Rackmount Digital Audio Monitors
The AR-DM Series are high quality, ultra-nearfield rackmount audio monitoring systems for space critical environments with interchangeable input /
output modules and field-upgradeable
firmware capability. Featuring four models
(two 1RU and two 2RU units), the AR-DM Series
digital rackmount audio monitors are ideal for
TV facilities, studios, post production, VCR
bays, mobile production vehicles, satellite
links, and wherever multichannel audio
monitoring is required. All models support
16 audio channels with four slots available for
interchangeable input / output modules. The
AR-DM series provides pristine audio quality
and unrivaled flexibility with 100% digital
processing, Class D (digital) amplification,
selectable stereo downmix modes, Dolby Digital / Dolby E decoding capability (with optional Dolby E module), a1/4” headphone jack with Level
control, and an RS-485 port for on-site firmware upgrades.
The AR-DM1 provides tri-color LEDs for monitoring signal presence and system status while the AR-DM1-B and AR-DM2-B provide 10 and 20-segment
tri-color bargraphs respectively. Both VU and peak metering are supported. Channel, Group, Mix, Dolby, Balance selection, and saved configurations
are easily accessed via the system’s large navigation buttons. For audio playback, 1RU units (AR-DM1 and AR-DM1-B) provide two magnetically-shielded
loudspeakers, while the 2RU models (AR-DM2-B and AR-DM2-L) provide larger, high performance speakers and a subwoofer.
The flagship AR-DM2-L provides dual 4” high resolution 640 x RGB x 480 LCD monitors capable of displaying a wealth of information, including a high
contrast, tri-color 16-bargraph display in one window while showing critical Metadata or Channel Status information in the other.
