equipment rack. With the Rane FVL 22 Remote
Volume Level controller and the RPS 4, continuous
volume and EQ presets can be controlled by a
couple of knobs on a wall plate or in a lectern!
The wiring diagram for a simple two program
selector is shown below. This will toggle between
programs 1 and 2.
The Rane RWS 4 is a four position wall mount
switch designed to fit a 75 ohm coax wall plate. It
will supply four program changes to the MPEs using
any 3 conductor cable. Here's an actual size drawing
along with the wiring diagram.
RPS 4 Remote Program Selector
In some applications, it may be desirable to switch
the MPE programs from a remote location, without
the use of a computer or MIDI controller. A simple
switch to change programs can also make operation

on your MPE and/or any other MIDI controlled
device in your system. The sound equipment can
then be locked up in a rack somewhere else, possibly
minimizing cable runs and curious fingers. Presets
can be made for different program material, occu-
