Sonifex RM-CAD8 Confidence Monitor Review
The RM-CAD8 combines the proven power of the RM-CA2 with expanded options for digital inputs, giving you more flexibility when handling different sources. With two stereo analog inputs and six digital inputs—including AES/EBU, S/PDIF, and optical—you can connect almost anything with confidence. Its three-way speaker system uses DSP processing and Class-D amplifiers for clean, accurate sound that holds up even under heavy use. Add in smart features like automatic speaker muting when headphones are plugged in, phase error detection, and protective limiters, and you have a powerful tool that is built to last.
Standard vs DC Power Input Models
The standard model of the Sonifex RM-CAD8 Confidence Monitor runs directly from global AC mains power, making it easy to plug in and use anywhere in the world without adjustment. The DC Power Input model, on the other hand, is built for installations where power needs to come from a backup supply or a central DC power system. This makes the DC version ideal for mobile rigs, broadcast trucks, or critical environments where uninterrupted operation is essential.
