Analogue Inputs

The Soundcraft RM1d offers 4 (8) assignable Mic / Line inputs, using digitally controlled Mic
pre-amps. 2 (4) Mic / Line Inputs have an analogue insert point using a Stereo Jack plug, and
all have a Gain range from 0dB to +60dB with switchable +48V phantom power. 2 (4) Stereo
Inputs are also available with a Gain range from 0dB to +18dB. There are 4 Stereo External
Inputs accessible via a 37 pin D sub connector (FEM), with a Gain range from 0dB to +18dB
and all of the above inputs feature 24 bit 128 x oversampling A/D converters.
A further 8 analogue inputs can be achieved by connecting either the Soundcraft Mic/Line
Interface box, or the Soundcraft Analogue Interface box to the TDIF port found on the rear of the
RM1d.

Analogue Outputs

The RM1d offers an array of Analogue Outputs. There are balanced XLR outputs for the STE1
(PROG) and STE 2 (AUD) mix busses and unbalanced outputs for control room and studio
monitors. Headphone outputs for guest, studio and Control Room phones are supplied with a
duplicate Control Room headphone socket located on the front panel.
Outputs for auxiliary busses 1 & 2, line/clean-feed busses 1 & 2, Stereo PFL, Mono PFL and
cue speaker are located on the 37 way D-sub connector.
A further 8 analogue outputs can be achieved by connecting either the Soundcraft Mic/Line
Interface box, or the Soundcraft Analogue Interface box to the TDIF port found on the rear of the
RM1d.

Digital Inputs

4 (8) dedicated AES/EBU Inputs, and 1 (2) SPDIF Input for connecting CD, Minidisc and DAT
Machines are provided on the rear of the RM1d. Additional digital inputs are accessed by an 8
Channel TDIF connector. With the exception of the TDIF inputs, all other digital inputs are
equipped with Sample Rate Converters (SRC), simplifying setup and eliminating the need for
all devices in the system to share a common word clock. All digital inputs can be routed freely
to any channel in exactly the same way as the analogue inputs, and therefore have the same
access to the EDIT STRIP. (There are limitations regarding the routing of the SPDIF inputs - see
section 4.2 - Assign channel).
A further 4 AES/EBU inputs (4 stereo or 8 mono) can be achieved by connecting the Soundcraft
AES/EBU Interface box to the TDIF port.

Digital Outputs

There are 2 (4) AES /EBU digital output connectors provided on Male XLR, and 1 (2) SPDIF
output via a RCA/phono connector. The TDIF connector also provides an additional 8 digital
outputs that can be configured to output a variety of mono or stereo sources.
A further 4 AES/EBU outputs (4 stereo or 8 mono) can be achieved by connecting the Soundcraft
AES/EBU Interface box to the TDIF port.
