Designed for modern broadcast, live production, and critical audio environments, the RM-X-64-RAV reference monitor range delivers uncompromising flexibility and reliability in a compact 1U form factor. As standard, the unit features seamless RAVENNA/AES67 AoIP and MADI integration, intuitive control, fast source selection, and full redundancy, serving as the monitoring backbone of any professional workflow. At its core, the unit supports up to 128 channels of simultaneous monitoring, combining 64 channels of RAVENNA/AES67 AoIP and 64 channels of MADI via BNC connections. With seamless integration into AoIP-enabled networks, the units fit effortlessly into complex, networked audio infrastructures. Two modular expansion slots further enhance flexibility, enabling support for additional sources in any combination to suit specific workflow requirements. Expansion options include 8-channel analogue inputs, 8 stereo digital inputs (16 channels), or up to 64 channels of de-embedded audio from 12G-SDI, allowing the system to be precisely tailored to individual applications. Fully configured with both expansion slots populated by 12G-SDI cards, this device can support monitoring of up to 256 channels.

Typical Applications
Ideal for OB vehicles, the unit operates as a compact, high-density, mission-critical monitoring hub where space is limited, with a rear depth of under 20 cm (8 inches), excluding connection tails. It consolidates multiple audio sources into a single control point for the audio supervisor. The unit is also well suited to MCR environments, where the central technical hub of a broadcast facility manages and monitors incoming and outgoing signals prior to transmission. In this role, it supports tasks such as signal quality control, playout coordination, and compliance monitoring.
