The DRM26 is a 1RU rackmount unit with two 6:1 VCA mixers which may be controlled either locally or remotely using the two supplied remote controls.

A typical application is remote mixing of radio talkback. The 1RU unit is mounted in the truck and connected to the radio talkback. In the studio the presenter or floor manager can adjust his mix remotely but without losing the freedom of radio talkback.

Switch over between remote and local mix control is available on the main mixer unit. The control button will illuminate red when in remote control mode. Each mixer has its own control button.

When the mix is being adjusted on the remote the 'Remote Active' LED on the mixer illuminates. Useful for checking the system during the rig.

To operate the remote simply press the update button while adjusting the mix levels (or after adjusting the mix levels) Battery power is only used while the update button is pressed to ensure long battery life. When data is sent to the mixer the remote active LED will illuminate, but only if the data is being received.

Connection between the remote and the mixer unit is just one standard 3 pin XLR.
Data transfer distance is in excess of 400 metres with reasonable cable.

All mixer audio inputs, outputs and data connections are XLR

AC Supply = 230Vac 50Hz
