The XLR input for MIC 1,2 and 3 can be configured to be Microphone level or line level. Follow the
silk screening on the unit for proper use of the mic/line switch.
Q: When I plug a mic into the RM316 I can barely hear it?
A: The MIC/LINE switch is set to LINE level and you are using a MIC, set the switch to MIC. Make
sure other volumes of the unit are set properly.

Channel Source 1-3 inputs are line level RCA’s.
Q: I only have a single mono RCA to connect to the source inputs do I need to get a “Y” type adapter?
A: No, the RM316 will accept a mono or stereo signal into the RCA inputs, and will convert all signals
to mono. No “Y” adapter is needed.

The MASTER VOLUME controls on the front of the RM316 function just as the name implies.
NOTE: With channel volumes, master volumes and possibly remote volumes there are plenty of op-
portunities to get distortion on the outputs. It is best to set all volumes at half (white pointer facing up).
Then make adjustments from there as needed.
Q: When using a remote volume does the MASTER VOLUME control still work?
A: Yes, when using a remote volume both the remote volume and master volumes are active. We
suggest if you are using a remote volume to set the master volume to 10 (all the way up) to give the
remote volume access to the full volume potential of the RM316.

PHANTOM POWER:
The RM316 provides 15 volts of phantom power to the selected channel (Mic 1, 2 OR 3). These are
selected independently of each other from the rear panel of the unit, see above illustration.
Q: I cannot hear my mic. It is not a phantom power (condenser) type mic. Does it matter that I have
the phantom power turned on?
A: Yes, it does matter. If you are using a dynamic mic (one that does not require phantom power),
you must have the phantom power turned off. When the phantom power is on it will not allow you to
hear the mic. It also may damage the RM316, or your mic, to have the phantom power engaged when
using a dynamic mic.
TALK OVER:
The talk over is designed to allow mic 1,2 or 3 to talk over any signal on the selected main channel
outputs.
EX: If the talk over assignment is engaged for CH.1 output, whenever signal is present mic 1,2 or 3 it
will talk over all source material on CH. 1.
The designation on the rear of the RM316 is for engaging/selecting the talk over for one of the three
output channels. You can have the RM316 talk over function only on the output channels you select
from the rear of the unit.
Q: Will mic 1 talk over mic 2 or 3?
A: No, mic 1,2 or 3 will only talk over the RCA source inputs.
Q: I can not get the TALK OVER to function?
A: In addition to having everything selected properly make sure you have enough signal present on
the Mic 1,2 or 3 inputs to activate the Talk Over circuit. If the signal to those channels is to low it will
not activate the circuit. To try and remedy this, turn the level of the mics/inputs up.
DIP SWITCH SETTINGS:
- PHANTOM POWER: This applies 15 volts phantom power to the indicated microphone.
- Talk Over Zone Assignment 1: When in the ON position, all program material on Channel 1 output
will be “ducked” or muted when signal is present on MICROPHONE 1,2 or 3. This function is used for
paging.
- Talk Over Zone Assignment 2, and 3 are the same as above when signal is present on MICRO
-
PHONE 1,2 or 3 they will be “ducked” or muted.

MUSIC ON HOLD:
The music on hold is a constant output from RCA input 1. Meaning whatever signal is plugged into
RCA input 1 will be summed to mono and sent to the “music on hold” output, regardless of any switch
position setting on the RM316.
