talkover function, activated automatically when signal is present at Mic One and
the Talkover switch is engaged. +12 VDC phantom power is available for each in-
dividual microphone input. Bass, Treble and overall Volume controls are provided
for each zone output.
Applications for the Zone Wolf include restaurants, hotels, schools, churches or
factories.

- Three XLR balanced Mic inputs with phantom power
- Six stereo RCA inputs
- Bass and Treble controls for each zone
- Automatic talkover on Mic One to the assigned zone

DESCRIPTION
FRONT PANEL
VOLUME 1 - 3: Adjusts the level of signal from either Source Inputs 1 - 3 or Mic
Inputs 1 - 3. NOTE: Channel 1 RCA and Mic Inputs are mixed together, as are
Channels 2 and 3.
VOLUME 4 - 6: Adjusts the level of signal from Sources 4 - 6 to the selected
output bus(es).
NOTE: THE DESCRIPTION FOR ZONE 1 IS IDENTICAL TO THAT OF ZONE 2.
VOLUME: Adjusts the output level of the zone from -infinity (off) to a maximum of
+26 dB of gain.
BASS: Controls the amount of the low-frequency content of the zone signal.
TREBLE: Controls the amount of the high-frequency content of the zone signal.
Power switch: Turns the RM68 on and off.
REAR PANEL
Mic 1 - 3: Balanced XLR inputs for connection to dynamic or condenser micro-
phones.
Phantom Power: Two-pin header jumpers. From the factory, the jumpers are set
vertically, not connecting the phantom power. To connect phantom power to the
indicated mic channel, carefully pull the jumper off the pins and reconnect the
two adjacent pins by installing the jumper horizontally.
SOURCE INPUTS 1 - 6: Stereo RCA jacks. Channels 1 - 3 share busses and
volume controls with Mic inputs 1 - 3. Channels 4 - 6 are independent.
BUS INPUTS, ZONE 1 and ZONE 2: 1/4” TRS Stereo inputs for connection to
another RM68 Zone outputs using insert cables. This provides a way to connect
multiple RM68 units together and expand the input numbers.
ZONE1 and ZONE 2 OUT: Right and Left 1/4” TRS balanced output jacks.
TALKOVER SWITCH: Engages the talkover function for Mic Input 1. When
engaged, this is an automatic function that ducks the program material on the
Source inputs under the signal on Mic 1.
