IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• To reduce the risk of electric shock, never open the unit. There are no user-serviceable parts, refer service to an authorized Rockville service center.
• Do not expose this unit to any kind of moisture.
• Please ensure that the unit is situated in a properly ventilated area.
• Make sure the unit is placed on a level and stable surface.

Functions

1. Channel Reverb (EFFX): controls the amount of reverb added to the input signals.

2. Channel Treble control: ±15dB

3. Channel Bass control: ±15dB

4. Microphone/Low impedance XLR input: connect balanced low impedance microphones with an input impedance of 1K ohms PIN 1 = shield, PIN 2 = positive (hot), PIN 3 = negative (cold)
   WARNING: When using condenser microphones, make sure that Phantom power (15V) is switched on (see item14).

5. Line/High impedance %CTRS input: This input may be used as either high-impedance microphone input or for line-level devices such as a cassette player, CD player, video projector, or laptop. Will also allow connection from an electric guitar, bass, or keyboard. It is a two-conductor input with an impedance of 10K ohms.

6. Channel volume control: volume level should be lower than the master level. This control acts as a preamp, if you are us­ing a device that has a volume output control you will need to match levels by adjusting the level controls on each unit.

7. Master EFFX controls: Volume: Controls the level of the effects added back to the master mix.
   Echo: controls the character of the reverb that is added back to the master mix. It changes the rate at which the echo decays.
   Delay: controls the delay of the reverb that is added back to the master mix. Increasing this control will simulate the effects of a larger room.

8. 5 Band Master equalizer: ±12d13; 60Hz, 250Hz, 800Hz, 2KHz, 8KHz
   **WARNING: Most situations should require using no more than three controls simultaneously. Do not boost or cut all five at the same time. Excessive boosting will increase the probability of feedback.**

9. Output level LED indicators

10. IR receiver

11. USB/SD/BT radio digital controller: Play/Pause, Stop, Repeat, Rewind, Fast Forward. LCD screen alternates (every 3 seconds) between displaying track playing time and total time.

12. Mode control: Push to switch between modes (USB/SD/Bluetooth)

13. LED Power indicator

14. Phantom Power ON/OFF button (Red LED indicates power on)

15. Master volume controls the overall volume of the level of the mixer.

16. MP3 volume: controls USB/SD/BT input volume.

17. AUX volume: controls volume of line input.

18. USB input port

19. SD input slot

Please note: The RPM85 will not recognize Sd cards or USB drives formatted in the NTFS format. SD cards and drives must be formatted in the FAT or FAT32 formats.

Function (continued)

1. Power switch

2. IEC AC Power socket

3. User serviceable fuse

4. Speaker outputs: 1/4″TRS jacks accept 4 ohm or 8-ohm speakers.
   WARNING: Do not operate below rated minimum impedance.

5. Effect Return: 2-conductor’/4` line input connects the mixer to the output of an external effects device.

6. Line Out: 1/4″TRS line output is used to connect the mixer to a subwoofer or to send the line signal to an external device.

7. Rec output: sends a signal to any line-level recording device

8. Tape input: for connecting stereo audio from any number of line-level sources: mixing consoles, samplers, CD players, cas­sette decks, DAT machines, and other audio interfaces. Mono audio sources can be connected using an RCA “Y” cable connector.

Setup
In this setup, there is a powered subwoofer connected to the Walt jack and two 8-ohm speakers connected to the 1/4″8-Ohm Speaker Outputs on the back of the unit.

Setup (continued)

In this setup, there is a powered stage monitor connected to the 1/4″Out jack and two 8-ohm speakers connected to the W’8-Ohm Speaker Outputs on the back of the unit.

Once your speakers are hooked up, there are a variety of ways to use the RPM85’s many inputs and outputs. Diagrams for the outputs are located on the next page.
Please note: Line-level consumer devices such as CD players, tape decks, etc. will require an RCA to ‘AC cable.

Troubleshooting

ON position.
2. Check that the power cable is plugged in tightly to the unit.
3. Check and replace the fuse if necessary. See the fuse replacement diagram on the next page.
No sound| 1. Check that all appropriate cables are plugged incorrectly.
2. Check the Master Volume settings.
3. Check the individual level control of each channel as well as the MP3 volume control and CD/Tape volume control.
4. Be sure your microphone(s) is on.
Noise| 1. Turn down the channel levels one by one. If you don’t hear the sound, then the problem is either with the channel or whatever device is plugged into it.
2. Unplug the device(s) to see if the sound disappears.
3. Make sure you are using the proper cables. For V4- cables, there are 3 types: instrument, TS (unbalanced), and TRS (balanced). Check the requirements of the connected gear and make sure you are using the appropriate cable.
Buzzing sound| Make sure you are using a proper cable. For’/- cables, there are 3 types: instrument, TS (unbalanced), and TRS (balanced). Check the requirements of the connected gear and make sure you are using the appropriate cable.
Bluetooth pairing fails/no sound| 1. Check to see that both devices are turned on and that your Bluetooth device is discoverable.
2. Turn both devices off and then on again.
3. Make sure you’ve selected the proper source on the PPA50.
4. Make sure that the Bluetooth device is within 5 feet of the unit.
5. Move both devices away from other Bluetooth devices, microwaves, wireless routers, and other electronics.
6. Make sure that the unit is not connected to a previously paired device.
7. Make sure that all volume controls are set properly.
