The RCM-26 is a dual-channel digital controller module for live sound, PA and fixed installation. It offers all conventional signal-processing functions such as parametric equalizers, crossovers, delays, compres- sors and limiters. It also makes available linear phase FIR filters, zero-latency FIR filters and digital loudspeaker
protection algorithms to permit the dynamic range of the amplifier to be exploited to the full potential.
In addition to the electronically balanced analogue inputs, digital inputs in AES3(AES/EBU) format are on board.
Using the CAN bus, networks of up to 250 power amplifiers can be realized. Additional interfaces include the RS-232 interface for media control and the Control Port with freely programmable control inputs and outputs (GPIO). Despite its compact dimensions, the RCM-26 is unmatched in terms of its capabilities and audio per- formance. The IRIS-Net™Remote Control Module RCM-26 extends the functionality of PowerH power ampli- fiers by providing:
•remote supervision and remote control
•AES3 (AES/EBU) digital inputs
•digital signal processing
•advanced loudspeaker protection algorithms
•system integration and networking
IRIS-Net™is the integra- ted software
platform for all remote-controllable devices and systems from Telex Communications, Inc. It allows complete audio systems with a multitude of identical or different devices to be configured, supervised and controlled centrally from a single user interface. IRIS- Net™ supports Ethernet, CobraNet™, CAN-bus and USB and is open for further implementations in the future. IRIS-Net™makes possible the comprehensive supervision of power amplifiers and loudspeakers inclu- ding their cables and interfaces. System statuses are being polled permanently, with errors detected and reported instantaneously and all problems and other
events logged along with the date and time of their occurrence. The totality of parameters and settings of all system components can be stored and reloaded at the push of a button ('Total Recall'). Depending upon the application, users can design their own control panels, program automatic sequences, and form devi- ce and function groups.
IRIS-Net™has been used for several years now in hun- dreds of audio installations and systems and has de- monstrated its merits in a very wide variety of applica- tions. Since the year 2002, IRIS-Net™has been the plat- form for the EV Precision series power amplifiers and since 2005 also for the NetMax N8000 networked matrix system.
