The RPM 2 provides two balanced, line-level analog inputs and two balanced
analog outputs, each I/O having its own 100% user-defined signal processing
path.
Cost-effective end user control is possible using optional Rane
accessories in conjunction with the Versatile Input Port. Whether your
application requires contact closure Preset recall or remote level control
using a potentiometer on a wall, the RPM 2 keeps the user interface easy and
inexpensive.
Euroblock connectors are provided for audio and logic.
I/O. Grounding screws for direct connection to the metal chassis are
provided for solving EMI problems due to shield wiring. Also found on the
rear panel is an RJ-45 Ethernet connector for computer control, and an IEC
AC power input.
All DSP algorithms are not created equally and textbook DSP algorithms
miss the mark where the rubber meets the road. Rane's team of audio-savvy
DSP mathematicians -- a rare breed itself -- in conjunction with our
industry-leading analog signal processing gurus have combined forces to
offer superlative digital and analog audio performance. With 24-bit
converters, greater than 104 dB throughput dynamic range and
double-precision 48-bit internal DSP 'math,' the RPM 2 offers the best DSP
algorithms and audio performance available. See the RaneNote "Superior
Audio Requires Fixed-Point DSPs" for more information, available from
the Rane website.
This ain't no Internet appliance! For example, the RPM 2's 215 MIPs
translate into 150 fully parametric EQ filters, should you need multiple
channels of 15 band parametrics and nothing else.
Multiple units are controlled from a single computer using low-cost
Ethernet switches. The recessed Default button on the rear panel recalls
Preset 1 in case of communications failure. The front panel has three-color
LED meters for each input and output, allowing fast and intuitive signal
flow verification without a computer. Control Port, Power, Ethernet and
Status indicators are also on the front panel. Powered from an internal
power supply and certified as UL, CSA and CE complient, the RPM 2 is
compatible with any installation mandating agency compliance.
