Standard amplifiers combined with Fohhn controllersStandard amplifiers / 100V amplifiers / multichannel amplifiers combined with Fohhn FC-9 DSP system controller.All Fohhn® speaker systems can be operated in combination with standard amplifiers (e.g. Bittner amplifiers). Each Fohhn speaker model has a linear design, neutral sound adaptation function and is fitted with an integrated crossover with electronic tweeter protection.

We recommend integrating the FC-9 Fohhn DSP system controller for applications involving standard multichannel amplifiers, 100V amplifiers or monitored amplifiers according to EN 60849.The FC-9 guarantees maximum sound quality, operational reliability and performance features that no other standard controller can offer in combination with our Fohhn speakers.

The FC-9 has 8 input contacts. The inputs can be utilized to switch between the different presets of the FC-9, as well as other Fohhn-Net devices. For instance, a FC-9 preset and a preset of an active Subwoofer can simultaneously be switched with one FC-9 input connector. To achieve this, the active subwoofer must be connected to the FC-9 via the Fohhn-Net interfaces. With two inputs and two pushbuttons (shutters) connected to them, a volume control can be realized as well.The input contacts which are activated by opening both contacts from one input or connecting them with one another. Push buttons and switches can be connected to the input contacts.Button connected: the button can load a certain preset (closes contact) or control the volume (increase volume) when pressed.Switch connected: two different presets can be loaded by actuating the switch (contact closes / opens).The 8 input switching contacts can be easily configurate via Fohhn-Net Remote Control Software by the installer.

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 am-plifiers 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 chan-nel.You can then load the stored data to all 6 output channels. Needless to say, you can assign a separate amplifier to each output chan-nel.When an amplifier preset is loaded, the performance data is calcu-lated with reference to the speaker data and the multiband limiter on the FC-9 is set automatically.

ConfigurationTo 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 con-necting the it to a PC the Fohhn-Net Adaptor NA-1 is necessary.

Remote control and network ability of Fohhn devices with integrated DSP

remote control wall panel designed for the remote operation of Fohhn devices with integrated DSP.

The FR-10 is a wall mount remote control module designed for the remote operation of Fohhn DSP amplifiers, DSP controllers and ac-tive Fohhn speakers systems. The FR-10 is extremely easy to operate because the controls are so well arranged. It is virtually impossible for the end customer to make operating errors because the only operating elements are the 8 labelled buttons.

DescriptionControl up to 32 Fohhn devices individually with this stylish FR-10 wall panel. 8 programmable buttons can be configured to control the overall volume of a system, the volume in different zones or presets for different room effects, for example. The system also has a special function that confirms whether all commands have been executed successfully. The buttons indicate this by changing red or green shortly after they are pressed. For example, if a device is not switched on, the button changes red to indicate that a command could not be executed. This additional monitoring function ultima-tely contributes to the overall operating reliability of your system. The wall panel is easy to configure using a standard computer with intuitive Fohhn-Net Remote software installed.

The intuitive operating concept

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 de-vices 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 cab-ling arrangement will achieve additional redundancy and ensure that the star network will function correctly if inter-rupted 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 (conti-nuous feedback during data transfer).
