Owner’s Manual
Option Card
Each option card features a different communications format, such as AVB or
Dante, but all cards share the other facilities. The AVB card is provided by default.
AVB (Audio Video Bridging) is an extension to the Ethernet standard designed
to provide what network geeks call “quality of service,” which simply means a
guarantee that audio samples reach their destinations on time. AVB has been
adopted by numerous audio companies, and more are adding it all the time.
Ports include:
Ethernet: This standard RJ45 port provides wired control and AVB audio transport.
S/PDIF Output: The main L/R mix is routed to this
coaxial S/PDIF digital audio output.
FireWire s800: Two FireWire s800 (IEEE 1394b) ports allow you to connect a
computer for audio recording and playback or daisy-chaining additional FireWire
devices. If your computer has a Thunderbolt port but not a FireWire s800 port, you
can use the Thunderbolt port with the
Apple Thunderbolt to FireWire adapter
.
Note:
You can connect your StudioLive RM-series mixer to a FireWire 400 computer
connection or to a FireWire 400 device, but doing so lowers the bus speed of your mixer
to 400 Mbps, which may result in reduced performance. To experience the full power of
your StudioLive RM-series mixer, we highly recommend connecting to a true FireWire
s800 connection or a Thunderbolt connection (using an appropriate adapter).
MIDI In/Out
Not currently implemented, these jacks are for future expansion.
MIDI I/O will be enabled in an upcoming firmware update.
Power
AC Power Inlet: The provided power cable plugs into this standard IEC power inlet.
AC Power Switch: The RM-series mixer is on when the switch is in the “up” position.
