CHAPTER 4: MPS-488HP RMS OPTION
The RMS remote monitoring system module allows the
MPS-488HP external power supply 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 host computer com-
municates with RMS-equipped loudspeakers and power
supplies via RMServer
™
, a compact, Ethernet-based hard-
ware unit with two FT-10 ports. RMServer stores system
configurations internally, eliminating most manual data entry.
Systems can be monitored from a computer at front-of-
house or backstage using an Ethernet connection, or from a
laptop anywhere within the venue over WiFi.
IntelligentDC loudspeakers are connected to an RMS net-
work with the MPS-488HP (when equipped with the factory-
installed RMS option). Up to eight IntelligentDC loudspeak-
ers can be connected to the MPS-488HP with their voltage
and DC current being monitored from Compass RMS soft-
ware. Loudspeakers can also be muted and unmuted from
the software. Supported loudspeakers include any Intelli-
gentDC loudspeaker.
NOTE: The RMS module is only available as a
factory-installed option for the MPS-488HP.
For more information, contact Meyer Sound Techni-
cal Support.
NOTE: The MPS-488HP power supply occu-
pies the same RMS bandwidth as four normal
loudspeakers (four nodes). A maximum of 12
MPS-488HPs can be connected to a single
RMServer.

COMPASS RMS SOFTWARE
Compass RMS ™ software provides extensive system status
and performance data for each active loudspeaker, includ-
ing amplifier voltage, limiting activity, power output, fan and
driver status, as well as mute and solo capability. Loud-
speakers are added to the RMS network and assigned a
node name during a one-time discovery procedure. Once
loudspeakers are identified on the RMS network, they
appear in Compass RMS as icons that can be customized
to suit your needs.
Individual loudspeakers can be physically identified with the
Wink option in RMS, which lights the Wink LED on the RMS
module for that particular loudspeaker. Conversely, a loud-
speaker 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.
