Introduction: The RD-8C and RW-8C are remote level controllers which can be used with the VCM-88C, Protea 24.24M, and
certain future Ashly products. The RD-8C is a desktop controller,
while the RW-8C is electronically the same but mounts as a wall
plate using a standard 4-gang electrical box. There are eight channels and a master, each with a level control and an on/off button.
The Remote Disabled LED indicates when the RD/RW-8C has been
disabled from the VCM-88C front panel switch. Note: The Remote
Disabled LED will illuminate when the VCM-88C Remote Disable
switch is pushed in, and communication will be inhibited.
Used with the VCM-88C, the RD/RW-8C offers a direct correlation of remote faders to VCM-88C channels, as well as its master
fader. Connect the RD-8C or RW-8C to a VCM-88C as follows:
Channel 1 on a RD/RW-8C will always control channel 1 on
the VCM-88C, and likewise channels 2-8 and the master will each
control their respective VCM-88C channel. The data output signal
may be “split” in order to feed two VCM-88C units to give stereo 8channel capability.
Used with the Protea 24.24M DSP Matrix Processor, and
using Protea System Software version 6.4 or higher, each RD/RW8C slide fader can be assigned to attenuate any 24.24M input, output, or input/output combination, limited only by the number of available 24.24M channels. Only one RD/RW-8C can be used per 24.24M.
Connect the RD-8C or RW-8C to a 24.24M as follows:
The remote will not function simultaneously with any other
serial communications device connected to the 24.24M at the same
time. The software programming needs to be done before connecting the remote. After the 24.24M is programmed for the desired RD8C fader assignments, the computer must be disconnected from the
