Product Overview
The RMX digital is a low profile, digitally-con-
trolled, routable audio console that sits in a coun-
tertop cutout. Framesizes with 12, 20 or 28 con-
trol strips are available. The console can operate
in a stand-alone capacity or, for maximum flex-
ibility and usability, be integrated with a VistaMax
Audio Management System.
A separate Console Display, with two stereo bar-
graph meters, an ESE/SMPTE-compatible Clock
and Event Timer, is included. The display sits on
the countertop near the mainframe and plugs into
the frame using a captive six-foot cable harness.
The console is designed for 24/7 operation. It
has two power connections, with integral coupler,
for a main and a redundant supply (PRE99-1205).
One supply is included with the mainframe.
All RMX digital components (console, display,
and power supply) are convection cooled for com-
pletely silent operation.
RMX digital circuit board electronics are con-
tained within an aluminum chassis for strength
and RFI immunity. All user connections are made
from the top surface. The connectors, and cable
access openings, are located below a hinged cue
speaker panel behind the main control surface.
Each RMX
digital mainframe (and the rack-
mount RMX d8-HL) comes standard with a KSU
Card that has these connections:
• Four program and one send output (each has a
dedicated analog and an AES digital output)
• Analog control room outputs (for a monitor amp,
and for operator and guest headphone amps) *
• Analog studio outputs (for a monitor amp, and
for host and guest headphone amps) *
