RM-M4R53 4 Stereo 53 Segment Meters, Rack-Mount.
Sonifex are displaying the new range of Reference Monitor Meters on stand 8.E61 at IBC this year. There are eight meters in the range, 3 are freestanding, 5 are 1U rack-mounted and all operate from global mains voltages (85-264V AC, 47-63Hz) without adjustment.
Eamonn Heffernan, Sales Manager, said: “We introduced this new range of precision meters to the Reference Monitor family as a response to customer feedback. Our audio and metering Reference Monitors have been very successful in the marketplace and customers have asked if we could compliment the range by introducing a series of simple but effective meters”.
The new Reference Monitor Meters are a range of precision meters offering accurate, high resolution metering of between 1 and 4 stereo audio sources. Each stereo source is auto-switching between either balanced analogue or digital AES/EBU format with sample rates up to 192kHz accepted.
The level of each stereo source is displayed on a pair of bright, 53 segment or 106 segment multi-coloured bargraph meters, with a choice of ten accurately modelled scales/responses to suit different applications and local preferences. Each stereo meter pair can have a different scale, set via a DIPswitch on the rear panel and multiple complete sets of meter ballistics overlays are provided so that these can be user settable. Separate 5 LED phase meters indicate channel correlation or phase error conditions, and additional LEDs show digital input lock and audio level alarm status.
The 106 segment meters also have a front panel mounted push-button which selects the input source to be monitored, from either of 2 auto-switching analogue or digital AES/EBU stereo inputs, or from a mono mix of each channel, with channel 1 shown on the left meter and channel 2 shown on the right meter.
For all products, on the rear panel, open-collector alarm outputs provide hardware indication of audio under-level or silence, audio over-level, sustained phase errors above 90 degrees and digital source lock. Status monitoring and unit ID functions, plus firmware updates to add extra functionality, are all accessible remotely via a RS232 connection in conjunction with Sonifex SCi software.
