OPERATION
The RM65 is ideal for small combo groups where a small number of instruments and microphones need to be mixed together. Refer to Figure 1 for an example of how to connect the inputs and outputs of your RM65. Connect microphones to balanced XLR cables and to the XLR inputs. If any of these microphones are condenser microphones, they will require phantom power. To turn on the phantom power for an individual channel, set the phantom power switch for that channel to the ON (down) position. Instruments may be played into a microphone which is connected as indicated above, or if you have active pickups in your instrument simply connect the output of your instrument to an RM65 Line Input as the acoustic guitar is shown in Figure 1.
Electric guitars and basses normally are connected to an instrument amplifier or preamplifier. Amplifiers may have microphones placed in front of the speaker, or if the amp has a line level output (check with the amplifier’s owners manual) - it may also be connected to the mixer directly. Keyboards and sound modules are connected directly to the RM65’s line inputs as shown.
To use the FX Loop, connect a 1/4” unbalanced cable to the FX Send and to the Input on your signal processor or effects device. Connect the Output of the signal processor or effects device to the RM65 FX Return jack. The level of the effect will be controlled by the settings on the channels’ FX Sends and by the Output Level of your effects device, The overall level of the effect will be controlled by the FX Return level on the front of the RM65.
To use the Monitor feature of the RM65, connect the Monitor Out jack to a monitor amplifier via a 1/4” unbalanced cable. Each channel’s monitor level is controlled by that channel’s Monitor level setting. Be aware that the RM65 has no master monitor level, so you will need to set the overall monitor level with the monitor amplifier and the Monitor Levels of each channel.
Connect the Right and Left Main Outputs to the main amplifier(s) and make sure the amplifier is the correct rating for the speakers. If you are operating in mono, use either the Right or Left Output.
The RM65 may also be used for recording. Connect microphones, instruments, and effects to the inputs as described above - the connect the Right and Left outputs to your recording device and set the levels accordingly.
