Product Overview

RM-CAD8 Confidence Monitor - (2 LED Meters, 2 Analogue & 6 Digital Stereo Inputs)

The RM-CAD8 has all the features of the RM-CA2 together with the ability to select from an additional 6 stereo digital inputs.

As well as the 2 stereo analogue inputs there are also:

  • 4 x stereo AES/EBU balanced inputs on XLR 3 pin female.
  • 1 x stereo S/PDIF unbalanced input on RCA phono female.
  • 1 x stereo TOSlink unbalanced input on an optical connector.

The RM-CA2 is a 1U rack-mount unit offering quality loudspeaker monitoring and 2 channel metering of two stereo analogue audio sources. Input 1 has stereo balanced Neutrik™ XLRs and Input 2 has both stereo balanced Neutrik™ XLRs and stereo unbalanced RCA phono connectors. The balanced analogue inputs can be wired unbalanced if required.

All other features of the unit are identical to the RM-CA2. The RM-CA2 is a 1U rack-mount unit offering quality loudspeaker monitoring and 2 channel metering of two stereo analogue audio sources. Input 1 has stereo balanced Neutrik™ XLRs and Input 2 has both stereo balanced Neutrik™ XLRs and stereo unbalanced RCA phono connectors. The balanced analogue inputs can be wired unbalanced if required.

Sources are selected via a front panel push-button switch, with clear LED indication of the current source. A rear panel DIP switch setting allows the unit to monitor either:

  • Stereo signals, with the two front panel control knobs acting as stereo volume and balance control, to alter the stereo imaging of the left and right channels, or
  • Dual mono signals, with the two front panel control knobs acting as left and right volume controls.

There is a front panel headphone socket which responds to the volume controls and the headphone socket automatically mutes the internal loudspeakers when a plug is inserted. A pair of line-level analogue audio outputs follow the selected source at the selected level, or optionally at 10dB lower (if using the unbalanced input), set via rear-panel DIP switch.

The level of the chosen source is shown on an 8 segment LED bar-graph display with PPM and VU scales indicated. The bar-graph can optionally be lowered by 10dB (if using the unbalanced input), set via rear-panel DIP switch. A single phase meter LED indicates channel correlation or phase error conditions.

The three-way loudspeaker system is fed via a DSP-based active crossover and a trio of highly efficient Class-D amplifiers. Careful attention to driver selection, materials and case design, plus active DSP equalisation, has ensured a flat response and outstanding reproduction from such a shallow unit. A protective limiter prevents damage to the loudspeakers under overload conditions. The RM-CA2 operates from global mains voltages (85-264V AC, 47-63Hz) without adjustment and can optionally be ordered with a DC 9V to 36V input instead of the AC input.

Attributes:

  • Anti-vibration steel case.
  • Sealed lid with foam cut-outs to dampen lid.
  • Multi-point screw fixings ensure lid rigidity.
  • Rear connector ports sealed with foam.
  • Glue used on components which could move, or vibrate.
  • Accurate 3-way speaker system.
  • Two mid/high frequency speakers provide excellent stereo imaging.
  • Separately driven, forward facing, dual magnet, mono bass driver.
  • Custom-moulded, profiled, HF enclosures minimise standing waves.
  • Acoustic damping in the HF enclosures reduces colouration.
  • Separate, sealed, infinite-baffle enclosure for each driver.
  • Magnetically shielded drivers so that the monitors are perfectly safe to use near CRTs and TFT displays.
  • Separate, highly efficient class-D switching amplifier for each speaker.
  • Short, even cable lengths to and from the speaker enclosures to reduce any potential microphonic induction.
  • DSP based design allows better audio performance to be realised.
  • Active crossover provides perfect separation between mid-range and bass sounds.
  • A universal power supply ensures global voltage operation without adjustment.
  • Optional DC power input.
