A 2U 19″ rack mounted Dante monitoring and diagnostic unit, which allows the monitoring of up to 64 Network Audio over IP channels at 48 kHz (32 channels at 96 kHz). The signals are presented to the user via the inbuilt 75 mm full range speakers which are mounted in optimised ported cabinets for a high quality sound or the via the 6.35 mm 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 RD Series.
The RD Series is operated and controlled via the large 5.0” diagonal (127 mm) 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 RD Dante very quickly.
The high resolution screen is easy to read presenting comprehensive metering, routing and status information to the user.
Firmware updates of the RD Dante are achieved via a dedicated USB B connector on the front panel. There is also a dedicated 6.35 mm jack socket for the headphone output and a 6.35 mm jack socket to input a line level source such as an iPad etc.
On the rear of the RD Series there are 2 x balanced line outputs on 3 pin male XLRs and AES output also on 3 pin male XLR.These outputs can be configured to follow the main volume settings of the speakers/headphones or alternatively, they can be set to independent levels with individual trim controls for each. They can also be set independently to follow the main Mute control.
Additionally there is an AES input via 3 pin female XLR connector .
The RD Series has 2 x IEC mains inputs (90 V to 250 V at 50 Hz to 60 Hz) which can be run individually or together for redundancy
