Powersoft has announced that new version 2.3 of ArmoníaPlus software, providing a major update that’s designed to provide system designers and integrators with more granular control of the company’s Dynamic Music Distribution (DMD), is now available to download from the company website (here).
DMD offers the ability to scale inputs and zones efficiently with dynamic routing capabilities embedded on Powersoft’s amplifier platforms. This is designed to make it simpler to dynamically route music and other signal sources along with control signals between different zones and across multiple amplifiers, all independently of source location and without the need for a centralized DSP.
ArmoníaPlus v2.3 includes tools to select groups of loudspeakers within a zone to create sub-zones with their own audio level controls. While the audio source is common for all, the audio level of each sub-zone can be individually adjusted by the user via any of the Powersoft control interfaces, such as the WM Touch and Sys Control App.
The upgrade also applies to WM Touch in delivering usability improvements and the option to separately assign mute and level controls to zones. This means, for example, that it’s now possible to configure the WM Touch to control the level of a zone while not allowing users to mute it.
“We are really excited to announce a complete revamp of the Sys Control App,” adds Powersoft UX design specialist Luigi Chelli. “It packs powerful new features to fine tune a running system and an improved interface for a better overall experience. Instead of simply adding more buttons, we fulfilled the requests of our users by creating something more enjoyable, with a slick touch-friendly approach.”
An overview of the v2.3 upgrade:
— New version of the Sys Control App: (iOS and Android): usability improvements, new system control capabilities, and simplified configuration and access.
— Separation of zone mute and level controls in the WM Touch: users can now set the WM Touch to independently control the level or mute of a given zone.
— Usability improvement to the WM Touch firmware.
— Sub-zones for DMD systems: users are now able to control groups of loudspeakers within a zone.
— Limitation to audio level controls in DMD systems; users can define the minimum and maximum permissible audio levels for a given zone or sub-zone.
— Introduction of DMD system on/off via GPI: it is now possible to turn the entire system on/off remotely via GPI.
The ArmoníaPlus, Sys control app, and WM Touch updates are strictly related to DMD, which will be highlighted at the company’s main booth at ISE in Barcelona this coming May (Hall 7, booth 7M700).
