Rane RPM 88 Programmable Multiprocessor

Rane's RPM 88 is a multi-process DSP-based device, controlled by Drag Net Software and offers signal-processing flexibility, allowing you to draw the system needed without signal flow restrictions. The software provides a complete display and control of all signal processing configurations and functions.

The multiprocessor features eight balanced, line-level Analog inputs and eight balanced analog outputs with Microphone preamps (controlled via software) with an equivalent input noise (EIN) of -128dBu. Included are standard XLR-type connectors providing Stereo AES/EBU I/O. Each I/O, along with the Digital I/O, has its own 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 various 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 very flexible, such as the RPM's 400 MIPS can translate into 225 fully parametric EQ filters, if the need arise 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 88 offers a perfect integration of DSP algorithms and Audio performance.
