Meyer Sound RMS to Compass Control Interface

Compass RMS is the latest in remote monitoring technology from Meyer Sound. Comprised of RMServer compact hardware, Compass software, and RMS modules in the loudspeakers, it is simple to configure and easy to use on Windows and Mac operating systems. Compass RMS helps you get the best out of your sound systems by reporting the exact status of every loudspeaker and how much power is being applied, at any time. With Compass as the control software for Compass RMS systems, monitoring is an element of a fully integrated software platform for deploying and optimizing sound reinforcement systems over Ethernet.

Features:

• Extensive real-time loudspeaker feedback for amplifiers, drivers, limiting, cooling, and fault alerts
• Ethernet-based control and communications built on open standards
• Backwards-compatible with existing RMS-equipped Meyer Sound loudspeakers
• RMS is now controlled and configured within Compass software
• Mute and solo individual loudspeakers or groups of loudspeakers
• Wink and ID controls easily locate any loudspeaker in the entire system
• Loudspeaker RMS modules connect easily to networks with twisted-pair cabling
• Email notifications even when Compass is not running
