RCI & MCS

Remote Control for 6416m

The RCI Remote Control Interface and

MCS Mic Control Surface prov ide ﬂ exible and intuitive monitoring and remote control of 6416m Mic Input Modules.

A single RCI and MCS can be used to control up to 64 channels of 6416m inputs, regardless of their location in the network. Alternatively, any number of RCI Remote Control Interfaces can be installed throughout a Pro64® network, providing multiple control points. The Control Group function on the 6416m and RCI allows control of network channels to be divided among up to four different simultaneous users and control points.

Surface. Sixty-four bicolor LEDs provide real-time status monitoring of the 64-channel network stream, while a high resolution meter provides detailed monitoring of the selected channel’s signal level. All level meters include a switchable peak hold.

The RCI can also be used as a stand-

alone monitor station; any Pro64 network audio resource can be selected (from the RCI or MCS) and monitored using the built-in headphone and/or line-level XLR outputs. MCS Mic Control Surfaces can be connected and disconnected from the RCI without affecting network behavior.
