Rane RPM2
Programmable Multiprocessor, 2 Analog Inputs, 2 Analog Outputs

RPM2

The RPM 2 is a 100% drag and drop configurable DSP-based device, set up and controlled using Rane's Drag Net software. Industry standard 10Base-T Ethernet is used to communicate between Drag Net devices and any Ethernet-equipped PC running Microsoft Windows.

Drag Net offers the ultimate in signal processing flexibility, allowing you to draw the system you need without signal flow restrictions. Familiar Windows file management tools and Shortcuts are incorporated into Drag Net, allowing complete project management within a single interface. Below is one of hundreds of configurations, including simultaneous stereo compression, perfect-Q graphic equalization, parametric equalization, and limiting.

The RPM 2 provides two balanced, line-level analog inputs and two balanced analog outputs, each I/O having its own 100% user-defined signal processing path. Cost-effective end user control is possible using optional Rane accessories in conjunction with the Versatile Input Port. Whether your application requires contact closure Preset recall or remote level control using a potentiometer on a wall, the RPM 2 keeps the user interface easy and inexpensive. Euroblock connectors are provided for audio and logic. I/O Grounding screws for direct connection to the metal chassis are provided for solving EMI problems due to shield wiring. Also found on the rear panel is an RJ-45 Ethernet connector for computer control, and an IEC AC power input.

All DSP algorithms are not created equally and textbook DSP algorithms miss the mark where the rubber meets the road. Rane's team of audio-savvy DSP mathematicians -- a rare breed itself -- in conjunction with our industry-leading analog signal processing gurus have combined forces to offer superlative digital and analog audio performance. With 24-bit converters, greater than 104 dB throughput dynamic range and double-precision 48-bit internal DSP 'math,' the RPM 2 offers the best DSP algorithms and audio performance available.
