JBL has released v1.1 of its HiQnet Performance Manager, adding support for the Crown VRack 4x3500 and updated JBL V5 Preset Data.
‘Harman’s ambition for JBL HiQnet Performance Manager is that it should make the complex simple and enable better sounding performance audio systems to be designed and deployed more efficiently and economically,’ says Adam Holladay, Harman System Development and Integration Group Market Manager. ‘With the release of v1.1, we’re making JBL HiQnet Performance Manager more inclusive and valuable to our customers for theatre, worship, and corporate and all live sound applications.’
JBL HiQnet Performance Manager reduces design time, simplifies networking and automates control interface configuration. With expert system design knowledge embedded in the software, the system disguises the complexity of system configuration and guides even the less-experienced user through the process so as to achieve a more optimal result than otherwise possible.
