Configuration To configure the FC-9 the Fohhn Audio Soft V3.0 or later and Fohhn- Net Remote Control Software V1.4 or later is indispensable. For connecting the it to a PC the Fohhn-Net Adaptor NA-1 is necessary. Amplifier calibration function CAS Perfect adaptation to all standard amplifiers through automatic calibration function CAS and integral amplifier database. The FC-9 must have access to the amplifier data (amplification, maximum output voltage) in order to provide maximum protection for your speakers. The FC-9 gives you the option of storing the data of up to 100 amplifiers and then retrieving this data again when required. The FC-9 can automatically calculate the corresponding performance data for any amplifier. The measured values appear on the display, can be edited if necessary and then stored under a separate name. You can then load the stored data to all 6 output channels. Needless to say, you can assign a separate amplifier to each output channel. You can then load the stored data to all 6 output channels. Needless to say, you can assign a separate amplifier to each output channel. When an amplifier preset is loaded, the performance data is calculated with reference to the speaker data and the multiband limiter on the FC-9 is set automatically.

The intuitive operating concept Net Remote-Series The intuitive Fohhn operating concept incorporates cable connected and wireless remote control options for fixed and mobile Fohhn sound systems. The remote control devices are extremely user-friendly and give the user complete control over the audio system from a central location. Individual devices and entire systems can be operated synchronously from one of several devices, opening up a whole range of different application possibilities. All Fohhn active speaker systems, DSP amplifiers and DSP controllers are equipped with two Fohhn-Net network interfaces as standard, which can be used to monitor and remotely operate each individual device. If you are using several Fohhn devices, you can easily interlink and monitor or remotely operate them from a central location. The Fohhn-Net system is nothing more than a control network, no audio data is transferred, only control data. Fohhn-Net can operate a maximum of 254 devices simultaneously via cable at distances of up to 1800 m. At live events, you can use any available microphone cable or your multicore and for fixed installations, you can use conventional telephone or network cables. Bus or star networks are also an option here. A circular cabling arrangement will achieve additional redundancy and ensure that the star network will function correctly if interrupted at any point. The Fohhn-Net was designed in line with established industrial standards and is very reliable due to a stable transfer protocol and permanent monitoring (continuous feedback during data transfer).
