The VCM-88E is intended for installations that
include houses of worship, boardroom,
nightclub, or anywhere remote control of individual levels is required.
Similar in operation
and design to Ashly’s VCM-88, the VCM-88E uses euroblock connectors
for all audio and
remote control connections. The RS-232 control port is a standard DB-9 connector.
To
assure tamperproof operation, all front panel controls are recessed and
all connections
and power on/off are located on the rear panel.
The VCM-88E is housed in an all-steel, 1RU chassis containing eight fully
independent
VCA channels capable of limiting, remote level control and mixing. By
itself, the VCM-88E
functions as a precise eight-channel limiter. When connected to a PC running
Ashly Protea
System Software, RD- RW-8, Crestron, AMX or other controller, the VCM-88E
controls
individual channel and master levels with a range of +20dB to –75dB.
The VCM-88E also has
a master output providing a summed output of all channels allowing the
unit to function as a
fully-contained eight-channel remote controlled line level mixer. Internal
switching allows you
to patch channels for signal routing/matrixing and select channel pass
through for cascading
multiple units in parallel. Each channel may also be selected to operate
as a separate input or
output, or as a single insert.
