Over two years of intensive research and development went into the Heritage Audio Reference Audio Monitoring systems, and it shows. Sharing the same state-of-the-art circuitry and core analog audio path, the three RAM systems 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 middle entry in the series is the RAM System 2000, designed for the studio that needs enhanced, mastering-grade stereo monitoring capabilities.

The System 2000 features generous I/O, with three pairs of +4dBu balanced analog inputs and three stereo outputs, an independent pre-fader Mix Out, independent stereo Cue I/O, a S/PDIF coax input, and pro-audio-quality Bluetooth input for easy mobile device integration. The 2000's two audiophile-grade diamond-buffer-based headphone amplifiers are capable of driving any headphones without noise or coloration. For easy recall of common settings, two user-assignable preset levels are provided. For communicating with talent, there's a built-in talkback with console-style management. Lastly, Heritage Audio equipped the RAM System 2000 with an independent subwoofer output that lets you effortlessly share your sub between different speaker pairs.

What had been conceived as a gathering for an expected 10 or so guests had quickly grown to a full-fledged event attracting several dozen attendees joined by a bounce house, snow cone machine and a feast that could feed a small village.

Next, I was quite pleased to find that the control panel is top-mounted on the sub and not on the back. I could just look down to change parameters and not have to get on my hands and knees and bend over to see the screen to make adjustments. It also means that changes are easier to make with the unit located next to a wall.

Connectivity & Coverage

Eager to check out the app, I downloaded it on my iPhone. The phone quickly discovered the loudspeakers via Bluetooth, and then in using it, I found that the app provides a lot of control. I could adjust the volume of both A and B channels, the volume of a third channel for Bluetooth streaming audio, the master volume, sub volume, and EQ, as well as switch between the four preset EQ modes. Walking to the far corner of the coverage area, I found solid connectivity at more than 100 feet away.

During the event, numerous guests commented on how great the system sounds, with some also pointing out how nice it looks. The 120-degree horizontal dispersion is solid, even off to the sides, just out of the pattern. I had no trouble filling the entire outdoor space with a single stack. At 81 inches tall, the tweeter and some of the mid-range cones are above the heads of a standing crowd, so when folks would stand between the loudspeaker and myself, it was still clear rather than muffled.

After the event I checked out the Bluetooth streaming capabilities. The iP2000 allows streaming audio to one or two loudspeaker stacks, with selection of which stack is the master. The app also automatically detects stereo mode and adapts the GUI accordingly. I also evaluated the app and connectivity on an android phone and had the same success. Fast, solid, and no problems at all.

It features extensive connectivity options, with three pairs of +4dBu balanced analog inputs and three stereo outputs with a shared subwoofer output, an independent pre-fader MIX OUT, independent stereo CUE I/O, a S/PDIF coax input, and pro-audio-quality Bluetooth input for easy mobile device integration. The two audiophile headphone amplifiers can drive any headphones without noise or coloration. The console-style Talkback with various routing option makes it easy to communicate with artists.

The RAM System 2000 relies on state-of-the-art analog circuitry for superior transparency and ultra-low noise and distortion. Employing gold plated relay switching throughout as the working principle - including a 64-step relay ladder attenuator system for the master level - it offers accuracy and sonics found on high-end large-format consoles.
