Remote Audio Mixing Control-Stainless

Ideal Use Cases

The RDL DS-RC2 is intended for installations that require two-channel remote audio mixing control from a single control location. It works with RDL remote-controlled mixers equipped with the light-blue, color-coded control jack. The panel provides single-turn rotary controls, giving an operator direct physical access to the compatible mixer’s remote-control functions. This stainless steel version is suited to systems where the specified panel finish and compact electrical-box mounting format meet the installation requirements.

Why Choose This Model

The DS-RC2 combines two-channel control, direct mixer compatibility, and a straightforward wired connection in one compact panel. Its RJ45 control connector links to compatible RDL mixers through standard twisted-pair wiring. This configuration makes the model a focused choice when the system already uses an RDL mixer with an RJ45 remote-control port. The two rotary controls are single-turn designs, and the panel is designed for operation from one control location.

Compatibility is clearly defined: the target mixer must be an RDL remote-controlled model with a light-blue, color-coded control jack. This identification helps distinguish the specified control connection from other RJ45-format ports that may be present in an installation.

Installation and Integration

The panel mounts in a standard US electrical box. Its specified dimensions are 4.1 inches high by 1.7 inches wide, with a depth of 1.44 inches without the knob and 2 inches with the knob. Metric measurements are 10.4 cm high by 4.33 cm wide, with a depth of 3.7 cm without the knob and 5 cm with the knob. A cover plate is available separately.

Integration uses the panel’s RJ45 control connector and standard twisted-pair interconnection to the mixer. Before installation, confirm that the selected RDL mixer has the required light-blue control jack. The source information specifies this connection for direct control of compatible RDL mixers; it does not identify the RJ45 connector as an Ethernet or network interface.

Engineering resources listed for the model include an American DXF functional block file and American DXF front and rear panel diagrams. A PDF specification sheet and TIF high-resolution image resources are also identified in the supplied product data.

Performance Highlights

The principal performance feature is direct remote control of two mixer channels through physical, single-turn rotary controls. The DS-RC2 places both controls at one location and connects them to a compatible mixer through twisted-pair wiring. Its function is specifically documented as remote audio mixing control, allowing the connected RDL mixer to remain integrated with the wider audio system while its supported controls are positioned at the designated panel location.

The product data does not specify audio bandwidth, signal processing, network control, wireless operation, or power requirements. Its documented role is the wired remote-control interface between the panel and a compatible RDL mixer.

What Makes It Different

The DS-RC2 is defined by a tightly specified combination of features: two-channel operation, two single-turn rotary controls, one control location, an RJ45 control connector, and compatibility with selected RDL mixers. The stainless steel configuration differentiates this listing from the RDL White/Gray finish also identified in the product information.

Its standard US electrical-box mounting format supports an installed panel arrangement rather than a freestanding control surface. The separate cover-plate availability also allows that component to be selected independently. With a listed WEEE weight of 0.315 lb and package dimensions of 3.625 x 4.625 x 2.125 inches, the DS-RC2 is supplied in a cardboard box with a listed shipping weight of 0.46 lb.

Final Assessment

Choose the RDL DS-RC2 when the project calls for a stainless steel, two-channel remote mixing control panel for a compatible RDL mixer. It provides single-turn rotary operation, direct control through the mixer’s light-blue RJ45 remote-control jack, and standard twisted-pair interconnection. Its defined electrical-box mounting dimensions make it possible to confirm fit before installation, while the separately available cover plate should be accounted for when planning the completed panel assembly.
