Next to controlling and monitoring, the RCM-24 Remote Control module provides comprehensive
signal processing functions. It includes a total of 20 parametric filter–, X-over functions, delays, routing
and level control as well as compressors and limiters per channel. All parameters can be freely edited
and stored in the module’s 8 user presets. Independent from network control all DSP-settings (filter,
delay, level) are maintained in case of failure. Additionally, the control inputs of the power amps can be
used for network-independent switching to another preset (e.g. alarm settings with maximum energy
for voice and text announcements).
Therefore, P-Series amps with RCM-24 modules installed fulfil even the highest safety requirements.
When designing the RCM-24, uncompromising audio quality was the highest maxim. AD/DA-
conversion is performed at a resolution of 24-bit and 128-times oversampling with linear phase; the
internal word length is 48 bits. With this the RCM-24‘s dynamic range reaches 115 dB, which is an
absolute peak value for digital audio appliances.
All configuration, control and monitoring details of P-Series power amps are explained in the
documentation accompanying the PC Windows software IRIS.
UNPACKING & WARRANTY
Carefully open the packaging and take out the power amplifier. Next to the power amplifier itself, the
package also includes this owner’s manual, the warranty certificate, four stand-feet, six screw-on
connectors (1x 2-pole, 4x 3-pole, 1x 6-pole) plus a set of rack shelf mounting adapters. Please inspect
carefully whether all information in the warranty certificate has been filled in completely, since only a
completely filled in warranty certificate entitles you to stake any warranty claims. The appliance comes
with a 36 months warranty, starting with the date when receiving the good from your dealer. Therefore,
keep the original invoice together with the warranty certificate at a safe place.
INSTALLATION NOTES
Generally, installing or mounting power amps should be carried out in a way that guarantees
continuously unopposed front-to-rear air circulation. When including an appliance in a closed cabinet
or rack shelf system make sure to provide sufficient ventilation. Leave a gap of at least 60mm x
330mm (up to the cabinet’s top ventilation louvers) for air circulation between the rear of the power
amplifier and the cabinet’s/rack’s rear wall. Make sure to leave at least 100mm of space above the
cabinet or rack shelf system. Since the temperature inside of the cabinet or rack shelf system can
easily rise up to 40°C during operation, bearing in mind the maximally allowable environmental
temperature during operation for all other appliances installed in the same rack shelf system is
mandatory.
(also refer to “MAINS OPERATION & RESULTING TEMPERATURE”)
The use of rails or optionally available rack
adapters is mandatory as well when installing
the appliance in a rack shelf system to
prevent the front panel from bending.
Caution: For problem-free operation exceeding the maximally allowable environmental
temperature or +40°C is not permissible.
The power amplifier has to be protected against: dripping or splashing water, direct sunlight, high
temperatures or direct influence of heat sources, high humidity, extensive dust and vibrations.
Condensation on internal parts may occur after transporting the power amplifier from a cold into a
warmer environment. In that case operation is only permissible after the appliance has gained the
new temperature (after approximately one hour). If foreign objects or liquids have entered the power
amplifier’s enclosure make sure to instantly separate the appliance from the mains power and contact
an authorised DYNACORD service centre for inspection before continuing operation.
Do not use any sprays or solvents for cleaning the appliance, because they might severely damage
the surface of the enclosure or lead to dangerous fire hazard.
