The following are all Harman Pro software applications which use the Harman HiQnet protocol to communicate with the hardware devices they configure and control.

Note - Harman HiQnet is not a software application itself, it is an underlying technology which makes communication between these software packages and HiQnet devices possible.

HiQnet System Architect™ 2

System Architect 2 features a new system design philosophy centered on workflow and the use of a diagrammatic representation of the installed or live sound venue. Devices are arranged by both their physical and logical placement allowing the designer to 'educate' System Architect about how they are to be used. In return the software is able to provide automation of many of the laborious system design tasks for free. For example, once the user has defined the layout of the venue and informed the software about which areas of it the amplifier outputs logically serve, System Architect provides embedded control panels which are automatically tied to the correct devices and provide source-selection, level, mute and metering, instantly accessible for each user-defined space, directly from the main Venue View.

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.
