Rane RPE 228 Users Guide - Manual (Page 2)

Hardware
Tamper-proof doesn’t have to mean dead-front.
So... how about our hindquarters? Well, since this product was conceived, intended, planned
and determined for unqualified success in the fixed-installation markets, Rane made the ins and outs
“just right” for those applications.
Signal Input and Output are easy to wire and detachable Euroblock connectors (also known as
Phoenix™ connectors).
• The RPE 228 is a standard one rackspace (1U) high, full 19-inch wide unit.
• The unit is tamper-proof, and does not reuqire a computer for daily operation.
• The front panel provides critical information that is most helpful to a technician or end-user. While
Rane subscribes to the concept that tamper-proof programmable equalizers are important, Rane
believes that technicians can greatly benefit from status indicators. So, our front panel includes:
Power On Indicator: Hey, the juice is on!
Communications: (When “talking” to the unit) “I’m listening and will do as I’m told.”
Bypass (Each Channel): What an expensive patch cord!
Signal Presence (Each Channel): Incoming, Incoming!
Clip (Each Channel): Okay, enough already; turn it down!
