Key Features

The 52/RX Mixing Console, with its 4 to 48 faders, resembles the layout of its predecessing models RM4200D and
RM3200D. At the same time, it features prominent advantages of the Series 52, e.g. linking via Ethernet, operation of up
to 4 independent mixers with one DSP Frame, and the freely configurable TFT Views. Due to module sizes similar to the
mentioned systems, existing RM4200D systems can easily be extended to be a Series 52 mixer by replacing the control
modules and upgrading to the Toolbox5 software and the RM420-852/853 Communication Controller, while keeping DSP
Frame, I/O modules, table installation frames and studio furniture unchanged.
The Series 52 Mixing Console 52/RX has been designed to be an easy-to-use tool for a broad range of TV and radio
broadcasting applications.
It can also be used for:
• On-Air and continuity studios
• Pre or post production, recording, editing, dubbing
• OB Vans and other field applications
The 52/RX uses a special real-time operation system running in the DSP frame. There is no PC-based system inside and it
works completely without any PC.
The configuration software runs on standard Windows(TM) based PCs. However, this PC is not needed to run the 52/RX
from day to day – it is only needed for setting it up.
A Series 52 Mixing Console 52/RX remotely controls the processing power of a DSP core via TCP/IP. The combination of
the proved and reliable DSP power of an RM4200D DSP Frame together with the Series 52 RM420-852/853
Communication Controller provides you with a great variety of features.
With the completely redeveloped Toolbox5 configuration software, you can flexibly adjust the available audio and logic
resources of your mixing system to meet your individual requirements. Providing a complex range of configuration options,
the software still stays intuitive and easy to use.
