Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the REDGUM RGMP8 Media Player
An Audiophile’s constant Quest #1a: to gain quality music with all the drama intact.
An Audiophile’s constant Quest #1b: setting up a quality system without all the drama!
Enter REDGUM’s new Media Player, the RGMP8. Automatically creating its own WiFi environment, you
can literally stop to party in any eld and the music will be outstanding!
The core idea behind this system design is that as a Media Player, it requires no infrastructure i.e. it can
easily be set up and operated by someone who has no computer knowledge whatsoever!
What makes the RGMP8 stand-alone is thanks to the WiFi hotspot it sets up at switch on. (In other words,
to function, it does not require the Internet or a network connection, but can make use of it if available.)
Then simply logging in via your smart phone/tablet/laptop/any web browser allows you to control your
music les. So no matter where you are situated in that moment, the RGMP8’s WiFi gives you the control
to access your choice of music on your choice of device.
For your Ears’ sake, this Media Player is not involved in the transmission of Audio les (as per Bluetooth).
Rather, it deals solely with those les stored within its own Solid State Hard Drive (so no noise artifacts), or
larger hard-drive storage tted both as internal or external Hard Drives.
And for the latter, there are 6 USB connectors. Which still leaves plenty of charge points for your phone or
tablet batteries at the same time, or later once not in use.
At its core, the heart of this Media Player starts by focusing on the music les you have and love. As these
loves can change over time with new ways to deliver music, features can be added on an opt-in basis
according to availability and user enthusiasm for open source software. Streaming services such as Tidal
are supported via software implementation and for which instructions are included.
Adding a new angle to the idea of future-proong, the fact that this Media Player runs on 12V means it is
an ideal product for low energy homes, with or without wheels! Indeed, travelling in a caravan around a
continent need not be a restriction to one’s Audiophile needs. Whether planning a getting-away-from-it-all
party on a far-ung beach, or in the depths of the country, having the RGMP8 in charge means your sound
can be outstanding … in any eld!
