[QUOTE="George Jetson, post: 77523, member: 1963"] Yeah I am curious about this too because I have my first RM22 on its way to me. The manual is pure crap because it is combined for the RM20 which clearly states "Silent" on its switch. From the manual: "[i][b]Silent Mode[/b] sends amp signal to XLR output and mutes speaker outputs- The amp can work standalone without speaker hooked up (Automatic when no external speaker connected on Head versions) [b]Standby Mode[/b] - amp is powered but no output- Leave in this mode when powering on and off".[/i] I [i]think[/i] that means that the "standby" switch on the head works just like the "silent" switch on the RM20, i.e. it outputs to the XLR jack when the head detects that no speaker cables are inserted. The other way to interpret that is when the switch is in the "play" position and no speaker cables are inserted, the head automatically goes into "Silent" mode. That could be an expensive experiment. The weird thing is if you look at the older pictures of the RM22 the switch is labeled "silent" and "live", but the newer pics clearly have an attached label over the switch that has "standby" and "play" positions. I'll have to fire up the RM20 and see how the "silent" mode works exactly....check and see if the power tubes are glowing or it is in preamp mode only.
