (the actual number), two “stacked” FM-400 modules with 32 etc. In complex applications, this lets you see at a glance whether several FM-400 modules are “stacked” for example.

The Beam Simulation

This window displays a graphic representation of your selected loudspeaker's beam dispersion characteristics, resulting from the settings entered in the Parameter Field.

Beam Simulation with level legend (top right)

The Beam Simulation shows the position of the beam in the room: The Y-Axis represents the room's height, while the X-Axis represents its depth. You can adjust the sound pressure display by clicking on and moving the level range shown in the legend at the top right of the window.

The window below shows the sound pressure level for the selected frequency at a listening height of 1.70, or alternatively, the frequency response at a specific point.

If the mouse pointer is moving in the Beam Simulation window, you will see the frequency response at the position of the actual mouse pointer. If the mouse pointer is outside the Beam Simulation window, you will see the sound pressure level at the listening height.

Frequency Response Window

5. Advanced Operation

Once your system is set up and in operation, we'd like to introduce you to some more advanced operational features that are described this chapter. These will enable you to delve deeper into your system using Fohn Audio Soft.

5.1 Creating Groups

In the Channels view, you can take selected channels across multiple devices and combine them to form a group. You can then name this group and highlight it with a colour. This subsequently allows you to simultaneously edit and control all the parameters of the channels belonging to the group. For large projects involving multiple devices, this is a very helpful tool.

To make your selection, click on the channel (holding down the Shift- or Ctrl key for multiple channels) in the Channels view. Please note that a channel can only belong to one group at a time!

To create a new Group, or edit an existing one, open the context menu by right clicking. The following command options will be available:

• Add To Group (Shortcut: C)

This lets you add one or more selected channels to an existing group.

• New Group (Shortcut: V)

This lets you combine several selected channels to form a new group. In the window that opens, you can also allocate a colour to this new group, with which it will be highlighted in the Group column. You can also name it.

- Remove from Group

This function lets you permanently remove all selected channels from their groups.

- Rename Group / Change Colour (Shortcut: B)

This lets you change the name and colour of an existing group. In the associated window/dialog, you can allocate a (new) colour to the group, with which it will be highlighted in the Group column. In the Group Name field, you can enter a specific name for the group.

• Activate Single Select Mode (Shortcut: F)

This lets you temporarily disband a selected group: This function can be used with several groups at once. The channels belonging to the group will now show up in the Group column with a dotted underscore.

• Activate Group Select Mode (Shortcut: G)

This lets you choose to re-activate a temporarily disbanded group. The function can be used with several temporarily disbanded groups at once.

5.2 Routing

The Routing function lets you establish which input signals will be replayed via which outputs. You can assign several input signals to one output channel.

We recommend that you open this function via the Channels view; although it is also available via the Speakers view. Right-click in here, or on the selected channels, and choose Routing in the context menu. Alternatively, you can open this window using the hot key shortcut R.

Here you can select one or more channels by clicking. The selected channels will be highlighted in blue and can now be edited.

Using the ON/Off buttons in the lower left corner of the window, you can mute or unmute the selected channels.

Further functions can be accessed from the context menu by right clicking on one of the selected channels:

• Route > On (Shortcut: Q)

This lets you remove the muting from a selected channel.

• Route > Off (Shortcut: W)

This lets you mute the selected channel.

• Route > Toggle (Shortcut: E)

This lets you toggle the status of the selected channel(s).

• Set Gain (absolute) > Enter Value (Shortcut: T)

This opens a window in which, using your computer keyboard, you can enter the desired level value for the selected channel, or channels.

- Adjust Gain (Relative)

In contrast with Set Gain (absolute), here you will not enter absolute values. Instead, you will add/subtract the desired level to/from the current values shown in the selected channels.

- Adjust Gain (Relative) > Enter Value

Here you can enter level values in dB, in order to raise or lower the level of all selected channels.

- Polarity

Normal: This switches the phase position of the selected channel to neutral.

Invert: This inverts the phase position of the selected channels by 180°.

Switch: This rotates the phase position of the selected channels by 180^ at a time: Non-inverted channels will now be inverted, while inverted channels will revert to neutral.

5.3 User-defined Controls

There are numerous applications for which Fohnn Audio Soft's grouping functions can prove very useful:

For example, using a Volume Group lets you simultaneously control the volume levels on several loudspeakers. Creating a Mute Group Button will let you mute several loudspeakers at once. A Preset Group Button will let you call up various presets at the touch of a button.

Volume Groups

To create a Volume Group, proceed as follows:

1. Click on the User-defined Controls menu.

5.4 Sub Arrays

Fohhn Audio Soft makes it simple for you to combine Fohhn subwoofers into arrays. This means that their dispersion characteristics can also be controlled in real time using the Focus Simulation view.

5.4.1 Guidelines

Please note that you can only combine the same type of Fohnn subwoofers in a Sub Array! In the case of active subs, you can however add passive subwoofers as slaves: So for example, it is possible to use an active XS-10 together with a passive XSP-10.

However, any amplifiers used with the passive subwoofers must also be structurally identical. It is not possible to use different models at the same time.

If you are using a Fohnn Controller, make sure you are also only using identical amplifiers.

All subwoofers must be placed an equal distance from one another! It doesn't matter whether the subwoofers are arranged vertically or horizontally.

5.4.2 Stacking the Subwoofers

The following steps describe how to set up your Bass Array:

1. Open the Speakers view.
2. Arrange the subwoofer symbols in the same order that you have arrange the actual subs. The speaker symbols must be touching each other.

1. Select the desired subwoofers.
2. Right click on one of these subwoofers to open the context menu. Choose the option Combine Speaker Stack.
3. In the dialog that opens, enter the distance between each subwoofer's centre and confirm by clicking OK.

1. Your subwoofers are now combined into a Sub Array. This will appear in the Focus Simulation view from where it can also be controlled.

Make sure that you always load the correct speaker presets from the database if you want to configure a Sub Array offline (i.e. without physically connected subwoofers)!

Controlling a Sub Array

1. Open the Focus Simulation view
2. Your new Sub Array is now shown in the device field with the name Bass. Under Type it will show Bass Stack.
   The Sub Array's ID is shown as a combined ID in the Focus Simulation (2XXX – whereby X stands for the lowest ID of the subwoofers involved).
3. In the beam simulation, the Sub Array is displayed as lines. In a horizontal subwoofer arrangement (i.e. next to each other), the Sub Array's dispersion characteristics are shown as an outline, whereas in a vertical arrangement (on top of each other), they are shown as a longitudinal section.

With regard to the parameter field, the beam characteristic configuration is the same as for other Focus-Series loudspeakers (see sections 4.7.2 and 4.7.3).

5.5 Preset Management

Fohhn Audio Soft has three different types of presets that are totally independent of one another:

1. Speaker Presets
2. Amplifier Presets
3. User Presets

As a user, you can only edit the user presets (denoted as Preset for short in the Fohnn Audio Soft menus). As a starting point for your own user presets, there are numerous templates available, which you can load into the Device List, Devices, Channels and Speakers views.

Please note that you can only edit user presets and that these are totally independent from speaker and amplifier presets! Speaker and amplifier preset settings cannot be saved in user presets – this is in order to protect your loudspeakers.

By default, user presets are saved in the relevant device and not on your computer. It is however advisable to also save these presets separately as external files. This means that you will need to export them.

5.5.1 Exporting Presets

To export a preset, proceed as follows:

1. Load the relevant preset.
2. Go to the File menu and choose Export Preset to File: The Select Device dialog will open.
3. Now select the device from which you want to export the preset, and then click OK.

1. Select a location in which to save the preset and give your user preset a name. Click on Save to confirm your choice.

2. Repeat steps 1 to 4 for all presets that you want to export from any device.

5.5.2 Import Presets

In order to use one of your own presets, stored on an external medium, in a Fohnn device, you will first need to import the preset into the device. Proceed as follows:

1. Go to the File menu and select Import Preset from File.
2. Locate the desired preset then click on Open to confirm your choice.
3. In the Select Devices window, choose the device into which you want to import the preset and confirm by clicking OK.
4. Finally, save the preset to your device. Repeat steps 1 to 4 for any presets that you want to import.

5.6 Projects

A project consists of all the configuration settings for all the devices in a system, including loudspeaker positions and Beam Steering settings, as well as all your configuration settings for a particular project. You can either load existing projects into Fohhn Audio Soft, or save projects that you have created or edited.

Please note that using the command Save Project As will only save the presets that are loaded into individual devices at the time of saving and will not include any the other existing presets in the relevant device.

5.6.1 Save Project as

This lets you save the currently loaded project, which you have either created or edited, to a preferred location. Saved projects can either be reloaded at a later date, or exchanged with other users.

To save your configuration as a project, proceed as follows:

1. Go to the File menu and choose Save Project As.
2. Select the location in which you want to save your project. Click on Open to confirm your choice. The project is now saved.

5.6.2 Load Project

This lets you load an existing project on your computer. To load a project, proceed as follows:

1. Go to the File menu item and select Load Project.

2. Now select the desired project. Click on Load to confirm your choice.

3. In the Load Project dialog window, if the relevant box in the lower right corner is checked, all the existing devices belonging to a project will automatically be selected. This selection can be changed as required if you don't need all of the devices.

1. In the lower left corner of the dialog window you will find three further options:

- Load Devices and Configurations

When this option is active, all devices, along with their respective layout, will be loaded to the GUI in the way that they were saved.

- Load DSP Settings

When this option is active, saved DSP settings (EQ, Dynamic, Focus Simulation etc.) belonging to the project will be loaded and will overwrite the information saved in the devices.

- Load Speaker Presets (if available)

Choose this option if you want to load any saved speaker presets with this project.

1. Click on OK to confirm your choice. The project is now loaded.

5.7 Identifying a Fohhn-Net Device

1. Open the Devices view.

2. Click on Status in the graphic display relating to the device in question.

3. In the opened Status window, click on the Sign button. This button will now be highlighted in blue and on the physical device, the blue front LED will begin to flash. Deactivate the button once the device has been identified.

5.8 Signal Generator

Please ensure that the fader you are using to regulate the level of the test signal is pulled right down before you activate the test signal itself! In certain circumstances, a test signal could play back at excessive levels that might be potentially harmful to you and any other people who are in the same room as the speakers - as well as damaging the speakers themselves.

1. Open the Devices view.

2. Click on Tools in the graphic display relating to the relevant device.

3. In the Tools window, click on the Sine or Noise buttons: The relevant button will now be highlighted in green and either a Sinus tone or Pink Noise will be generated, depending on your choice.

Using the fader you can set the level of the test signal and use the rotary control to set the frequency (if you selected Sine).

For multi-channel devices, select a channel that will be used for playing back the test signal. By pressing the Ctrl key on your computer keyboard, you can simultaneously select several channels at once.

5.9 Changing a Fohn-Net ID

In Fohnn-Net, each ID number must only be used once. Should an ID be used more than once, communication will no longer be possible with any devices that have this number. In this situation, all such devices must be physically separated from one other – either by switching them off, or by removing the network cable – so that no ID is duplicated.

A Fohnn-Net ID can either be changed using the Search Device or Device List view:

1. Select the device on which you want to change the ID. This will now be highlighted in blue.
2. Open the context menu (with a right click) and select Change Fohnn-Net ID.
3. Enter a new ID in the dialog window and confirm your choice by clicking OK.

1. Repeat the process with any other relevant devices.

6.1 Updating Your Firmware

The range of functions in your Fohhn system depends not only on Fohhn Audio Soft, but also on the firmware in your devices and on the loudspeaker database. From time to time, updates are available for these sets of data, which can be downloaded into Fohhn Audio Soft (internet connection required!). An update is performed as follows:

1. Start Fohn Audio Soft by double-clicking on the desktop icon, or using the path Start > All Programs > Fohn Audio AG > Fohn Audio Soft.
2. After the program has started up, click on the Help menu in the Fohnn Audio Soft Menu Bar and choose Update Firmware and Speaker Database (internet connection required!).

Fohn Audio Soft compares your installed version with the one that is currently available on the server and either notifies you that your files are up to date, or offers you a download link for updating.

The above-mentioned process loads the latest Firmware files onto your PC. They will not yet be active on your Fohnn devices!

Proceed as follows to check, or rather update the Firmware on your devices. (This process does not require an internet connection since – as described above - the necessary Firmware files are now already loaded onto your PC):

1. From the Devices menu, select Find Devices in Network. The following dialog will open:

1. Select the device (via mouse click) whose Firmware you want to update and open the following context menu by right clicking:

1. Now click on Firmware update. The following dialog will open:

1. In the Update column, check the box next to the relevant Fohnn device. If a newer Firmware update is available for the device, Fohnn Audio Soft will automatically add an update check.

2. After you have selected all the relevant Fohnn devices, click on Start.

3. The latest Firmware will now be installed on the selected Fohnn devices. This process can take several minutes. The Status column lets you monitor the progress of this process. Once the Firmware is fully installed, it will say ready in this column.

4. Click on Close to complete the process.

A Firmware update will restore the respective device to its factory/default settings. This means that any saved presets will be lost and cannot be recovered. If you still need any of the presets that have been saved on your device, you must first save these with Fohn Audio Soft, in order to restore them to your device later on.

6.2 Amplifier Setup

Using Fohnn Amplifier Setups, you can install your own amplifier presets on certain Fohnn devices. You can find further information on this is in the user manual belonging to the relevant device.

1. Using the Search Device / Network Scan dialog, select a device then choose Amplifier Setup in the context menu.

2. All amplifier presets that currently exist on the device will be detected and listed in the Fohm Amplifier Setup dialog.

Using this list display in the dialog, you can carry out the following functions:

- Save amplifier to file

This command lets you save an amplifier preset from a device as a separate file.

- Load amplifier from file

This command lets you load an amplifier preset that has been saved as a file.

- Edit amplifier

This command opens the Edit Amplifier dialog, which offers you the following options:

○ Amplifier name

Here you can name the preset.

Power Peak 4ohm [W]

Here you can enter the peak power in Watts at 4 Ohm.

○ Gain [dB]

Here you can enter the Gain in dB.

• Measure new amplifier (FC-9 only)

This command is used as a system for measuring your own presets, but it can only be used together with an FC-9 DSP controller. The process of measuring and creating your own amplifier presets is described in the FC-9 user manual.

Even after the amplifier presets are found to be present in a device, you must still load them into the device itself using Fohn Audio Soft.

6.4 Troubleshooting

If you encounter problems when using Fohn Audio Soft together with hardware devices, please check out the following:

Fohhn Audio Soft will not start up.

• Check whether the software has been correctly installed. De-install Fohnn Audio Soft and perform a new installation. On the Fohnn website, check whether there is new version of Fohnn Audio Soft available for download.
• Make sure that the operating system currently installed on your computer is compatible with Fohn Audio Soft.

Fohn Audio Soft does not recognise any devices when searching for them.

• Make sure that the computer is correctly connected to the Fohn-Net Adapter.
• Make sure that the Fohnn device is connected to the Fohnn-Net Adapter.

- In the ID area of the Search Device / Network Scan dialog, change the value range from 1 to 254, in order to find all devices.

There is no sound from the Fohn system.

• Check the status of the hardware in the Device List, Devices, Channels and Speakers views. Make sure that the Speakers/Channels are not muted and that the networked hardware is Online.
• Check the volume level settings in the Devices, Channels and Speakers views.
• Check the settings for the Gate DSP function in the Devices, Channels and Speakers views.
• Check the settings for the X-Over DSP function in the Devices, Channels and Speakers views: It is possible that the upper and lower crossover frequencies are set such that no signal is being transmitted.
• If you have created a speaker group (User-defined Controls > Add Volume Group), check the volume fader setting.
• Check that you have loaded the correct loudspeaker preset for a particular speaker. Loading the wrong preset can result in restricted playback or damage to the loudspeaker or amplifier.

Communication with a device is interrupted.

- Check whether the ID allocated to the device in question is also possibly being used by another device. If this is the case, switch off one of the devices, or isolate it from the other Fohnn-Net devices and allocate a new ID. You can then return it to the Fohnn-Net network.

If your problem has not appeared in the above section, or it has not been rectified after following the suggested solution(s), please contact us at the address on the last page of this manual.

6.5 Remote Configuration

Some devices offer you the possibility to switch presets or adjust volume levels using switching contacts or RS-232 commands. These can be configured as shown below. Please also read the user instructions belonging to your Fohhn-Net remote device.

1. Select your Fohnn-Net device from the Device List in Fohnn Audio Soft and, with a right click, choose Presets. The Fohnn-Net Remote Control Setup window will open:

1. Select a signal, and then right click in the empty space on the right to open the context menu. Using Add New Command -> Preset, you can add a new command for loading presets.

2. Choose a Fohnn-Net ID and a Preset then click OK.

You can configure other signals in a similar way; several commands can be simultaneously implemented for each signal.

Using Write to Device, write the new configuration to your Fohn-Net remote device.

This configuration will not be saved as part of your Fohn Audio Soft project. It must be separately saved using Save to File.
