CHAPTER 5: RMS REMOTE MONITORING SYSTEM
750-LFC optionally includes an RMS remote monitoring
system module, allowing the loudspeaker to be connected to
an RMS network. RMS reports, in real time, the status and
power usage of multiple Meyer Sound loudspeakers from a
Mac or Windows-based computer. The RMServer
communicates with Meyer Sound loudspeakers equipped with
RMS modules. RMServer is a compact, Ethernet-based
hardware unit with two FT-10 RMS data ports. RMServer
stores system configurations internally, eliminating most
manual data entry. Systems can be monitored from a
computer at front-of-house or backstage, or from a laptop
anywhere within the venue over WiFi.

NOTE: RMS does not control AC power.
COMPASS RMS SOFTWARE
Compass RMS software provides extensive system status and
performance data for each loudspeaker, including amplifier
voltage, limiting activity, power output, fan and driver status,
and mute and solo capability. Loudspeakers are added to the
RMS network and assigned a node name during a one
-
time
discovery procedure. When loudspeakers are identified on the
RMS network, they appear in Compass RMS as icons that can
be customized to suit your needs (Figure 31).
Individual loudspeakers can be physically identified with the
Wink option in RMS, which lights the Wink LED on the RMS
module of that particular loudspeaker. Conversely, a
loudspeaker can be identified in Compass RMS by pressing
the Identify button on the loudspeaker’s RMS module.
Loudspeaker icons can be arranged in Compass RMS and
saved as pages to represent how the loudspeakers have been
deployed in the system. Multiple pages can be saved and
recalled for specific performances and venues.
RMS MODULE
The 750-LFC RMS user panel (Figure 32) includes an Identify
button, Remote Mute switch, Wink/Activity LED, and two
Network connectors.
NOTE: The Identify button and Wink/Activity LED
on the RMS user panel are used exclusively by
RMS and have no effect on the acoustical or
electrical activity of the loudspeaker.
Identify Button
The Identify button serves the following functions:
•
If the loudspeaker has not yet been discovered on the RMS
network (Wink/Activity LED not lit), press the Identify
button to allow Compass RMS to discover it.
•
To remove the loudspeaker from the RMS network, press
and hold the Identify button during startup (see “Resetting
the RMS Module” on page 38).
•
To wink a discovered loudspeaker, press the Identify
button. The Wink LED on the loudspeaker icon in Compass
RMS lights up and the Wink/Activity LED on the
loudspeaker’s RMS user panel turns solid green. Press the
Identify button again to unwink the loudspeaker.
TIP: The loudspeaker can also be winked by
clicking the Wink button on the loudspeaker icon
in Compass RMS.
Wink/Activity LED (Green)
The green Wink/Activity LED indicates the status of the
loudspeaker:
