CHAPTER 5: RMS REMOTE MONITORING SYSTEM
LYON includes an RMS remote monitoring system module,
allowing the loudspeaker to be connected to an RMS
network. RMS reports, in real time, the status and power
usage of multiple Meyer Sound loudspeakers from a Mac
®
or
Windows
®
-based computer. The RMServer
™
communicates
with Meyer Sound loudspeakers equipped with RMS
modules. RMServer
™
is a compact, Ethernet-based hardware
unit with two FT-10 RMS data ports. RMServer stores system
configurations internally, eliminating most manual data entry.
Systems can be monitored from a computer at front-of-house
or backstage, or from a laptop anywhere within the venue over
WiFi.
NOTE: For the latest RMS system require-
ments, visit the Meyer Sound website
(

).
NOTE: RMS does not control AC power.
COMPASS RMS SOFTWARE
Compass RMS
™
software provides extensive system status
and performance data for each loudspeaker, including
amplifier voltage, limiting activity, power output, fan and
driver status, as well as mute and solo capability.
Loudspeakers are added to the RMS network and assigned
a node name during a one-time discovery procedure. After
loudspeakers are identified on the RMS network, they appear
in Compass RMS as icons that can be customized to suit your
needs (Figure17).
Individual loudspeakers can be physically identified with the
Wink option in RMS, which lights the Wink LED on the RMS
module of that particular loudspeaker. Conversely, a
loudspeaker can be identified in Compass RMS by pressing
the Identify button on the loudspeaker’s RMS module.
Loudspeaker icons can be arranged in Compass RMS and
saved as pages to represent how the loudspeakers have been
deployed in the system. Multiple pages can be saved and
recalled for specific performances and venues.
RMS MODULE
The LYON RMS user panel includes an Identify button,
Remote Mute switch, Wink/Activity LED, and two Network
connectors (Figure 18).
NOTE: The Identify button and Wink/Activity
LED on the RMS user panel are used exclu-
sively by RMS and have no effect on the acoustical or
electrical activity of the loudspeaker.
Identify Button
The Identify button serves the following functions:
•If the loudspeaker has not yet been discovered on the
RMS network (Wink/Activity LED not lit), press the Iden-
tify button to discover it.
•To remove the loudspeaker from the RMS network,
press and hold the Identify button during startup (see
“Resetting the RMS Module” on page 26).
•To wink a discovered loudspeaker, press the Identify
button. The Wink LED on the loudspeaker icon in Com-
pass RMS lights up and the Wink/Activity LED on the
loudspeaker’s RMS user panel turns solid green. Press
the Identify button again to unwink the loudspeaker.
TIP: The Wink function is useful for identifying
the physical loudspeaker corresponding to a
loudspeaker icon in Compass RMS.
