DESCRIPTION
Next to controlling and monitoring, the RCM-24 Remote Control module provides comprehensive signal processing functions. It includes a total of 20 parametric filter–, X-over functions, delays, routing and level control as well as compressors and limiters per channel. All parameters can be freely edited and stored in the module’s 8 user presets. Independent from network control all DSP-settings (filter, delay, level) are maintained in case of failure. Additionally, the control inputs of the power amps can be used for network-independent switching to another preset (e.g. alarm settings with maximum energy for voice and text announcements).
Therefore, P-Series amps with RCM-24 modules installed fulfil even the highest safety requirements.
When designing the RCM-24, uncompromising audio quality was the highest maxim. AD/DA- conversion is performed at a resolution of 24-bit and 128-times oversampling with linear phase; the internal word length is 48 bits. With this the RCM-24‘s dynamic range reaches 115 dB, which is an absolute peak value for digital audio appliances.
All configuration, control and monitoring details of P-Series power amps are explained in the documentation accompanying the PC Windows software IRIS.
UNPACKING & WARRANTY
Carefully open the packaging and take out the power amplifier. Next to the power amplifier itself, the package also includes this owner’s manual, the warranty certificate, four stand-feet, six screw-on connectors (1x 2-pole, 4x 3-pole, 1x 6-pole) plus a set of rack shelf mounting adapters. Please inspect carefully whether all information in the warranty certificate has been filled in completely, since only a completely filled in warranty certificate entitles you to stake any warranty claims. The appliance comes with a 36 months warranty, starting with the date when receiving the good from your dealer. Therefore, keep the original invoice together with the warranty certificate at a safe place.
INSTALLATION NOTES
Generally, installing or mounting power amps should be carried out in a way that guarantees continuously unopposed front-to-rear air circulation. When including an appliance in a closed cabinet or rack shelf system make sure to provide sufficient ventilation. Leave a gap of at least 60mm x 330mm (up to the cabinet’s top ventilation louvers) for air circulation between the rear of the power amplifier and the cabinet’s/rack’s rear wall. Make sure to leave at least 100mm of space above the cabinet or rack shelf system. Since the temperature inside of the cabinet or rack shelf system can easily rise up to 40°C during operation, bearing in mind the maximally allowable environmental temperature during operation for all other appliances installed in the same rack shelf system is mandatory.

For problem-free operation exceeding the maximally allowable environmental temperature or +40°C is not permissible.
The power amplifier has to be protected against: dripping or splashing water, direct sunlight, high temperatures or direct influence of heat sources, high humidity, extensive dust and vibrations. Condensation on internal parts may occur after transporting the power amplifier from a cold into a warmer environment. In that case operation is only permissible after the appliance has gained the new temperature (after approximately one hour). If foreign objects or liquids have entered the power amplifier’s enclosure make sure to instantly separate the appliance from the mains power and contact an authorised DYNACORD service centre for inspection before continuing operation.
Do not use any sprays or solvents for cleaning the appliance, because they might severely damage the surface of the enclosure or lead to dangerous fire hazard.
