Blaze - The installer's dream
15-11-24
Blaze Audio specializes in pro audio solutions for fixed installations. Their products combine power, reliability and easy installation. These are just 3 important points that are expected in the professional market for commercial audio installations. In terms of amplification, the PowerZone Control software is their showpiece.
PowerZone Control
PowerZone Control is a web application integrated into the firmware of the PowerZone Connect amplifiers. This software is very intuitive so that you can apply the most important settings for the configuration of an audio or voice system without extensive knowledge of DSP controllers.
A web application?
In concrete terms, this means that no software installation is required and the entire operation is done in an internet browser, which can be done on your computer, tablet or smartphone.
What do you need to do for this? You connect the amplifier to a network (this can be done wired or via wifi) or you use the hotspot mode for a direct connection when there is no network available. You surf to a specific address for access to the amplifier and everything you change is immediately applied to the amplifier.
What can you change?
First you start with the configuration of the routing. This is saying how you will use the inputs, the zones you want to provide with audio and to which outputs these should be linked.
In terms of DSP you can adjust the following settings:
On the inputs you have a Gain/Trim function and an EQ.
On the zones you can apply a Compressor in addition to the volume, priority and restrictions.
The outputs have the largest range of settings such as Delay, EQ, Crossover, FIR, Polarity and Limiter. You can also save settings as a preset for later use or import the Blaze speaker presets (downloadable from their website).
Want to know more?
Blaze provides a online simulator of the web application so you can try out the software without a device. In addition to the simulator, they also have a YouTube channel where they go over all the functions and possibilities in detail.
