Do not use any solvents, as these can damage the chassis, rubber feet or wood finish. Use a clean, dry cloth (if necessary, with an acid-free cleaning liquid). Great for cleaning RP-2's anodised front panels and housing is dry microfibre cloth. Disconnect the device from power source before cleaning. -
Page 6: Installation And Connections
RP-2 preamp consists of two units: Preamp Box and Remote Controller. This set comes with a male-to-male XLR cable for connecting both units. To use RP-2 system you will always need to have both units connected to each other. Typically you will put Preamp Box in studio close to your mics or instruments, and Remote controller in your control room. - Page 7 Remote Controller. You can easily use existing studio cables or multicores to do connections between studio rooms. If you are setting the RP-2 preamp in studio room or record yourselves - you can also take the RP-2 conroller with you to tweak the sound there.

Although it is safe to turn on/off PSU or reconnect RP-2 system on working monitors, it is good to get into the habit of muting the monitors output before making any substantial changes in any of your audio connections. -

-20 dB „Pad” switches for lowering gain for hot signals. It is worth remembering that RP-2 is a creative device, and you can use for example Mic inputs for line level signals with -20dB switch engaged, for special sonic signature. Feel free to experiment. - Page 10 GAIN Gain pots respectively for channel 1 [MID] and channel 2 [SIDE] varies from +20dB to +60dB. RP-2's audiophile quality gain control system based on opto elements (4 per channel), it makes gain changing smooth and more precise than by using standard gain pots, at the same time ensuring full separation between control signal and audio signal path.

M/S DECODE This switch activates passive, transformer-based M/S decoder built into the RP-2 Preamp Box. This is the best way to decode M/S signal to stereo in analogue domain. You can of course record M/S signal without decoding and do this later in the chain or in your DAW, but unless you do not need M/S signal for further manipulation, we strongly recommend to use RP-2's decoder, because it sounds really great. - Page 12 PSU: Classic linear, based on custom made power transformer (built into the and ultra quality Linear Technology voltage regulators Preamp Box) Internally switchable between 240V / 120V Fuse: 250mA (240V operation) 500mA (120V operation) Connectors: 2 x Gold plated TRS inputs (Preamp Box), 2 x Gold plated Neutrik XLR Mic inputs (Preamp Box) 2 x Gold plated Neutrik XLR Line outputs (Preamp Box) 1 x Gold plated Neutrik XLR Remote input (Preamp Box)
