Reference Monitor, 4 LED Meters, 8 Channel Inputs & Dual Source Selectors With Dolby Decoder Card, XLR Input/Output

The RM-E1X adds to the unit a 110ohm balanced AES/EBU input and output on XLR connectors with the output acting as a loop-through of the input. The XLR input can decode a Dolby E or Dolby Digital audio stream allowing you to monitor visually 8 or 5.1 audio channels respectively and to monitor audibly any 2 of those channels.

By pressing the left hand source select control, you can select the Dolby input. If a Dolby E or Dolby Digital input is detected, the Channels (CHANS) button flashes to indicate that decoding is possible. Pressing the CHANS button displays the Dolby Digital 5.1 or Dolby E 8 channel signal, using the 4 bar-graph meters.

Each meter is split into 2 sections allowing you to view L, R, C, LFE, Ls, Rs for Dolby Digital and an additional Lt, Rt for Dolby E.
