Paging Input Details
The RM350D is oftentimes installed in retail locations for supplying background
music alone, but it has a full-featured microphone paging input that makes it ideal
for more demanding installations. The microphone input is a low-impedance balanced input that works with dynamic
microphones. Whenever a page is made,
the background music is muted. This can
be done in two ways: 1) audio activity on
the MIC input, or 2) a switch contact closure. For enhanced flexibility , the RM350D
can be set to respond to either a normally
open or normally closed switch contact.
The DDU250 and MBS1000A (see page 58)
are perfect desktop microphones for this
application since they each hav e a push-totalk function.
By using a WMT1A matching transformer ,
the MIC input can be connected to the
paging port of a telephone system. The
audio-activated mute function of the
RM350D will cause the background music
to mute whenever a page is made. In addition, this input also has automatic level
control (ALC), which controls how loud a
page can be and ensures that people with
loud voices don’t boom over the paging
system.
Music-On-Hold Source
The RM350D lets you make the most of
your paging/background music system. A
Pre-Page output connector on the rear of
the unit supplies only the background
music without any of the paging announcements. Connect this output to the
telephone system’s music-on-hold input
and callers will enjoy the background
music too. The Pre-Page output will supply either the tuner or AUX
program material depending on the
setting of the AUX/Tuner button.
Speaker Zones
Built into the RM350D is a convenient 4zone selector switch group. These pushon/push-off switches allow you
to control how paging is distributed
throughout a facility. Simply turn on and
off groups of speakers as needs
change.
An “ALL” button is also provided
to turn
on all system speakers, over riding any individual setting.

Accessories
The RM350D is a unique self-contained paging system with an AM/FM tuner, providing
35 watts of paging power. A low-impedance, balanced microphone input is provided for
microphone paging announcements or telephone paging when used with an accessory
transformer (WMT1A). A music-only output can feed announcement-free background
music to other equipment or to a telephone music-on-hold inpu
t.
