8-rmP

The RMP is an 8-channel microphone amplifier in a 2U high 300mm deep 19” rack unit. It features dual power supplies for
on-air reliability. Switchable phantom power is available on each input.

The 8-RMPs connect directly to an Alpha-Link LIVE-R unit, not to the console surface. Up to three units can be connected
to each Alpha-Link LIVE-R.

Analogue  outputs  from  the  8-RMP  are  at  line  level  and  should  be  connected  to  an  Alpha-Link  LIVE-R  using  8-circuit
balanced audio cable.

Remote control information is provided by a separate RJ45 data cable.* Pairs of audio-plus-control cables can be ordered
from SSL in lengths of 1m, 5m, 10m and 25m. Cable pinouts are listed in the appendices. The maximum recommended
cable length between each Alpha-link 8-RMP and an Alpha-Link LIVE-R is 50m.
