PAM-32
Program Assignment Monitor
The RTS Model PAM-32 keypanel ts in a standard 19” rack and is two rack spaces high. It has 32 pushbutton keys; 30 of which
are monitoring inputs; one key for scrolling alpha assignments; and one is for headset/speaker selection. It adds signicant new
features such as digital signal processing and binaural headset operation with left/right assignment of audio signals. The PAM-
32 also introduces large, super-bright, long-life uorescent displays with adjustable brightness control, making it suitable for all
types of ambient lighting from direct sunlight to darkness.
Super-bright, uorescent displays: Provides much better
visibility and usable life than LCD displays. A display saver
mode with programmable scrolling message extends display
life and conserves power during periods of inactivity.
32 Pushbutton Keys, with 30 keys available for monitoring
inputs.
Only 3.54 inches (90mm) deep behind the front panel (ap-
proximately 5.11 inches / 130mm with connectors). Perfect
for consoles, OB vans, etc.
Digital Signal Processing (DSP) adds new mixing and meter-
ing capabilities.
Binaural (¼” phone/stereo plug) Headset Connector. Works
with the DSP mixing feature. Lets you independently assign
intercom, microphone, and program audio to left or right
headphone.
Easy upgrades. Firmware updates can be received via the
Internet, for example, and then downloaded to the PAM-32
via the intercom connection. Ready for future communication
enhancements, including coax, ber, and ISDN.
