User manual RANE AM2 INSTALLATION

[. . . ] The AM1 registers with the OS as a 16-bit 48 kHz device for both incoming and outgoing audio. The USB Audio port doubles as a firmware update port if future updates become available. The XLR Main Output can be set to Mic- or Line-level to feed a mic snake or a +20 dBu max balanced input. The front panel Output Level control affects the XLR Output and the RAD Port output. [. . . ] However, the provided equipment may be operated by presenters who have no audio experience. If an operator is sent with the equipment to set up and manage the system during the presentation, that operator may have little audio experience. Pitfalls abound when interconnecting the system, and managing multimicrophone gain before feedback, mixing and volume. Handling iPod and laptop playback and/or recording adds even more complexity. Enter the Rane AM1.

CASCADE IN MAIN OUTPUT RECORD AUX INPUTS 1 4 3 MIC INPUTS 2 1 AUTOMIXER AM1 AM1 Features INPUTS: · Gain-Sharing Automatic Mic Mixing: · 4 XLR Inputs with Level controls & Sig/OL indicators. · Select Mic, Mic with 48V phantom, or Line-level. · Manually Mix: · Overall Mic Mix. · Two Aux Inputs: dual RCA & 3. 5 mm, independently monoed. · USB Audio Input (16-bit, 48 kHz). · USB Charge Port for iPod or other USB-powered devices. Each of the eight XLR Mic Inputs offers front panel input Level controls feeding a gain-sharing automatic mixer. Rear panel, 3-position selectors support dynamic mics (no phantom power), condenser mics (48 V), or wireless receiver outputs (+10 dBu max). All Level controls come with front panel signal and overload indicators. The AM2 is optimized for automixing speech. The mic inputs have a fixed 100 Hz to 7 kHz bandpass filter to provide the best voice-only automatic mixing using the gain-sharing algorithm. The XLR Main Output can be set to mic- or line-level to feed a mic snake or a +20 dBu max balanced input. When an AM2 is used standalone, both the XLR Output and the RAD Port output audio are affected by the front panel Output Level control. When the AM2's Cascade Output feeds a downstream Rane AM1 or AM2, the front panel Output Level control only affects the XLR Output. The USB port is solely used as a firmware update port if future updates are needed. The RAD Port sends the AM2 Output mix to a Rane Mongoose for routing to output RADs and/or a CobraNet network. Cascade IN accepts audio and data from an upstream AM2's Cascade OUT. [. . . ] Shielded CAT 5 cable and termination transport four digital audio channels ­ two channels in each direction ­ as well as power, ground and a communications channel via Rane's proprietary RAD Network.
