The Most Powerful Pro Audio Processor on the Market The N8000-1500 represents that state of the art for pro audio signal processing.  Based on the technology inside the Electro-Voice NetMax N8000, this technology has proven itself time and again in the most demanding installations and live performances. Ranging from The World Cup to Live-8, from the Houston Rodeo to Kenny Chesney’s ground breaking tours, NetMax has established itself as a proven, road worthy tool that can take even the most state of the art PA systems to the next level. Now, NetMax itself advances to the next level with the N8000-1500.  At the heart of the N8000-1500 is the new DSP-2 engine.  Composed of three dual-core processors, the DSP-2 expands the total processing power of the N8000-1500 to 1500 MIPS.  But it doesn’t stop there-the unique modular nature of NetMax’s means that each input or output card that is added to a chassis provides an additional DSP engine and another 100 MIPS of processing power.  This means that a fully loaded chassis provides 1900 MIPS of processing-almost double the power of the original N8000.  Combined with the optional CobraNet interface, NetMax’s unique monitoring and supervision options, FIR-Drive, and the multitude of control options provided by IRIS-Net, the N8000-1500 represents the most powerful pro audio processor on the market!   Superior Audio Performance The highest level of audio applications demand the highest audio performance, and NetMax delivers.  High quality audio converters deliver a stunning dynamic range of 114 dB from analog input to analog output, including all signal processing.  The pristine signal path ensures that audio remains pure and uncolored for the most accurate signal processing and reproduction.  However, NetMax addresses other considerations for live audio applications, such as latency.  The N8000-1500’s autocompiling DSP engine provide a fixed latency of 2.19 ms from analog input to analog outputs, far less than may competitive products.   FIR-Drive IRIS-Net has always provided new and unique solutions for the pro sound market, providing tools, customization and control that no other system can touch.  EV’s latest innovation is FIR-Drive technology and line array control platform within IRIS-Net.  The N8000-1500 brings the FIR processing power required to handle the highly sophisticated and detailed processing for today’s sophisticated line array systems for the ultimate in performance, sound quality and pattern control.

The RCM-810 Remote Control Module is an optional module for supervision and remote control of power amplifiers. RCM-810 modules allow the amplifiers to be integrated into a remote control network with up to 100 devices. Up to 250 amplifiers can be used in an IRIS-Net project when multiple networks are used. Apart from the network port, the RCM-810 also offers freely programmable control inputs and control outputs.The RCM-810 modules allows IRIS-Net to configure, control and monitor a complete PA-system from a single or from several PCs. Any operational statuses such as power-on, temperature, activation of protections, deviation of the output impedance, etc., are centrally recorded and displayed, which offers the opportunity to react and correct the problem even before the occurrence of critical operational states. All parameters, such as power-on/off, mute etc. are controlled in real-time and can be stored in any power amplifier. Monitoring the connected loudspeaker systems is performed by continuously measuring output currents and voltages of individual power amplifier channels. Each exceeding or falling short of set thresholds is instantly signaled and logged. In this way,short-circuits or line interruptions, as they might occur during normal operation, are recognized and displayed immediately.Furthermore, the RCM-810 provides a control port with freely programmable control inputs and control outputs. Control inputs (GPI's) allow the connection of switches. IRIS-Net offers the possibility to program a variety of logic functions for the inputs. Control outputs (GPO's) allow the connection of external components, which, for example, are used to signal specific states to peripheral equipment. Additionally, the RCM-810 allows access to and configuration of the VLD (Variable Load Drive) feature in the multichannel CPS4.5, CPS4.10 and CPS8.5 amplifiers, which allow the user to tailor the amplifier’soutput power to match every load from 2 Ohms up to 10 Ohms insteps of 0.1 Ohms.
