A 1U 19″ rack mounted AoIP monitoring and mixing unit.

RLC64 allows two modes of operation a mixing mode which can mix up to 64 channels at 48 kHz (32 channels at 96 kHz) 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 4 mm x 9 mm full range speakers or via the 3.5 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 RLC64. The mix output is also routed to the AoIP output.

The RLC64 is operated and controlled via the large letterbox 6.6” diagonal (168 mm) 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 3.5 mm 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  be 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 2.5 mm DC input connectors requiring 24 V @ 2 A. 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
