The RMC Poly-Drive II is a 6 channel polyphonic preamp with 3-band equalizer and
guitar/synth controls in a Direct Box format. The unit measures 3.5" X4.5" X2.25"
and operates either from the onboard 9V battery or from bipolar phantom power
(+/- & V.D.C.) typically provided by Roland guitar synths and compatible processors
The Polyphonic section of the preamp buffers teh separate string signals and
routes them separately to the POLY OUT jack. The separate string signals are
also combined in the 'DMX' feedback elimination circuit which produces a mono
instrument signal. The mono signal is then equalized, passed through the INSTR.
VOLUME control, buffered with a low output impedance Line Driver and fed to both
the MONO OUT and the POLY OUT jacks.

6 'factory equalized' string channels, feedback eliminator circuitry, a 3-band EQ
with Mid-Range Frequency Select switch, and synth drive controls. Power can be
supplied either internally by a single 9V battery or externally via the 13-pin DIN
connector when the unit is connectd to a polyphonic processor, guitar/synth or
MIDI converter.
The unit comes complete with a 6ft. multi-conductor cable and locking DIN
instrument connector for easy operation and high reliability in demanding stage
and studio applications. Longer cable lengths are also available at a slight
surcharge.
