Rane RPM 26z Multiprocessor

• AES3 digital input, 6 balanced outputs, 14 intuitive pre-defined DSP configurations
• RW-232 bus control, Raneware software control under Windows
• Mono/stereo crossover, program compressor, delay, parametric EQ, limiter, and splitter
• 16 program memories, 8 recallable by contact closure; Euroblock connectors

The Rane RPM 26z is the digital input version of the RPM 26v, which has analog inputs. The RPM 26z provides all required signal processing between the mixer and amplifiers. With its insightful, preprogrammed configurations and user-friendly RaneWare software, the RPM 26z includes a wide variety of intuitive signal processing functions: high and low cut filters, compression, delay, crossover, parametric EQ, splitting, input summing, limiting, trim controls and sine wave or pink noise test tones. Simply select a DSP Program, and draw, enter, or copy and paste values in each of its signal processing blocks.

The RPM 26z contains a stereo AES3 input, 6 analog outputs and saves several rack spaces with its tamperproof, dead-front, 1U chassis. Configurations and settings are stored in 16 internal, non-volatile memories -- which are contact closure accessible from the rear panel Memory Recall Port. This Port can be paralleled with the Ports of other RW 232 products -- allowing one hardware switch to select entire system configurations. This makes the RPM 26z ideal for installations requiring preset configurations through simple contact closures. All 16 memories are accessible from RaneWare's Site Control Panel.

Rane's easy-to-use, Windows-compatible software called RaneWare allows the RPM 26z (and other RW 232 units) to be controlled in real time. RaneWare also supports saving memories--which include configuration changes to a file. This allows programming units without being physically connected to them, and allows different configurations to be stored in each Memory. Thus units may be initially programmed at the office, then 'tweaked' on site.

One computer running RaneWare controls any number of RPE 228d equalizers, RPM 26v multiprocessors, ECM 64 and the ECS Engineered Conferencing System Base. RaneWare also controls the Via 10 Ethernet Bridge and the RPD 1 Programming and Diagnostics unit, allowing long distance remote control of the RPM 26v using a standard modem.
