Rolls RM65 - Manual (Page 4)

OPERATION
The RM65 is ideal for small combo groups where a small number of instruments
and microphones need to be mixed together. Refer to Figure 1 for an example of
how to connect the inputs and outputs of your RM65. Connect microphones to
balanced XLR cables and to the XLR inputs. If any of these microphones are
condenser microphones, they will require phantom power. To turn on the phantom
power for an individual channel, set the phantom power switch for that channel to
the ON (down) position. Instruments may be played into a microphone which is
connected as indicated above, or if you have active pickups in your instrument
simply connect the output of your instrument to an RM65 Line Input as the
acoustic guitar is shown in Figure 1.
Electric guitars and basses normally are connected to an instrument amplifier or
preamplifier. Amplifiers may have microphones placed in front of the speaker, or if
the amp has a line level output (check with the amplifier’s owners manual) - it may
also be connected to the mixer directly. Keyboards and sound modules are
connected directly to the RM65’s line inputs as shown.
To use the FX Loop, connect a 1/4” unbalanced cable to the FX Send and to the
Input on your signal processor or effects device. Connect the Output of the signal
processor or effects device to the RM65 FX Return jack. The level of the effect will
be controlled by the settings on the channels’ FX Sends and by the Output Level
of your effects device, The overall level of the effect will be controlled by the FX
Return level on the front of the RM65.
To use the Monitor feature of the RM65, connect the Monitor Out jack to a monitor
amplifier via a 1/4” unbalanced cable. Each channel’s monitor level is controlled by
that channel’s Monitor level setting. Be aware that the RM65 has no master
monitor level, so you will need to set the overall monitor level with the monitor
amplifier and the Monitor Levels of each channel.
Connect the Right and Left Main Outputs to the main amplifier(s) and make sure
the amplifier is the correct rating for the speakers. If you are operating in mono,
use either the Right or Left Output.
The RM65 may also be used for recording. Connect microphones, instruments,
and effects to the inputs as described above - the connect the Right and Left
outputs to your recording device and set the levels accordingly.
