CHAPTER 6: RMS REMOTE MONITORING SYSTEM
The MINA loudspeaker includes an RMS module, which
allows the loudspeaker to be connected to an RMS network.
RMS provides real-time monitoring of multiple Meyer Sound
self-powered loudspeakers from a Windows-based com-
puter. The RMS host computer communicates with Meyer
Sound loudspeakers (equipped with RMS modules) via a
simple twisted pair network, or an Ethernet network using an
FT-10 to Ethernet adapter.
NOTE: For the latest RMS system require-
ments, go to www.meyersound.com.
NOTE: The RMS software allows you to dis-
able Mute and Solo functions to eliminate any
possibility of accidentally muting loudspeakers. Mute
and solo capability can also be disabled by setting
the Remote Switch on MINA’s RMS user panel to
Disable. For more information, refer to the RMS User
Guide.
NOTE: RMS does not control AC power.
RMS SOFTWARE
RMS software provides extensive system status and perfor-
mance data for each loudspeaker, including amplifier volt-
age, limiting activity, power output, driver status, as well as
mute and solo capability. Loudspeakers are added to the
RMS network and assigned a node name during a one-time
commissioning procedure where the loudspeaker is identi-
fied by either entering its unique Neuron ID, or by pressing
its Identify button.
Once loudspeakers are identified on the RMS network, they
appear in the RMS software as icons and views; they are
also automatically added to the RMS database on the host
computer.
