The SRM 66 provides a cost effective solution for systems requiring any combination of zone distribution, room combining, and remote level control. Split, route, and mix functions are implemented with a six input, six output matrix mixer. The SRM 66 allows independent routing and mix-level adjustment of any Input to any Output.
Control consists of a backlit LCD, five buttons and a Data wheel. All programming is accomplished using eleven easily accessible edit pages. Six pages control Output programming, four for Group programming and one for Memory functions.
Inputs and Outputs are line-level balanced and equipped with Euroblock connectors. Rear panel Gain switches on each Input and Output allow -10 dBV or +4 dBu sensitivity. Front panel Mix Input Headroom LEDs indicate the remaining headroom for each of the six inputs at 4 dB and 16 dB.
Programmable Limiters on each Output prevent mixer overload. If Output level exceeds the Limit Threshold, all six mix levels for the given Output are reduced, thus maintaining the proper mix.
Each Output features an internally switchable 2nd-order 80 Hz Highpass filter. These filters are useful in conjunction with constant-voltage line transformers or small sound-reinforcement speakers.
The SRM 66 uses Output Groups to 'link' attenuation levels and Limiter gain reduction of one or more Outputs. Outputs may be assigned to one of six Output Groups. For example, a stereo Output pair would typically be assigned to the same Output Group. This ensures that they limit together and are controlled by a common Output Group attenuation or Remote. Output Group Levels are the only parameters not affected by Memory changes.
Outputs are assigned to any one of the six possible Output Groups or none. Remotes are then assigned to any one of the six possible Output Groups or to the Master Group. The Master Group is configured by assigning any number of the six possible Groups to the Master Remote. For example, say you have a six zone system and have a Remote assigned to control the level in each zone. You can then assign any number of the Output Groups to the Master Remote, allowing all zones to be controlled by one Remote.
Mix configurations are saved in up to 24 Memories. These non-volatile Memories are stored in EEPROM, requiring no batteries. Memories may be recalled via the front panel LCD screen or the rear panel Memory Recall Port (MRP). The MRP allows remote contact closures to recall any of the 24 Memories. Advanced MRP users can completely program the MRP closure-to-memory-mapping functions via SRM Exchange software (see RaneNote 142 'Advanced Applications of the Ingenious SRM 66 & SR 1L'). The MRS 4, RCP 3 and RCP 4 accessories make an easy installation for the MRP (see below).
See the Data Sheet link below for complete specifications.
The SRM 66 provides a Remote Interface Port (RIP) which supports up to seven optional SR 1L 'Smart' digital Remote controls. Each Remote may be assigned to any one of the six possible Output Groups or to the Master Group. The Remotes control the level of a Output Group, not Output level. Each of the 24 Memories stored in the SRM 66 may have unique Output Group assignments for Outputs and SR 1L Remotes. This allows flexible room combining and system reconfiguration. All remote devices assigned to a Output Group display the level of the Output Group. The Remote Interface Port is a powered, half duplex, (RS-485) party line system using 5 wires, allowing any combination of 'star' and/or 'chained' wiring. The SR 1L also supports encoder lockout and Master/Slave functionality where one remote controls Output Groups across multiple SRM 66s. (See the SR 1L Data Sheet and RaneNote [links below].)
The FP Lock function locks out all front panel SRM 66 control except for Output Group Levels and Memory Recall. The SR 1L Remotes can still control Output Group Levels with the FP Lock rear panel switch engaged. With FP Lock, all edit pages are viewable, but not changeable.
Complete programmability of the MRP is possible using the SRM Exchange software (downloadable below) included with the Rane DSC 1 accessory (see the DSC 1 Data Sheet and RaneNote links below). Up to seven SR 1L Remotes may be used with the Via 10 Ethernet Link.
The SRM 66 and SR 1Ls can be controlled via Panja or Crestron room
controllers using the SRM 66's (RS-485) Remote Interface Port (see RaneNote
links below)(Panja software
available).
The MRS 4 provides a simple solution to recalling Memories from a remote location for products having an MRP (Memory Recall Port) or a VIP (Versatile Input Port).
The MRS 4 is intended for use in Normal mode, allowing up to 4 Memories to be recalled by contact closure. These are radio buttons: engaging one button (in, changing to green) causes any of the other three to disengage (out, changing to black). Space is provided next to each button for labelling.
RCP 3 and RCP 4 Room Combining Panels
Rane has preprogrammed into the SRM 66 a room combining mode which makes setting up a 3 or 4 room combining system a quick task. The RCP 3 (three-room combining panel) and RCP 4 (four-room combining panel) are user friendly control accessories for the SRM 66 Splitter Router Mixer and SR1L Smart Digital Remotes. To create a room combining system, the installer only has to connect the RCP 3 (or RCP 4) and 3 (or 4) SR 1L's to an SRM 66. The RCP 3 uses Inputs and Outputs 1, 2, & 3 of the SRM 66 for three rooms. The RCP 4 uses Inputs and Outputs 1, 2, 3 & 4 of the SRM 66 for 4 rooms. See the wiring diagrams in the data sheet link below.
New versions of the SRM 66 with firmware 2.20 or later come with preprogrammed room combining systems, so no additional programming is requiring. Older SRM 66's may be upgraded. If the firmware is 2.0 or later, the unit may be upgraded by replacing one EPROM. If the unit is earlier than 2.0, an EPROM and an EEPROM must be replaced. Contact the Rane factory for upgrade information.
Operation is easy. Pushing a button (turning it green) between the two rooms combines the sound in those two rooms. Pressing a button again (turning it black) separates the sound between the rooms.
The RCP 3 and RCP 4 panels mount in a standard 19" rack and utilize a single rack space.
