Partyline: Where are the stage announce connections on the RM-702 panel?
Question: I don't see a 3-pin XLR connector for the stage announce output on the RM-702 panel. How do I access this connection on the remote panel?
Answer:
The RM-702 stage announce output is located on the accessory DB-15F connector on the rear of the panel. See the drawing below for the DB-15F pin outs
Pin 06 = + announce audio output
Pin 13 = - announce audio output
Pin 05 = Ground
To connect to the announce output, connect a shielded twisted-pair cable to pins #6 and #13 of the accessory connector and use pin #5 for connection of the shield.
A relay is provided that activates when the announce button is pressed and its contacts are also available on the accessory connector. The relay is rated for 2.0 Amps of DC current at 24 Vdc.
