SETTING THE REAR PANEL DIP SWITCHES
Zone Duck Assign
Switches 1 - 4 engage the Ducking function to the indicated zone.
First - in order for the ducking to operate properly in the assigned zone, the microphones
and sources must be assigned to that zone.
Select which zone you wish to have the ducking function by moving that Zone Duck As-
sign switch to the DOWN position. BOTH Mic 1 and Mic 2, if assigned to the selected zone
and have the Zone Duck Assign switch down, will duck the sources assigned to that zone.
For example; shown above - Mic 1 is selected on the front panel to Zones 1 - 4, and Mic 2
is selected only to Zone 1. Shown below, Zone 4 has no ducking assigned, while Zones 1
- 3 have ducking assigned. Therefore, Mic 1 and Mic 2 will duck whatever Source material
is present at Zone 1, Mic 1 will additionally duck material at Zones 2 and 3, but not Zone
4. Mic 2, since it is not selected to Zones 2 - 4, it will have no effect on those zones.

CONNECTION INFORMATION
Referring to the diagram above, connect microphones to the MIC INPUTs and apply
phantom power where needed by moving the corresponding Phantom Power switch to the
DOWN position. Connect sources such as cassette players, CD players, AM/FM tuners,
etc. to the RCA Source Inputs. Note which input each device is connected to as that input
corresponds to its front panel Level control. Connect the XLR outputs to their respec-
tive zone amplifiers and speakers. The balanced signals are configured pin 2 hot, pin 3
neutral, and pin 1 ground. For ground lifting, it will be necessary to remove the connection
to pin 1.
REMOTE VOLUME INFORMATION
For Remote Volume operation, a Tip-Ring-Sleeve plug will need to
be wired to a 10 - 100 K Ohm potentiometer (NEITHER INCLUD-
ED) as shown here.

Thank your for your purchase of the Rolls RM64 Four Zone Mixer. The RM64 combines two paging
microphones with up to four line level source inputs. Each input is switch selected to output to any
combination of four zone outputs. The outputs are all balanced XLR connectors, and a 1/4” Remote
Volume jack provides each zone with the means for external volume control. The Microphone inputs
feature automatic ducking for easy paging.
The RM64 is the ideal solution for banquet rooms, offices, restaurant/night clubs, etc.
NOTE: This unit is intended for professional installation. Certain assumptions have been made that
the installer has the required knowledge to properly install, setup and operate the RM64.

SETTING THE FRONT PANEL DIP SWITCHES
Each input is assigned to a Zone via the four DIP switches nearest that Input
Level control. The zone is assigned when the switch is in the DOWN position.
For example, the switch settings above send Mic 1 to all four Zones; 1, 2, 3,
and 4. Mic 2 is sent to Zone 1 only. Source 1 is sent to Zone 1, and Source 2 is
sent to Zones 2, 3, and 4.
