rotary encoder, with clear LED indication
of the current selection. On the RM-2S10,
the Source LEDs also act as signal present
indicators. A pair of line-level audio outputs,
congurable as analogue or AES/EBU
digital, follow the selected source at
either a xed level or one mirroring the
loudspeaker volume.
The level of the chosen source is displayed on
a pair of bright, multicoloured 53-segment
bargraph meters, with a choice of seven
accurately modelled scales/responses to suit
dierent applications and local preferences.
Clear scale labels are provided for you to
chose the scale displayed and the meter
brightness can be adjusted from the front
panel. A separate phase meter indicates
channel correlation or phase error conditions.
On the rear panel, open-collector alarm
outputs provide hardware indication of
sustained underlevel, overlevel, phase errors
and digital source lock.
Six illuminated pushbuttons provide
access to a range of audio ‘modiers’ –
instant dimming of the volume, individual
muting of each audio channel, stereo-
to-mono conversion, phase inversion
and Middle+Side transcoding. On the
rear panel, logic-level inputs allow direct
remote access to the DIM and MUTE
functions.
The three-way loudspeaker system is fed
via a DSP-based active crossover and a
trio of highly ecient Class-D ampliers.
Careful attention to driver selection,
materials and case design, plus active DSP
equalisation, has ensured a at response
and outstanding reproduction from such a
shallow unit. A protective limiter prevents
damage to the loudspeakers under
overload conditions and the front-panel
headphone socket automatically mutes the
internal loudspeakers when a plug
is inserted.
A Balance control allows you to alter the stereo
imaging of the left and right channels.
A further ve-band parametric equaliser can
be accessed for room-equalisation purposes
via Sonifex SCi Windows-based remote control
software. Source selection, status monitoring
and unit ID functions, plus rmware updates
to add extra functionality, are all accessible
remotely via both USB and RS232 connections
in conjunction with Sonifex SCi software.
The open control protocol also allows
operation with terminal programs or
customised applications.
Optional additions to the RM-2S4 and
RM-2S10 include HD video input expansion
cards, allowing multiple AES groups
embedded within an HD-SDI or SD-SDI signal
to be de-embedded and monitored.
Both RM-2S4 and RM-2S10 units operate from
global mains voltages (85-264V AC, 47-63Hz)
without adjustment.
