Hi. I've done what you suggested and redownloaded the problematic file after deleting, but the same crash still occurs. I also tried verifying the game files in Steam and it marked 3 files as bad and redownloaded them, yet the same error keeps coming back. I haven't been able to play in two weeks.becaude of this recurring crash. Also, mine is slightly different. It just says unknown file version (audio\ship\general_stream.mstr).

AES67 is a technical standard designed to allow audio over IP and audio over Ethernet interoperability between different networking systems. All Powersoft amplifiers featuring a Dante card and all the DPS+ models can be configured to work with AES67 audio streams.

The following table (Table 1) lists the compatibilities of Duecanali, Quattrocanali, and Mezzo series amplifiers to the Dante protocol and AES67 streams and the support to Dynamic Music Distribution systems:

The Dante modules in Powersoft amplifiers operate with their own dedicated firmware. To ensure a correct configuration of AES67, it is recommended that all modules are running the latest Dante firmware.

For best practice, it is recommended that static multicast IP addresses are always used for Q-SYS AES67 Transmitter flows, as it will make the network routing more reliable. This is specially the case when devices are restarted and/or put in a different network, causing the IP addresses to change and the routing to be lost.

Zeroconf is a protocol that automatically set IP addressing on every networked device when computers or network peripherals are interconnected. It does not require manual operator intervention or special configuration servers.

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network protocol for dynamically distributing network configuration parameters. With DHCP, each networked device retrieves its IP address and networking parameters automatically from a DHCP server, reducing the need for a network administrator or a user to configure these settings manually.

In order to reduce addressing mismatch, Powersoft suggests switching the amplifiers and DSPs on AFTER the DHCP becomes completely operating within the network. Differently, the system could set its own IP address in Auto IP mode ignoring the DHCP: this may rule out the device from the network.

The above operation will automatically enable the amplifier to receive AES67 streams, and in most circumstances, this is the only necessary configuration. However, some amplifiers can also be set to transmit AES67 audio streams over the Dante network.

The following application notes are applicable to Q-SYS and Powersoft amplifiers connections via an AES67 network. Powersoft has also made a series of free plug-ins and communication protocols available for the control of amplifiers directly from the Q-SYS Designer platform. For more information and to access these tools, please email our technical support team at suppor...@powersoft.com.

The operation above assumes that Dante streams are present in the network, therefore, any network switch in place must be configured to work with a Dante network, i.e. with the DSCP parameters shown in Figure 3.

Static IP addressing gives the user complete control over device addressing on the network. In order to account for a device on the network, a network administrator or a user must manually configure the IP address and network parameters of the apparatus.

When connecting two devices in Dante Controller, a unicast transmit flow is automatically created by default from the transmitter to the receiver. However, AES67 connections only utilise multicast flows, as this is a universal communication method used by most network systems. Therefore, it is necessary to create a multicast flow for the channels of the AES67 transmitting device.

Adapter Board Insertion and connection
Insert the adapter board into the spare SIMM connector of the chosen module, move it into a vertical position and screw it to hexagonal stand-offs, making sure the clips are well inserted.

Yes, with the new .spk3, you can add your custom images as well as add MEQs and enter useful data for the final customer. Further information can be found inside the DSP of an amplifier such as the X Series on the part: Speaker configuration.

Go to Tune > Shading.
Shading Until now, every sound system would lose its relative gain adjustment when pushed into limiting (being the thresholds defined just by the presets): the result was a ruined dispersion pattern, that was intentionally shaped with carefully chosen gain adjustments. Gradient or EndFire subwoofer arrays suffered heavily from this problem too, losing their effectiveness. With the shading function, ArmonaPlus can reduce the gain and the loudspeaker limiter thresholds at the same time, keeping the balance between the elements even if the system is limiting, making pattern implosion a nightmare of the past. Overall dB boost/attenuation including Group, Gain and Shading contribute are displayed in square brackets. Relative mode is available too.

Is the new ArmoniaPlus monitoring and measurement system, which allows you to accurately monitor each amplifier, speakers, and in-and-out signals. Furthermore you allow yourself to measure a lot of information for analysis.

MEQ are a set of equalizations that the manufacturer develops for a speaker or a series of speakers to compensate low frequencies (Speakers coupling) to compensate the air loss (Long, medium, short throw) and for Low / High Contourn equalization or for musical styles.

Physical connection to a Dante network is done via regular Cat5e (or higher) wiring. If a switch is used, special attention should be given to its capabilities, as certain products are not compatible with Dante Networks.

Powersoft amplifiers connected to the Dante network will automatically obtain IP addresses by default, and in most circumstances, there is no need to change the address settings. However, static IP addresses can be assigned if necessary.

Please note that when Powersoft amplifiers are set to automatically obtain IP addresses, Dante Controller must be running on a host computer also configured to obtain IP addresses automatically. Likewise, for static IP address configurations, fixed IP addresses must be assigned to both the host computer and the amplifier, with both devices operating within the same subnet.

All Powersoft amplifiers featuring a Dante card can be set up to send and/or receive audio on a Dante network. This type of connection utilises standard IP networks to transmit high-quality, uncompressed audio, with near-zero latency.

In a Dynamic Music Distribution system, the configuration must be done using ArmonaPlus and source patching will be automatically managed by the DMD itself (see Dynamic Music Distribution Desing Guide for more info).

The Dante modules in Powersoft amplifiers operate with their own dedicated Firmware. It is recommended that all modules in a Dante environment are always updated, i.e., running the latest firmware not just on the amplifiers, but in all the connected devices. This best practice will help to improve system performance and compatibility.

Powersoft amplifiers may feature one or two Dante ethernet ports. Amplifiers with a single Dante port also feature an additional standard Ethernet port, with each port operating independently from one another. In amplifiers where two Dante ports are available (labeled primary and secondary), it is possible to switch between different operation modes:

All Powersoft amplifiers with two Dante ports are set to operate in switched mode by default. When changing from split or redundant modes back to switched mode, two different networks may be unintentionally bridged causing problems such as uncontrolled network flooding.

DEVA allows to connect an external speaker, or an external device can trigger an event or interact directly with DEVA. For example, you can connect a DEVA passive as external speaker, or a SOS station provided of speaker and microphone allows to do a SIP calling in case of emergency or triggering an event.

Find below the pin-out wiring for the DEVA GPI phoenix 6 poles connector, Aux output phoenix 2 poles connector, and Aux input Jack 3.5 TRS connector. These are located on the back control panel of DEVA; you have to remove the cover by unscrewing the 4 Allen screws using the 3125 Allen key.

This kind of wiring can be useful if you want to feed with DEVA an additional external audio diffusion driven by an audio device with Line Input (for example a mixer). Take care to not connect the Aux output directly to an external audio device without the advised attenuation adapter, since it is a powered output, you may break the input stage without attenuating the voltage in the output.

Please note that the last row is bold to highlight that it defines a group of Deva: if you call the 200 Devas, the Deva with the number 101 and the Deva with the number 102 will both answer to the call, and you will speak on both.

The SIP function needs a license. To buy the license, contact the Powersoft sales office. After you purchased the license, you have to send an email to suppor...@powersoft.com containing the Deva serial number and MAC address. You can find them on the Device Settings page of the DSM (Deva System Manager) web interface as shown in the picture below:

The Deva now is like a SIP telephone with its number. You can call it and what you say will be played by the Deva like a hand free system. The Deva internal microphone is currently disabled so you cannot hear a person in front of the Deva. To do this you need at optional Box installed at man height with a speaker and microphone and a call button (useful like SOS button), to ensure privacy. Below a couple of examples.

Draw the line that defines the gate by moving the circle grip on the corners. If you click on a line, a new grip will appear to better draw the gate. You can also define if you want to detect the people that cross the line in the IN direction or in the OUT direction or BOTH.
