Deluxe Stereo or Mono Side-Chain Compressor
• Smooths out program dynamics, with soft knee adjustment.
• Uses true rms level detection. A side-chain allows lters in the
detector path as well as an input for ducking applications.
• Provides initial default settings for music and speech.
Ambient Noise Compensator
• Automatically boosts program levels to match changes in back-
ground noise level.
• Connect any music or paging source to the Program input, and
the noise sensing microphone to the Ambient input.
Automatic Gain Control (AGC)
• Versatile gain riding block helps maintain the appropriate signal
level and dynamic range for an application.
• Allows transparent control of both speech and music levels.
• Uses a side-chain with true rms level detection, allowing lters
in applications that benet from band-limited detection for
voice or instrument AGC. It is also possible for the detector to
use signals other than the gain-controlled-signal.
Up to 10 inputs / 10 outputs!

Parametric Equalizer (PEQ)
• Add/Remove Filter feature easily changes the number of lters without deleting the block or recreating settings. Up to 15
lters can be added to each PEQ block. Adjust lter quantities
oine without redrawing blocks and signal ow.
• Each numbered icon in the graph represents an available EQ
lter. ese icons can be selected and dragged about the graph
to adjust the frequency (horizontal) and level (vertical) parameters, or precise values may be entered.
• Separate views for Magnitude, Phase, Composite, and individual lters. Tab display of all lter parameters in list form.
Feedback Suppressor
• 5, 10 & 15 lter versions for optimum use of DSP resources.
• Fixed, oating and user-adjustable PEQ lter types.
• Reset oating lters on power up or user-dened timeout.
• Speech and music modes.
• Auto-setup mode with limiter for fast setup.
• Dynamic level control.
True Response Graphic Equalizer with Perfect-Q™
• Rane’s patent-pending Perfect-Q technology means Drag
Net equalizers have no band interaction, even with drastic
adjustments of adjacent bands (blue line). But you can still
select traditional Proportional Q if desired (red line).
Rane Perfect-Q™
Proportional-Q
2-way or 3-way Crossover
• Adjust crossover frequencies by selecting and dragging the
crossover point icon to a new location, or type in values. Filters may be linked and adjusted simultaneously.
• In Simple Mode, all crossovers are Linkwitz-Riley, 24 dB per
octave.
• Advanced Mode may include any combination of:
Linkwitz-Riley 12 or 24 dB per octave
Butterworth 12/18/24 dB per octave
Bessel 12/18/24 dB per octave
1st-order 6 dB per octave lter.

REMOTES
Remote Controls
Depending on which remote is selected for the application, the
end user is presented easy access to a variety of functions such as
source selection, preset recall, and level adjustment. All remotes
mount in a standard U.S. electrical box with a minimum depth
of 2¼ inches, and covered with a standard Decora® plate cover.
Because of the display width, the SR 3 is the only remote that
can’t t next to itself in a 2-gang electrical box, but will t next
to any other remote.

Live Remote Mapping
• e Remote Map sets up the assignments, parameters and remote
devices used for control.
• Signal processing parameters (a Source Selector’s Input parameter,
for example) are linked to Remotes by creating Groups. ese
Groups are created by dragging items from the Parameter window
into the Group Assignment section of the Remote Map.
• From the Versatile Input Port, control almost any parameter from
pot-on-a-wall, contact closures, or pre-made Remotes.
• For more control, up to 8 optional Smart Remotes (SR 2, SR 3,
SR 4) can be connected to an RPM unit via the RW 485 Remote
Interface Port.
Smart Remotes
Smart Remotes are compatible with the RPM 88, RPM 44,
RPM 22’s Remote Interface Port, and electrically compatible
with standard RS 485 interfaces.
e various modes and parameters (e.g., Backlight Timer)
are set directly when connected to a live device. Congurations
can be created oine and saved as Storage les or user templates
for subsequent upload to the remote at the job site.
It is possible to assign a single
remote to one or more parameters
– to control a mono or stereo zone
level, for example. It is also pos-
