User manual RANE FLM 82

[. . . ] To change this, the top cover must be removed and the switches reset to the desired position following the legends on the circuit board assembly. Like many of the Flex Series modules, the FLM 82 provides busing capabilities so that it may be included in a larger mixer configuration with other modules. The FLEX BUS INPUT on the rear will sum all previous modules on the Bus with the Inputs of the FLM 82. The FLEX BUS OUT connector makes available all signals on the Bus Input as well as locally generated program material in the FLM 82. [. . . ] As mentioned elsewhere in this manual, the AUX SENDS may be either PRE or POST fade (before or after the input LEVEL controls). This determination is made internally based on the switch positions located on the printed circuit board beneath the top cover. Another set of concentric controls, the inner knob adjusts the MASTER OUTPUT A level on the rear panel, the outer sets the MASTER OUTPUT B level. These controls have no effect on the FLEX BUS OUT levels. The light, when present, is created by the forward bias condition of the gallium arsenide junction encapsulated within the yellow plastic, which serves two purposes: one, to act as a lens for the light and the other to protect the delicate solid state chip within. Or, if you prefer, if this light is lit the powers on. REAR PANEL DESCRIPTION 1. These are the four main stereo inputs to the FLM 82. The tip of each connects to the respective Channel A input, the ring is used for Channel B. This DIN connector supplies all local master A and B program signal as well as the Aux A and B signals. It also sends any information coming into the FLEX BUS IN connector on to other modules further down the line. This connector is used to tie other Flex Series mixing modules to the FLM 82. Both master & aux program material from the FLM 82 is added to this BUS INPUT. Engaging this switch causes the A and B MASTER buses (local only, not the Flex Bus) and the Aux A and B buses to be added together to create one signal from two. It may be used in instances where only mono inputs are connected to the FLM 82 and two outputs (A and B) are required on both MASTER and AUX Outputs. It may be also used to convert a two channel program input to a mono output. This switch affects only the direct outputs on the rear of the unit. It has no effect over FLEX BUS INPUTS or FLEX BUS OUTPUTS. Primarily designed to allow signal processing to be inserted in the Aux buses, these jacks may also be used for direct Aux Outputs should the need arise. See the System Connection section on the front page of this manual for more information. The tip is the pos connection, the ring is neg and sleeve is signal ground. USE ONLY A MODEL RS 1, FRS 8, OR OTHER REMOTE AC POWER SUPPLY APPROVED BY RANE. The FLM 82 is supplied with a remote power supply suitable for connection to this input jack. [. . . ] All sleeves should be tied together through the cable shields. This slightly unusual cable is a standard product for most cable companies. The SYSTEM CONNECTION section on the front page of this document explains how to use the AUX LOOPs as Aux Outputs. The Aux signals may be picked up before or after the Input level controls. The switches which determine the pickup points are located beneath the top cover of the unit and require some disassembly to reach them. [. . . ]
