General Description
The RTS™ Model PAM-32 keypanel fits in a standard 19” rack and is two rack spaces high. It has 32 push button keys; 30 of
which are monitoring inputs; one key for copying from alpha scroll lists; and one is for headset/speaker. It adds significant new
features such as digital signal processing and binaural headset operation with left/right assignment of audio signals. The PAM-
32 also introduces large, super-bright, long-life fluorescent displays with adjustable brightness control, making it suitable for
all types of ambient lighting from direct sunlight to darkness.
Features
• Super-bright, fluorescent displays: Provides much better visibility and usable life than LCD displays. A display saver mode
with programmable scrolling message extends display life and conserves power during periods of inactivity.
• 32 Push Button Keys, with 30 keys available for monitoring inputs.
• Only 3.54 inches (90 mm) deep behind the front panel (approximately 5.11 inches/ 130mm with connectors). Perfect for
consoles, OB vans, etc.
• Digital Signal Processing (DSP) adds new mixing and metering capabilities.
• Binaural (1/4” phone/stereo plug) Headset Connector. Works with the DSP mixing feature. Lets you independently assign
intercom, and program audio to left or right headphone.
• Easy upgrades. Firmware update can be received via the Internet, for example, and then downloaded to the PAM-32 via the
intercom connection. Ready for future communication enhancements, including coax, fiber, and ISDN.
