This unit takes advantage of transformer coupling in the analog path to give the RMP-D8 its unique sonic profile. The combination of these performance characteristics allows the Rupert Neve Designs RMP-D8 to find itself equally comfortable in both live venue and studio applications.

RMP-D8 Block Diagram

Note: IEC power cords provided are latching type.

RMP-D8 Front Panel Features

Eight Segment LED Channel Metering

The RMP-D8 is equipped with 8-segment Bargraph LED meters for each input channel (1 through 8). These meters are scaled to represent a Quasi-Peak Programme (PPM) metering ballistic for optimal resolution. The front panel metering indicates the post ADC level in digital full-scale level from -60dBFS to 0dBFS.

LINE

Engaging LINE MODE on the RMP-D8 automatically selects the following features:

• PAD is engaged by default (-10dB)
- Phantom Power (+48VDC) is disabled to prevent potential fault conditions
- Individual channel gain is restricted to a maximum of +30dB to prevent potential input overload

RESET

If the RESET button is pressed on the RMP-D8 front panel, the user will be prompted with the following message on the front panel OLED display:

Rotate the ADJUST encoder wheel one detent clock-wise until the OLED screen prompts "YES."

Press the RESET button again to accept the changes. The RMP-D8 will fully reset to its default state (all features disengaged and channel gain settings reset to 0dB).

Front Panel Lockout

The RMP-D8 allows the user to lockout the front panel by executing a simple front panel button combination:

PRESS IN and HOLD down the ADJUST rotary encoder (STEP 1). While holding the ADJUST encoder down, press the RESET button once (STEP 2). The LOCK icon will appear on the bottom middle of the OLED display indicating successful front panel lockout. To disengage front panel lockout at any time, repeat steps 1 and 2.

RMP-D8 Network Connectivity

The RMP-D8 has a Primary Dante Network Port as well as a redundant Secondary Dante Network Port. The Primary Port provides the main Dante Network connectivity, as well as connection to Dante Controller running on your PC or MAC.

Note: A Gigabit Ethernet switch should be used to make all Dante network connections. See Audinate's Gigabit Ethernet switch recommendations available on their website.

The RMP-D8 Secondary Dante Network Port is available for Redundant network applications, acting as a failsafe if the Primary Network fails. All Secondary Dante Network connections must be made through a separate Gigabit Ethernet switch.

Note: If there is no DHCP server on the Dante network, the user must assure that the RMP-D8 and computer reside within the same local subnet. In addition, the RMP-D8 must be power-cycled after it is connected to the computer's ethernet adapter to achieve proper IP address auto-assignment.

RMP-D8 OLED Display

The RMP-D8 utilizes a front panel OLED display screen for multiple menu functions. The default operational screen will show the current status of the selected channel, including: Channel Gain, +48V Phantom status (+48), PAD status (-10), Polarity status (P+), HPF status (HPF), Front Panel Lockout (LOCK), and Gain Compensation status (GC).

In addition to front panel status indication for a selected channel, the OLED display also shows configuration menus, which can be accessed by repeatedly pressing the CONFIG front panel button directly underneath the OLED display screen.

Pressing the CONFIG button once will bring up the SYSTEM info screen:

Pressing the CONFIG button twice will bring up the Dante Domain Manager info screen (Firmware v2.00 and later):

Pressing the CONFIG button a third time will bring up the Primary Network IP and MAC Address screen:

Pressing the CONFIG button a fourth time will bring up the Secondary Network IP and MAC Address screen:

Pressing the CONFIG button a fifth time will bring up the Dante Software/Firmware info screen:

Pressing the CONFIG button a sixth time will bring up the Yamaha ID edit screen (see Yamaha ID section - page 16):

Pressing the CONFIG button a seventh time will bring up the Dante ID info screen:

Pressing the CONFIG button an eighth time will bring you back to the standard operational status screen.

RMP-D8 and Dante Controller

In order to configure sample rate, bit depth, and Dante network audio routing, you will need to run Dante Controller on your PC or MAC computer. The RMP-D8 will identify in Dante Controller with the same Dante ID as seen on the OLED display in the Dante ID configuration menu.

In order to change the RMP-D8 sample rate, bit depth, and pull-up/pull-down settings, double click on the RMP-D8 Device name in Dante Controller's routing tab to open the Dante Controller Device View Window.

Within the Device View Window, click on the Device Config Tab:

Within the Device Config Window, the user can adjust sample rate, bit depth, pull-up/pull-down and latency settings:

RMP-D8 Gain Compensation

The RMP-D8 has an available Gain Compensation (GC) mode that can be engaged on a channel by channel basis. RMP-D8 channels 1 through 8 are successively mirrored to RMP-D8 Dante Transmit channels 9 through 16 in Dante Controller. These mirrored outputs appear in Dante Controller on channels 9-16 identified as 'RMP-D8 Channel 1 GC Output' through 'RMP-D8 Channel 8 GC Output' and are output at an audio level which is pre-set to be 6dB below the set gain on each channel. This -6dB offset provides additional digital signal headroom to avoid clipping the gain compensated outputs. These mirrored channels can then be utilized as gain compensated outputs on a channel by channel basis by activating GC, once the desired nominal gain for each channel is set:

RMP-D8 Channel 1	Dante Transmit Channel 9, (RMP-D8 Channel 1 GC Output)
RMP-D8 Channel 2	Dante Transmit Channel 10, (RMP-D8 Channel 2 GC Output)
RMP-D8 Channel 3	Dante Transmit Channel 11, (RMP-D8 Channel 3 GC Output)
RMP-D8 Channel 4	Dante Transmit Channel 12, (RMP-D8 Channel 4 GC Output)
RMP-D8 Channel 5	Dante Transmit Channel 13, (RMP-D8 Channel 5 GC Output)
RMP-D8 Channel 6	Dante Transmit Channel 14, (RMP-D8 Channel 6 GC Output)
RMP-D8 Channel 7	Dante Transmit Channel 15, (RMP-D8 Channel 7 GC Output)
RMP-D8 Channel 8	Dante Transmit Channel 16, (RMP-D8 Channel 8 GC Output)

Setup:

Before entering gain compensation mode, adjust each channel's gain to the desired nominal gain level for the given input signal. Enter gain compensation mode by PRESSING and HOLDING the channel select button on the desired channel or by toggling the function on the remote user interface. Once gain compensation is engaged, the corresponding mirrored Dante Transmit channel will maintain a consistent level, compensated within a range of +/- 12dB of the primary channel being adjusted.

Application:

This feature becomes useful in the event that the FOH engineer needs to make a gain adjustment to a specific RMP-D8 channel (Channels 1-8), but does not want to affect the mirrored transmit channels going to the monitor engineer (Transmit Channels 9-16).

Example:

If Channel 1 is set to +36dB Gain before entering gain compensation mode, Channel 9's signal level will be 6dB below Channel 1.

Once Gain Compensation is engaged on Channel 1, Channel 9's level will maintain its gain setting as long as:

• The adjustment range does not exceed the +/-12dB Gain Compensation limits
• The required digital headroom is available to prevent clipping

In this example, the mirrored GC channel will remain at a +30dB gain level as long as the FOH engineer doesn't adjust the gain range beyond +/- 12dB of +36dB: the value that was set when GC mode was initially engaged.

Note: If the FOH engineer were to increase Channel 1's gain beyond +/- 12dB, Channel 9's gain compensated output would subsequently follow in 1dB increments.

Gain compensated outputs cannot exceed the limits of the 0 - 60 dB gain range available on the RMP-D8.

RMP-D8 Application Remote Control (PC)

The RMP-D8 has an available software application that can be used to remotely control the RMP-D8 feature set over the network.
