CHAPTER 6: DX RMS MODULE

The DX RMS module is used in the following loudspeakers:
■ M-Series MINA loudspeaker (comes standard)
■ EXP Acheron Designer loudspeaker (optional)
■ X-400C subwoofer (optional)
■ MJF-210 stage monitor (optional)
When equipped with an RMS module, Meyer Sound loud-
speakers can be connected to an RMS network and moni-
tored with Compass control software. Some Meyer Sound
loudspeakers, such as MINA, come standard with the RMS
module already installed. For other Meyer Sound loudspeak-
ers, the RMS module is available as an option that can either
be factory installed or installed at a later date by a qualified
service technician.
The following sections document how to install and use the
DX RMS module:

INSTALLING THE DX RMS MODULE

This section documents installing the DX RMS module.This
installation procedure requires a standard #2 Phillips screw-
driver
NOTE: Make sure to hold the DX RMS module
by its edges. Avoid touching any of the compo-
nents on the module.
To install the DX RMS module:
1. Remove the loudspeaker's AC power cable and audio
cable and place the loudspeaker on a clean, low-static
flat surface. Orient the loudspeaker with the top facing
up. Wait at least five minutes before removing the DX
RMS module.
2. Remove the two screws securing the cover plate for the
slot below the audio input module. Save the cover plate
in case you need it in the future.
3. Locate the ribbon cable beneath the audio input module
and attach this cable to the rear connector on the DX
RMS module. Make sure to fully lock the connector.
4. Slide the DX RMS module into the open slot (below the
audio input module) and secure it with the two screws.
5. Reconnect the loudspeaker's AC power cable and audio
cable and apply power to the loudspeaker.
NOTE: The RMS modules in Acheron Designer,
MINA, and X-400C cannot be interchanged
with modules for other loudspeaker models.

NOTE: The button and LEDs on the DX RMS
user panel are used exclusively by Compass

Identify Button
The Identify button serves the following functions:
■ If the loudspeaker has not yet been discovered (Wink/
Activity LED not lit), press the Identify button to identify
the loudspeaker in the Compass RMS system and dis-
