Rane RPM 22 Programmable Multiprocessor

The RPM 22 by Rane features a "drag and drop" configuration, wherein using the included Drag Net Software it provides signal Processing flexibility, giving you the ability to draw the system needed without signal flow restrictions. Drag Net features a display and control, with all signal processing configurations and functions, downloadable from a Computer via a rear panel port. It allows for a complete project management within a single interface. A 10Base-T Ethernet is used to Communicate between the RPM 22 and any Ethernet capable PC running Microsoft Windows.

The RPM 22 features two balanced, line-level Analog inputs and two balanced analog outputs and Microphone preamps (controlled via software) with an equivalent input noise (EIN) of -128dBu. Included is standard XLR-type connectors providing Stereo AES/EBU I/O. Each I/O, including the Digital I/O, has its own, 100% user-defined signal-processing path. Grounding screws for direct connection to the metal chassis are provided for solving EMI problems due to shield wiring.

The DSP functions include parametric and graphic EQ, feedback elimination, crossovers and dynamics along with input and output gain. The processing power of the unit is extremely flexible, such as the RPM's 200 MIPS can translate into 125 fully parametric EQ filters, if needed for multiple Channels of fifteen-band parametric EQs. With 24-bit converters, greater than 106dB Throughput dynamic range and double-precision 48-Bit internal DSP math, the RPM 22 offers an ideal integration of DSP algorithms and Audio performance.
