RDL RCX-5CM Room Combining System Controller / Mic Muting / 5 Rooms / Front Volume / VU Metering

Description

The RDL RCX-5CM is a room combining system controller engineered to manage audio sources and amplifier inputs across multiple rooms. It is a dedicated controller that supports up to five rooms and provides mic muting while background music is playing. The RCX-5CM is designed for clear, consistent control of distributed audio systems in professional environments.

The controller allows selection of music input from a non-combined room and provides a paging input that can override normal operation when required. Front-panel volume adjustment is available for each room and the unit features RDL Dual-LED VU metering for each source. Electronic switching and gain control are implemented with memory to preserve settings after power cycles.

Technically, the RCX-5CM controls audio source routing and amplifier inputs for up to 5 rooms and supports mic and line inputs per room. The unit mutes microphones in a room while background music is active and supports paging override for priority announcements. Two controllers can be linked to expand capacity for larger installations.

Connectivity includes wall-mounted remote input panels and optional RCX-CD1 Control/Display Panels for remote control and user interaction. Each room may host up to two RCX Room Controls and music can be sourced from any non-combined room. The controller provides both mic and line level connectivity and front-panel user controls for local adjustments.

Typical applications include multi-room conference centers, houses of worship, hospitality venues, and corporate facilities requiring coordinated zoning and music distribution. The RCX-5CM simplifies management of distributed audio while ensuring microphones are muted during background music playback. Its paging override and programmable room layouts make it suitable for complex site requirements.

Installation and operation are straightforward with simple programming and flexible configuration to accommodate a wide range of room layouts. The unit operates in standard indoor environments and connects to existing amplifiers and wall-mounted panels for intuitive control. RDL engineering provides a dependable control platform for multi-room audio systems requiring mic muting and centralized source management.
