MONGOOSE Design Manual SECTION 3: DESIGNING YOUR SYSTEM Now that you have reviewed the basics, you are ready to begin designing this technology into an audio system. The purpose of this chapter is to provide tips and suggestions for incorporating RADs and Mongoose devices into your design. Also included are some sample applications and representative oneline drawings. Our hope is that one of these comes close enough to your situation that you'll have a head start with your own design. After completing this section, you should be well-equipped to create your design documents and construction documents. We'll start with a list of specific recommendations. Tips and Recommendations 1. In your system diagrams, use the Mongoose CAD drawings provided by Rane. Rane provides CAD drawings of the Mongoose hardware (line art of the front and rear panels and shop drawings of a RAD and a Mongoose) for you to use in your drawings. The files are in the .dwg format, a format for AutoCAD. You can get these files from the Rane website, and on the CD that comes with the Mongoose. Also on the website and CD are more detailed color pictures of the hardware in a .jpg format.

Create the Mongoose configuration file during the design phase and provide this file to your installer. We strongly recommend that you create a configuration file during the design process. You do not need any Mongoose hardware to create this file. All you need is the Mongoose Tracker software and a computer running Microsoft Windows® (see page 5). Providing this configuration file to your installers increases the efficiency and accuracy of their work. Simply include this file along with the other drawings and documentation that you give to your installers. See Working with Configuration Files on page 55 for more details. 25

SECTION 3: DESIGNING YOUR SYSTEM
Now that you have reviewed the basics, you are ready to begin designing this technology into an audio
system. °e purpose of this chapter is to provide tips and suggestions for incorporating RADs and
Mongoose devices into your design. Also included are some sample applications and representative one-
line drawings. Our hope is that one of these comes close enough to your situation that you’ll have a head
start with your own design. After completing this section, you should be well-equipped to create your
design documents and construction documents. We’ll start with a list of specific recommendations.
Tips and Recommendations
In your system diagrams, use the Mongoose CAD drawings provided by Rane.
1.
Rane provides CAD drawings of the Mongoose hardware (line art of the front and rear panels and
shop drawings of a RAD and a Mongoose) for you to use in your drawings. °e files are in the .dwg
format, a format for AutoCAD. You can get these files from the
Rane website
, and on the CD that
comes with the Mongoose. Also on the website and CD are more detailed color pictures of the
hardware in a .jpg format. Following are examples of the CAD drawings:

Create the Mongoose configuration file during the design phase and provide this file to your
2.
installer.
We strongly recommend that you create a configuration file during the design process. You do not
need any Mongoose hardware to create this file. All you need is the
Mongoose Tracker software
and a computer running Microsoft Windows® (see page 5). Providing this configuration file to
