Introducing the RemoteMix x5™
RMx5™ combines a ve-channel eld mixer with a four-channel headphone
amplier. After all, what good is a eld mixer if you do not have a exible
monitoring capability for the whole crew?
Great Sound – Four low-noise, high-headroom, active-balanced mic inputs
feature extremely high common mode rejection for outstanding cable noise
immunity. A soft limiter prevents overdrive while the High Pass lter removes
room rumble and mic handling noise. Direct drive DC coupled XLR output for
improved output cable noise immunity.
Digital – 24 bit USB codec provides USB 2.0 Class Compliant record and play
capability through Windows, OS X, and Linux operating systems. AES/EBU
Digital output on a dedicated XLR jack, independent of USB codec.
Convenient - 3.5 mm Stereo input and output jacks for recording or playing back
of recorded material. Separate headphone level and source selection controls for
each headphone output. Monitor just the clean mixer output, the Cue input, or a
mix of the two.
Power Smart Design – Phantom power is not always needed, yet it can be a
real drain on batteries. The phantom power generator only runs if any of the
rear panel 48 V switches are set to “ON” position. Low noise, low power ICs are
used throughout to preserve battery life. The 100-240 VAC desktop-style power
supply (included) overrides the battery power only when the supply is actually
providing power. If the power goes out, the batteries automatically cut in. Use
one battery or two. The RMx5 is equipped with separate battery compartments
for hot swapping batteries.
Radio – RMx5 is designed for news and sports remotes. Use it as a front-end
mixer for your POTS, ISDN, IP or smart phone codec. XLR out, XLR or ¼” stereo
return to headphones. Use the USB interface to stream audio through a laptop
soft codec.
TV – RMx5 is designed for ENG, Sports, and interviews, with four ¼” headphone
outputs. 3.5 mm TRRS provides 2-way IFB audio from your cell phone or
notebook.
Rugged design for eld use, runs > 8 hours on two hot-swappable 9-volt
batteries. RMx5 will also route audio through cell phones or notebooks with the
included 3.5 mm TRRS headset interface cable.
