Applications
One of the best ways to grasp the true versatility of the SRM
66 is to observe one in action.
Figure 9 shows an installation using one SRM 66 to distrib-
ute sound throughout an entire manufacturing facility. Each
Output can have different mix Inputs and Levels. For example,
the offices may mix in a different page source than the shop
floor. Also note that all three of the shop floor Outputs may have
different mixes, Master Levels and Limiter thresholds.
The use of Output Groups allows a large variety of Remote /
Output combinations. In this example both the offices and lobby
have their own Remotes to control their own Output Levels,
while the shop floor has two Remotes, either of which can con-
trol the level of all three Output Levels assigned to them.
The example shown in Figure 10 demonstrates a system using
the SRM 66 for room
combining. The fact
that Group configura-
tions can be different
in each Memory adds
the versatility of link-
ing multiple Remotes
together in one condi-
tion while separating
them in another. In
Memory 2, the Mas-
ter can control both
Output Groups, while
permitting individual
control within each
divided room.

One thing to keep in mind in such a situation is the Group’s
Level is
not
stored in each Memory. This allows you to change
Memories without it resetting the Group’s Level each time. If
a different Group Level is desired you can change the Group
assignments. For example, in Figure 10 (Memory #2) you could
assign Output 1, Output 2 and Remote 1 to Group 3. When
you changed from Memory #1 to Memory #2 the Group’s Level
would change to the last value set for that Group. If your ap-
plication requires no change in Level between Memories, simply
keep the Group Level assignments (to Outputs and Remotes)
intact between Memories.
Other applications for the SRM 66 are time of day clocks
with contact closure outputs which adjust the level and/or distri-
bution of audio for scheduled events. Or connect the SRM 66’s
MRP through a relay
to the power switches
on noisy machinery to
increase and decrease
background or paging
audio during use in
manufacturing facili-
ties.
