AMS RMX16

Neve

A classic – reimagined

The world’s first microprocessor-controlled, full-bandwidth digital reverberator has characterised an enormous number of seminal recordings from the 1980s onwards – now it’s been adapted for 500 series format.

Original Algorithms

The RMX16 uses the same bit-for-bit algorithms from the original 1982 unit – resulting in pure 1980’s FX.

General Specification

• High-performance 32-bit DSP processing and 24-bit, 48KHz sampling with premium A/D and D/A converters.
• Over 100dB dynamic range with +22dBu of headroom.
• Adjustable input and output levels for optimum signal to noise performance.
• Low power consumption (and therefore cool running).
• Independent control of each program’s fundamental reverberant parameters.
• Nudge Buttons to increment or decrement data for all selectable reverberation functions.
• Alphanumeric program descriptions for ease of use when storing or recalling information for the unit’s memory.
• New rotary push encoder enabling all parameters and settings to be adjusted by ear.
• New wet/dry mix blend function.
• New save/recall feature with 100 user-defined memory slots.
• Heat Dissipation <7 watts
• Voltage +/-16V
• Current Amps RMS +/-16V 0.2A (MAX)
• Compatible 500-series rack/enclosure with Power Supply and line-level input/output connectors required, not supplied.
