Marshall Electronics Rackmount Digital Audio Monitors with Dolby Digital / Dolby-E Capability Marshall Electronics introduces the AR-DM Series Rackmount Digital Audio Monitors - high quality, ultranearfield audio monitoring systems for space critical environments with interchangeable input modules and field-upgradeable firmware capability.
Featuring five models - two 1RU and three 2RU units - the new AR-DM Series Digital Rackmount Audio Monitors are ideal for TV facilities, studios, post production, VTR bays, mobile production vehicles, satellite links, and wherever multichannel audio monitoring is required. All models support 16 audio channels with four slots for the available interchangeable input modules, including SDI/HDSDI with re-clocked loop through (8 stereo de-embedded channels), quad unbalanced BNC AES/EBU with loop through, and quad balanced AES/XLR to DB-25 with loop through. With 100% digital processing, Class D (digital) amplification, selectable stereo downmix modes, Dolby Digital/Dolby-E decoding capability (with optional Dolby-E module), a 1/4" headphone jack with Level control, and an RS-485 port for on-site firmware upgrades, the AR-DM Series provides pristine audio quality and unrivaled flexibility.
The AR-DM1 and AR-DM2 each provide tri-color LEDs for monitoring of signal presence and system status while the AR-DM1-B and AR-DM2-B provide 10 and 20-segment tri-color bargraphs respectively. Both VU and peak metering are supported. The flagship AR-DM2-L provides dual 4" high resolution 640xRGBx480 LCD monitors capable of displaying a wealth of information, including a high contrast, tri-color 16-bargraph display in one window while showing critical Metadata or Channel Status information in the other. Channel, Group, Mix, Dolby, and Balance selection - along with saved configurations - are easily accessed via the system's large navigation buttons. For audio playback, 1RU units provide twin loudspeakers while 2RU models provide larger, high performance transducers plus a subwoofer
