Remote Audio Mixing Control with Muting

The RDL D-RC2M is a two-channel remote audio mixing control panel designed to operate compatible RDL remote-controlled mixers from one control location. Each channel combines a single-turn rotary control with its own alternate-action mute pushbutton, giving the operator direct access to level control and output muting. A red/green indicator communicates mute state at a glance: red means muted, while green means active. Connection to the mixer is through an RJ45 control connector and standard twisted-pair interconnection.

Ideal Use Cases

This model is intended for systems that need remote access to two mixer channels at one fixed operator position. It fits installations built around an RDL remote-controlled mixer equipped with the specified light-blue color-coded control jack. The available control set is clearly defined: adjust the channels through single-turn rotary controls, toggle each output on or off with a dedicated pushbutton, and verify the operating state from the color indication. It is suited to an operator location where these essential mixing functions must be available separately from the mixer. The standard twisted-pair link provides the stated interconnection between the control panel and mixer.

Why Choose This Model

The D-RC2M places level adjustment, muting, and visual state feedback on one two-channel panel. Each channel has an alternate-action pushbutton that toggles its output on and off, allowing the operator to change mute status directly. The indicator uses an unambiguous color assignment: red for muted and green for active. Compatibility is also specifically identified, helping installers match the panel with RDL remote-controlled mixers that use the light-blue control jack. For systems that meet that requirement, the RJ45 connector and standard twisted-pair interconnection provide a defined method for linking the remote panel to the mixer.

Installation and Integration

The panel mounts in a standard US electrical box. A cover plate is available separately and should be accounted for when planning the completed installation. The panel measures 4.1 inches high by 1.7 inches wide, equivalent to 10.4 by 4.33 centimeters. Depth is 1.44 inches or 3.7 centimeters without the knob and 2 inches or 5 centimeters with the knob. These measurements allow the box location, clearance, and finished projection of the rotary controls to be considered before installation. Integration requires an RJ45 connection and standard twisted-pair wiring to a compatible mixer. Before installation, confirm that the selected RDL mixer has the specified light-blue color-coded remote-control jack. The panel is available in RDL White/Gray or Stainless Steel.

Performance Highlights

The D-RC2M focuses on the control functions required for two remote mixer channels. Its single-turn rotary controls provide the stated channel adjustments from the panel, while one alternate-action mute pushbutton is provided per channel. Pressing a mute button toggles the corresponding output between on and off. When an output is muted, the indicator is red; when it is active, the indicator is green. This combination keeps adjustment, mute operation, and status checking at the same control location. Direct control is provided for RDL mixers equipped with an RJ45 remote-control port, subject to the stated compatibility requirement.

What Makes It Different

The defining configuration of the D-RC2M is the combination of two-channel rotary mixing control and dedicated muting within a single remote panel. The controls do not rely on mute status alone being inferred from button position because the red/green indication explicitly identifies whether the output is muted or active. Its installation format is also clearly specified: a standard US electrical box, an RJ45 control connector, and standard twisted-pair interconnection to the mixer. The choice of RDL White/Gray or Stainless Steel provides two stated finish options, while the separately available cover plate allows that component to be selected as part of the installation.

Final Assessment

The RDL D-RC2M is a focused choice for a compatible RDL mixer system requiring two-channel remote level control, per-channel output muting, and visible mute-state indication from one location. Its essential requirements are straightforward to verify: the mixer must use the specified light-blue control jack, the connection is RJ45 over standard twisted pair, and the panel mounts in a standard US electrical box. Installers should also account for the separately available cover plate and the panel depth with its knobs. When those requirements match the system, the D-RC2M supplies the listed remote control functions in a clearly defined panel format.
