RL64 Dante audio monitor

A 1U 19inch rack mounted AoIP monitoring and mixing unit.
RLC64 allows two modes of operation a mixing mode which can mix up to 64 channels at 48kHz (32 channels at 96kHz) plus microphone input (via headphone connector) and AES input to create a 67 into 2 mixer. Alternatively, it can be set into a simple Listen mode where touching a channel instantly routes to the LR output and cancels any previous selection.
The outputs of the LR bus are presented to the user via the inbuilt 4mm x 9mm full range speakers or via the 3.5mm headphone jack. The speakers are automatically muted when a headphone jack is inserted. Simultaneous outputs are also available in the form of the stereo balanced line outputs and AES output accessed via XLR connectors on the rear of the RLC64. The mix output is also routed to the AoIP output.

The RLC64 is operated and controlled via the large letterbox 6.6” diagonal (168mm) 1440 x 240 24-bit colour LCD and capacitive touch panel.

A simple and elegant menu system has been designed to be intuitive to navigate allowing the user to access all the features of the RLC64 very quickly.
The high-resolution screen is easy to read presenting comprehensive metering, routing and status information to the user.

Firmware updates of the RLC64 are achieved via a dedicated USB micro AB connector on the front panel. There is also a dedicated 3.5mm jack socket for the headphone output

On the rear of the RLC64 unit there is a Primary and Secondary port for the AoIP input
The Control RJ45 allows the RLC64 to remotely controlled via NixNet
The Remote RJ45 is a bespoke remote control port for additional accessories (note it is not compatible with ethernet)

The RLC64 can be powered via PoE on the Primary port and/or via the 2.5mm DC input connectors requiring 24V @ 2A. The DC input also have a screw lock to prevent accidental unplugging. Using both the PoE and the DC inout provides redundancy.
The optional NIX00583 or the NIX00629 can be used to power the RLC64
