INTRODUCTION
RP500 is the very last mixing desk from the French company RAMI. It features the same advanced top technology
from RP2000 and Compact well-known in professional area, the first choice for broadcast professional, thanks to
the VCA used with linear faders, to preserve the audio quality for very long times.
It fills a gap for user with restricted space, numerous functions, wide range of inputs including direct USB, and
AES/EBU output. The 8U size allows to install in a rack or a middle size control room.
Antenna output is double, balanced analog XLR and digital AES/EBU XLR. In digital surrounding, the analog
output can be used for antenna continuous recording.
RP500 also includes a second true balanced XLR output for recording, or a second program. That one can be used
on each input channel and hybrid return. So it is possible to handle both an audio to antenna, and a recording
with another audio at the same time.
The control room balanced XLR audio allows to listen antenna audio, or to cue each input channel. This output is
switched off when opening the main microphone, avoiding audio feedback.
The studio output is the same as a antenna output.
RP500 features a unique channel for the main speaker, with tone controls, one output for hybrid, and a ON/OFF
key for fast action. This channel can switch a ON AIR light
An optional MIDI on USB remote control is intended for broadcasting software control.
The external specific hybrid channel allows to send each input. Return can be sent to antenna , or the second
output, or both
The large cue and antenna peak meter scale complying IEC 268-10/1, is a true measuring instrument allowing to
supply a calibrated audio output. Digital saturation indicators, contribute to measure efficiency.

Besides the excellent audio quality,the key point is the use of gyrators tone control. This allows to increase the
desired frequency , without modifying the higher and lower part of the audio spectrum. These extreme
frequencies are troublesome when they are amplified. The gyrators tone controls, allow much better clarity and
sound accuracy.
This is specially sensitive on voices, increasing medium or high, will not add noise, nor undesirable energy in higher
frequencies. By the same way, increasing loudness will not result in pop effect for the microphone.
This is the technology used in very high quality equalizers.
