CTP Systems DRM26 Dual VCA Mixer w/ Two Remotes

Advanced Mixing in a Compact Form
The DRM26 represents the pinnacle of rack-mount audio mixing technology. Occupying just 1RU of rack space, this unit is a powerhouse, featuring two 6:1 VCA mixers. Its compact size belies its powerful capabilities, making it an ideal choice for space-conscious audio environments.

Remote Control for Ultimate Flexibility
A standout feature of the DRM26 is its remote control functionality. The unit comes with two remote controls, allowing for both local and remote operation. This flexibility is crucial for scenarios where direct access to the mixer is not feasible, such as in remote broadcasting or live event scenarios.

Seamless Integration in Broadcasting
The typical application of the DRM26 shines in remote mixing, especially for radio talkback. Imagine a scenario where the unit is mounted in a truck, connected to a radio talkback transmitter. In the studio, the presenter or floor manager can adjust their mix remotely, maintaining the freedom and flexibility of radio talkback. This feature is a game-changer in live broadcasting, offering unprecedented control.

Intuitive and User-Friendly Design
Ease of use is at the heart of the DRM26's design. Switching between remote and local mix control is straightforward, with a control button that illuminates red in remote control mode. Each mixer has its own dedicated control button, simplifying the operation and ensuring a smooth mixing experience.

Reliable Remote Operation
The remote control's 'Remote Active' LED is a small but significant feature, indicating when the mix is being adjusted remotely. This is particularly useful for system checks during setup. Operating the remote is as simple as pressing the update button while adjusting the mix levels, with battery power used only during this process to extend battery life.

Efficient Connectivity and Power Supply
The DRM26 boasts efficient connectivity, requiring just a standard 3-pin XLR for connection between the remote and the mixer unit. With a data transfer distance exceeding 400 meters using reasonable cable, it offers great flexibility in setup. All mixer audio inputs, outputs, and data connections are XLR, ensuring high-quality audio transmission. The unit operates on a 230Vac 50Hz power supply, catering to a wide range of power environments.
