RTA-M Omni Condenser Measurement Microphone

The dbx RTA-M is a real-time audio analyzing microphone made specifically to work with the DriveRack PA, PA+, and 260 loudspeaker management processors. When you run the System Setup Wizard or Auto EQ Wizard on those units, the RTA-M is what listens to the room and feeds back the measurement data the processor uses to correct speaker levels and equalization automatically. It's built as an omni-directional condenser element with a flat frequency response across 20Hz to 20kHz, so it picks up an accurate, uncolored picture of what's actually happening in the room rather than emphasizing certain frequencies the way a directional vocal mic would. It runs on phantom power supplied directly by the DriveRack unit, so there's no separate power supply to carry or lose track of, and it comes with a clip and a case for easy mounting and storage between jobs. For anyone running room correction or auto EQ on a DriveRack system, the RTA-M is the accessory that makes those automated processes actually work, turning a guess at room acoustics into a measured, repeatable result.
