Each room has a mic and\/or line input, front-panel volume adjustment and RDL Dual-LED VU metering, and a paging input can override normal operation when required. Programming is simple and adapts to a wide range of room layouts, making it a practical room combining controller for divisible ballrooms, conference centers and school facilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow does it work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/rdlnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/rcx-5c.jpg\" alt=\"RDL RCX-5C room combining system controller\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe RCX-5C is programmed to match the room layout, so audio routing follows the way partitions open and close. Each room can bring in a microphone, a line source or both, and every source has its own Dual-LED VU meter for level setting. A music input can be selected from a non-combined room, and the paging input can override normal operation for announcements. All switching and gain control is electronic and retained in memory.
