SIGNAL MONITORING FACILITIES

As previously explained, the heart of the RAM System 2000 is its

microprocessor controlled, ladder type attenuator. This can be accessed in 2

ways:

• Using the Red Level Knob: As in any traditional monitoring system.

Fully clockwise it performs at unity gain (maximum level) whilst

reducing it in 1dB steps up to 64. After this the unit turns Mute on.

• Using the LEVEL PRESET OPTIONS: The RAM System 2000 has the

ability to store 2 different level presets, which override the Red Level

knob position. Pressing SHIFT + OUT3 (Level Preset) will ask for which

of the 2 presets wants to be stored (1 or 2). Confirmation is given by

pressing the corresponding key, OUT1 (Level Preset 1) or OUT2

(Level Preset2).Pressing SHIFT + OUT1 (Level Preset1) will make the

monitoring level that of the stored preset, same for preset 2.

ADDITIONAL MONITORING FEATURES

The RAM System has the usual MUTE, DIM and MONO functions often found

in this type of units with expanded flexibility as follows:

• MUTE: Global Mute, equivalent to rotary knob all fully counter

clockwise.

• MUTE L, MUTE SUB and MUTE R: Individual Mute functions per

speaker. Pressing SHIFT + any individual MUTE will function as a

SOLO for that given speaker.

• DIM: Attenuates further 20 dB from the attenuation marked by

either the red knob or the level preset.

• MONO: Accessible as SHIFT + MUTE, it outputs a mono signal to the

selected output.
