User manual RANE SM 26S

[. . . ] If you get that, you may stop here as long as you know what a TRS plug is. As a six channel mixer, MONO INPUT 1 through 6 may be placed on the Right or Left bus or both, in any amount. The respective LEVEL controls on the front serve as the mixer's faders, the adjacent PAN controls place the channel's signal into the stereo field. As an effects mixer or line level expander for a larger mixer, set up the LEVELS then adjust the PANS. [. . . ] The tip is hot (+), the ring is return (­) and the sleeve is ground. RaneNote, "Sound System Interconnection" (included here) contains some great pictures to aid your interconnect ventures. WEAR PARTS: This product contains no wear parts.

In the splitting mode, this controls the Level of all Mono channel Outputs at once (i. e. , those which do not have a separate input). 2 Mono Input LEVEL controls the Level of signal through each particular channel. When fed from the MONO INPUT jack, each stage has a gain range from Off to +12 dB minimum, allowing level matching of -10 dBV equipment to +4 dBu gear. When fed via the LEFT & RIGHT MASTER IN, these LEVEL controls automatically limit to a maximum of unity gain to accommodate the +12 dB available from the Left & Right Input gain stages. 3 MIX / PAN serves two different functions: MIX: When used as a SPLITTER, this controls the mix of Left and Right Master Input program to each channel's MONO OUT. PAN: When used as a MIXER, this control pans the Mono channel Input between the LEFT and RIGHT MIX OUTPUTS. 4 MASTER OUTPUT LEVEL controls the gain of the output stages and the amount of signal at the MIX OUTPUT jacks. It does not affect the level of any of the six MONO OUTPUTs. This allows an increase in headroom to eliminate overloading due to excessive combined signal from one or more Inputs. Range of gain is from Off to 0 dB (unity). 5 POWER indicator: When this yellow LED is lit, the SM 26S is ready to go (when it's off, it's not).

MIX OUTPUT MONO OUTPUTS EXPAND OUT MASTER IN MONO INPUTS 6 5 3 4 1 2 1 MASTER IN are balanced Tip-Ring-Sleeve (TRS) ¼" Master Inputs. These Inputs feed all six MONO OUTs when all MONO INs are not used. Connecting to individual MONO INs disconnects that channel from these Inputs (refer to the Block Diagram). For unbalanced operation use a standard mono ¼" plug; for balanced operation use a TRS (stereo) ¼" plug wired as follows: TIP is signal + (connect to Pin 2 on a 3-pin connector). RING is signal ­ (pin 3 in a 3-pin connector). 2 MONO INPUTS are TRS ¼" jacks which accept either balanced or unbalanced mono signals. These are switching jacks which automatically bypass the MASTER IN jacks whenever a plug is inserted (see the Block Diagram). [. . . ] If an SM 26S needs to have an additional set of independent outputs, as in a 2x4 stereo distribution amplifier (see Swiss Army Mixer, Figure 10), the LEFT and RIGHT MIX OUTPUTS can be used in addition to the 6 MONO OUTS. Normally, the LEFT and RIGHT MIX OUTPUTS produce the sum mix of all 6 LEVEL and PAN controls. To break any channel away from the Mix Output bus, internal jumpers have been provided. These are located behind the MIX/PAN controls for each channel. [. . . ]
