Overview
The RCP 401 EU and RCP 401 MK are remote control panels that allow remote operation of the SMP 401. User-friendly record, pause, stop,
and mark buttons enhance the recording experience. Manage and save files directly to thumb drives or external portable drives through a
USB port that supports writing speeds up to 5 Gbps. It also features buttons for swap and layout preset recall functions, streamlining the
creative workflow. Status lights and audible alerts keep users informed of SMP 401 recording status. The RCP 401 EU and RCP 401 MK
include a USB-C control cable for easy, out-of-the-box connection to the SMP 401. The RCP 401 EU panels include black and white
faceplates for a wide range of environments. The RCP 401 MK model is available in white only.
