Heritage Audio RAM System 5000 – 5000 5.1 Rackmount Monitoring System Heritage Audio

After two years of intensive research and development, we are pleased to introduce our new range of Monitoring control solutions. RAM Systems Series, including 3 new products that will satisfy the needs of any studio size.

We’ve combined our state-of-the-art analog circuitry for a superior transparency and ultra-low noise distortion with modern features like Bluetooth connection, to deliver audiophile-quality sound and feature sets tailored for project studios, commercial recording facilities, and post-production houses who deliver in 5.1 surround. The top-of-the-line RAM System 5000 is designed for studios that require extensive, mastering-grade stereo and 5.1 monitoring functionality.

The three units are fitted with 64-step, gold-plated relay ladder attenuation for master level control — a feature usually found only on high-end large-format consoles. Our Bluetooth connectivity provides convenient wireless input for mobile devices. And with its classic RAF-gray cosmetics and prominent red Marconi knob, your RAM system will add a touch of class to your control room.

The System 5000 consists of a desktop-format, wireless remote monitor controller and a 19″ rackmount unit designed for maximum flexibility. Configurable for 5.1 or stereo, the System 5000 gives you generous I/O for easy integration into your monitoring setup.

For the modern hybrid studio, it provides all the functionality of a large-format console center section, including speaker switching, DIM, MUTE, and SOLO functionality, subwoofer management, headphone amplification, cue-mix distribution, wireless talkback, digital inputs with premium Wolfson D/A conversion, and even Bluetooth for easy mobile device integration. Whether you’re mixing hit records or sound for picture, the Heritage Audio RAM System 5000 will take your monitoring accuracy and versatility to a whole new level.
