SONIFEX RM-M1R53 Reference Monitor Meter LED USED

 Used unit in like new condition
These free-standing and rack-mounting precision meters offer accurate, high-resolution audio metering of between one and four stereo audio signals, each auto-switching between either analogue or digital AES/EBU format, with sample-rates of up to 192kHz. The level of each stereo source is displayed on a pair of bright, multi-coloured bar graph meters, with a large choice of accurately modelled scales and responses to suit different applications and local preferences. Separate five-LED phase meters indicate channel correlation or phase-error conditions, and additional LEDs show digital-input lock and audio-level alarm status.

Alarm outputs provide hardware indication of audio under-level or silence, audio over-level, sustained phase errors above 90 degrees and digital source-lock. These are open-collector outputs. Status monitoring and unit ID functions, plus firmware updates to add extra functionality, are all accessible remotely via a RS232 connection in conjunction with Sonifex SCi software.

There are nine meter scales available with accurately modelled ballistics. Each stereo meter pair can have a different scale, set via a switch on the rear panel. A complete set of self-adhesive overlays are provided per stereo meter.

Each stereo meter has two horizontal LED bar-graphs, with an inset area for the meter scale. To the left are the AES lock, level alarm LEDs and the reset switch. Below the bar-graphs there is a screwdriver-operated adjustment for meter brightness; to the right are the five phase LEDs. Dual stereo meters have two groups of the same.

On the rear there are pairs of XLR female connectors for audio inputs. In each case, an AES/EBU is applied to the ‘Left’ analogue input. Remote control and RS232 serial ports are provided by 15-pin and 9-pin female D-sub connectors respectfully. Two banks of eight sub miniature (DIP) switches provide settings. Power is applied to an IEC inlet with adjacent fuse.

Digital audio inputs: AES/EBU, 110ohms. (Termination may be switched). Sample rate: 32 to 192kHz, converted internally to 48kHz.
Alarm outputs: Open-collector outputs rated at 30V, 50mA maximum. Output low/conducting in normal condition (no alarm).
Power source: 85-264V AC, 47- 63Hz, 30W peak, 15W average.
Dimensions: 480 x 148 x 44 (w x d x h) mm for rack-mounting models.
Weight: 1.3kg – 2.8kg, depending on model.

Sonifex is a Private Limited Company owned by the directors, which manufactures broadcast audio equipment. These are for for the radio, TV, security and telecommunications industries. This is a family business, started as a partnership in 1969 by Paul and Dorothy Brooke.  They had a steady turnover of trading, and has established a recognised position in the radio broadcasting industry. The company became a limited company in 1983 and the operation moved to new purpose built premises at Irthlingborough, Northamptonshire, during 1986. In 1987, the size of the premises was doubled to 11,000 square feet. The production space with excellent working conditions and facilities for recreation. An extension was completed in February 1998, adding another 7,000 ft² of engineering and storage space. Over 90% of British radio broadcast studios have in the past used some form of Sonifex equipment. The company exports on average 50% of its products. Sonifex supplies equipment to over 60 countries world-wide and is recognised for the quality and reliability of its designs and finished equipment.
