1 - Multiturn microphone gain preset ( 30 dB range).
Way of use: Using key (18) (CUE) switch the channel to CUE.
Switch (3) to MIC and set (5) mid range.
While using the microphone, adjust pot (1) to read 0dB on peak, on the CUE vumeter.
2 - Led display for line input.
3 - Key to select balanced MICROPHONE or balanced LINE.
4 - Led display for microphone input.
5 - Input sensibility pot (25dB range).
Way of use : Using key (18) (CUE) switch the channel to CUE.
Switch (3) to MIC and set (5) at mid range.
While using the microphone or line input, adjust pot (5) to read 0dB on peak on the CUE vumeter.
6 - High level setting.
7 - Medium level setting.
8 - Bass level setting. Center setting does not affect tone.
9 - AUX 1 output level setting. Signal is stereo.
10 - AUX output selection 1: - Pre: Before level fader (19).
- Post: After level fader (19).
11 - AUX 2 output level. Signal is stereo. Jumpers on printed circuit, allow selection of sampling point, before or after
level fader (19). See page (8)
12 - Key sending the channel to stereo ANTENNA output.
13 - Key (12) light.
14 - Key sending the channel to stereo PROGRAMME 2 output.
15 - Key (14) light.
16 - Left / Right pan. Center is neutral.
17 - Key (18) light.
18 - CUE key. It sends the incoming signal to the CUE circuits (vumeter and headphones) even when the fader (19) is
down. Regarding ANTENNA, PROGRAMME 2 and CUE, signal handling uses electronic analogue switches, no relays,
or mechanical switches.
19 - 100mm fader controlling a VCA (voltage control amplifier). VCA is a device whose gain is controlled using t he DC voltage
from the fader.
Advantages: the signal does not use the fader (no cracks) very high attenuation (fader down) optimum signal
travelling path.
Plastic track potentiometers are available as an option.
An electronic detection in the beginning of running of the potentiometer (19) allows the remote control of machines
(19) 15 poles Sub D (E) switching on the lighted switch (20) and the channel muting using VCA.
On LINE the remote control is available on SUB D (E).
On MICRO, the machine remote control is disabled, the Start information is send to the bus to switch an ON AIR lamp
(ASM120, RGL500 or RGL800), or to fade the control room monitoring (according to internal jumpers see page 8).
20 - Brilliant key working with the start detector on the fader (19).
a) Key (20) pushed: The machine remote control is enabled, the VCA will switch the light on and open the channel a s
soon as the fader is activated (19). This is used to start the machine by the fader.
b) Key (20) released: The fader (20) can be open, to a preset level. The remote equipment will start when key (20) is
pushed. The VCA switches the light on and the opens channel. This to start the machine by the
key when the fader is open. The signal level is according to the fader position.

A - XLR female 3 pins MICRO connector.
This input is electronically balanced (1 Earth, 2 signal +, 3 signal - ).
Use of top quality transistors and components for input amplifier, results in excellent noise signal ratio and distortion
figure.
Nominal input level ranges from -70dBu to -14dBu
Two internal jumpers change this input as line input, the nominal level then becomes -37dBu to +19dBu (see
page 8)
B - ¼” connector for insert at line level for input (A).
C - XLR female 3 pins MICRO connector.
This input is electronically balanced
XLR (female 3 poles) Left input (1 Earth, 2 signal +, 3 signal -).
Nominal input level ranges from -14dBu to +12dBu
D - XLR female 3 pins MICRO connector.
This input is electronically balanced (1 Earth, 2 signal +, 3 signal -).
Nominal input level ranges from -14dBu to +12dBu
E - 15 pins female Sub D for input output remote control. The signal is available on opto couplers. Remote control is
available only in line configuration (switch 3).
All inputs/outputs (XLR, 1/4 jack, Sub D) use a T filter to protect against radio frequencies and electrostatic. The RF and
electrostatic flow to the RP2000 Frame.
Note: All XLR pin 1 are grounded to the RP2000 frame.
