The RANE HAL3s is a digital processor for audio systems. This groundbreaking architecture is used for room combining, paging and distributing audio to several zones in an installation. Utilizing Halogen® software, even novice users are guided through what used to be complex tasks in just minutes. No intricate matrix mixing or presets are required for room combining and paging. No complex wiring is required to distribute pages and background music to multiple zones. Seamlessly interface HAL to small or large installations with web controls, (no app required) and/or a broad variety of peripheral devices including smart Digital Remotes (DRs), Remote Audio Devices (RADs), portable or rack automixers, small remote amplifiers, and an advanced Paging Station. In addition, the HAL3s Multiprocessor and Halogen™ software check the status, location, CAT 5e wiring integrity, and that audio is flowing in all peripheral devices, so you know your system is properly connected and ready to go.

DRZH Remote Level Control with Source Selector
The DRZH is a wall-mounted digital remote (DR) for use with all Rane multiprocessors, including the new Zonetech audio processor. The DRZH features source selection and level control through the use of a single knob. It has a sleek black glass design, and the OLED display is easy to read in any environment. Connect the DRZH to RANE DSP with a Cat5e (or better) cable for a local run up to 1000 ft (300m) away from the equipment rack.
Each DRZH may be installed onto a standard U.S. 1-gang electrical box.
Zone Pager Tabletop Paging Station
The RANE Zone Pager is a paging station that allows users to page up to (6) zones separately, to (2) groups of zones, and to all zones at the same time. Lights will indicate if the zone is READY or BUSY (already being paged by a higher-priority paging station) and when the chime has completed (if enabled).
Zone Pager is perfect for use in bar/lounge restaurants, meeting rooms, schools, house of worship, and smaller venues where multiple paging zones are needed.
RAD22 Universal Wall RAD
The RAD22 adds flexible I/O capability to RANE DSP systems. It provides two mic and two line inputs via XLR/TRS combination jacks and an 1/8” (3.5mm) stereo line output for monitoring, recording or amplification. Smart muting allows for the disconnecting of XLR and 1/4” cables to prevent disruption to sound systems for hot-swapping of microphones – even with 24V phantom power applied. Connect the RAD22 to RANE DSP with a Cat5e (or better) cable for a local run up to 500 feet (150m) away from the equipment rack.
Each RAD22 may be installed onto a standard U.S. two-gang electrical box, or flush-mounted to a wall surface.
RAD26 One-Room RAD Remote
The RAD26 provides any room with end user control via the color LCD display and rotary encoders. It also features a dual universal audio I/O interface, line-level input jacks for local needs, a headphone output, and a dual 4-watt amp all using using one shielded cat5e (or better) cable drop. Three logic closure inputs and three active-low outputs add to the control capabilities. The built-in amplifier powers a small stereo pair of room speakers, or it can be switched in software to power a single 8-watt speaker. The RAD26 provides enough I/O and control to support one room in a HAL audio system which may require…

DR6 Digital Touchscreen Remote
The DR6 is a fully customizable touchscreen remote for the HAL family. It supports multiple pages or tabs, and any set of levels, toggles, selectors and/or commands. Drag, drop, and resize controls as desired. Ability to use custom background images and logos in full-color on the 7-inch LCD display.
*RPI required for compatibility with the HAL3s
RAD16z Halogen Interface with Dual Inputs / Dual Outputs / Dual Logic I/O
The RAD16z is an alternative to standard switch boxes for impractical areas such as in stage floor pockets or above ceilings. Its form factor is a rugged metal box with flexible surface mounting options. The RAD16z is plenum-rated UL 2043. It contains two balanced Mic / Line / Line-Plus inputs and two balanced line outputs on Euroblock connectors.
RPI Remote Power Injector for DR6 and RAD26
The RPI is a remote powering device for the DR6 Touchscreen Digital Remote and the RAD26 One-Room Remote Audio Device. This power supply is needed when using the DR6 or RAD26 with rackmount HAL units (HAL3s and legacy units). The RPI is connected between the HAL and the peripheral controller using shielded Cat 5e cable (or better), and can be located at any point between the HAL units and the peripherals within a 325ft (100m) maximum distance. It requires 100-240 VAC and utilizes an included standard IEC cable. Its form factor is a rugged metal box, and can be mounted to any flat surface.
AM2 Automixer
The Rane AM2 is both an 8 channel, gain-sharing automatic mic mixer and simultaneously a Rane RAD. Use it as a standalone mic-only mixer, add more gain-shared mics using up to seven additional AM2 Automixers, and/or use the RAD Port to transport the mic mix to Rane’s HAL system.
Each of the eight XLR Mic Inputs offers front panel input Level controls feeding a gain-sharing automatic mixer. Rear panel, 3-position selectors support dynamic mics (no phantom power), condenser mics (48 V), or line input optimized for wireless receiver outputs ( 10 dBu max). All Level controls come with front panel signal and overload indicators.
