Fostex RM1 Rackmount Stereo Monitor System

The new Fostex RM-1 is the ideal solution for stereo monitoring needs in tight industrial environments. The RM-1 is the perfect system for machine rooms, VTR monitoring, surveillance, mobile and stationary control rooms, theme park applications - or any other situation where monitoring is needed and space is tight.

The unit is a 1 rack space high industrial design, utilizing robust construction for around the clock operation. The aluminum front panel has a multitude of user options so that the audio output may be configured for the application at hand. The A/B Input Selector selects the A stereo group or B stereo group to output to the drivers or headphone jack. The up position selects the A input, the down position selects the B input.

The 1/4 in. stereo headphone jack can be used with all available types of headphones with ample sensitivity giving the user the necessary volume in loud machine room environments. When using headphones, the drivers are muted.

The Dual Concentric Volume control can be used to adjust the left or right inputs independently. The front portion of the control adjusts the left channel and the rear portion of the control adjusts the right channel input volume.

The Mode Selector is of the momentary variety and selects the various output modes; high intensity multi colored LED's tally the function selected:

- Mute includes both the drivers and the headphone.
- L Ch.'the left channel is output through both drivers.
- Mono'the left and right channels are output monaurally.
- Signalindicates the amplitude of signalpresent at the input jacks.
- R Ch.'the right channel is output to both drivers.
