New: HiQnet Band Manager™
The brand new HiQnet Band Manager™ software lets you turn the power of the Crown XTi amplifier loose while greatly simplifying system setup and management.
A smaller, streamlined version of HiQnet System Architect, Band Manager uses the same XTi software plug in, but gets your amps configured with more speed and less work because it's tailored specifically to portable systems. Once it's automatically discovered up to eight USB-connected XTi amps, represented in a virtual rack, the included JBL speaker tunings can be easily loaded into each amplifier. Band Manager features a sleek function-driven interface and intuitive browser-style navigation. The Home screen automatically configures and displays monitor strips for each amp in the rack plus front-of-house EQ and level control, and allows you to quickly access each amp's processing. Once you've set up your system, the amp settings can be saved for quick recall from the front panel. If you need more advanced control, any rack configurations saved in Band Manager can be opened in System Architect.
Band Manager has been designed to connect to USB HiQnet devices and currently functions with Crown XTi series amplifiers.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Any Crown XTi Series amplifier manufactured before September 19, 2006 or having a serial number lower then 800129400 will require a firmware update. For amplifiers built after this date, the firmware has already been loaded at the factory. The amplifier will communicate with Band Manage without any need for any update. The manufacture date and serial number can be found on the rear of the unit.
For instructions on updating these units please download this PDF.
The Firmware update itself can be downloaded here.
