With 4 x bright high-resolution 26 segment meter displays and separate left and right source selectors, the RM-4C8 is ideal for monitoring audio channels in an SDI group, or groups of de-embedded
AES/EBU channels.

The RM-4C8 offers the same functionality as the RM-2S4 but with an additional source selector so that any of the 4 channels in the selected group, or bank, can be monitored independently on left and right speakers.

Also, 4 meters are provided so that every channel in the selected group, or bank, can be visually monitored and 4 expansion port groups of 4 channels are allowed, so that all audio channels in an SDI signal can be monitored, using the optional RM-HD1 card.

The audio inputs on the RM-4C8 are auto-sensing, for digital AES/EBU using the left input XLR, or both XLRs for analogue inputs. The inputs can be used in any combination of analogue or digital.

With full remote control via GPI, RS232 or USB, a 5 band parametric equaliser, 6 front panel modifier buttons and the ability to take the optional 3G/HD/SD-SDI expansion cards, the RM-4C8 is a flexible and versatile monitoring solution.

The same high level of care has been taken in the design of the RM-4C8 as in the RM-2S4 to ensure that it will be the best sounding 1U rack-mount audio monitor that you listen to.
