CAFÉ (Configuring Amplifiers For the Environment) is
a dedicated software application for Windows and OSX
that allows PLM+ amplifiers to be easily configured and
monitored.
In addition to providing comprehensive system surveillance
and configuration of RPM and other amplifier features
such as ISVPL and Breaker Emulation Limiter (BEL), CAFÉ
also includes valuable help to save the environment. In
combination with the RPM configuration CAFÉ can accurately
predict, based on the true SPL and speaker requirements
of the individual loads for the given project, estimations of
average mains current draw and generated heat in BTU. With
PLM+ Series’ innovative power supply technologies (true
Power Factor Correction utilizing Current Draw Modelling)
the required mains draw is already best in class in relation
to burst power output, but in combination with the BEL
the mains draw can also be safeguarded to the predicted
level. The end result is precise mains management and
thermal control, which allows more accurate (rather than
over-specified) provision of mains distribution, cabling and
cooling. This technology suite reduces lifetime running
costs and minimizes environmental impact. It also reduces
demands on UPS systems.
CAFÉ also features an innovative design aid: the Equipment
Specification Predictor (ESP). ESP examines the system
SPL and speaker requirements for a given project and
aids in transforming that data into circuit and amplifier
channel requirements. On a system level, CAFÉ supplies
a recommendation for optimized placement of channels
into amplifiers for the most cost effective solution. The
recommendation includes model and quantities of PLM+
Series required with most rational use of amplifiers,
minimizing wasted headroom.
