User manual RANE TTM 52

[. . . ] OPERATORS MANUAL TTM 52 MOJO PERFORMANCE MIXER Quick Start Rane would like to thank you for selecting the TTM 52 Performance Mixer. The TTM 52 is one of the top performance mixers available. It features the same high quality components, reliability and performance as the Rane TTM 54 mixer with a reduced feature set (see the comparison chart on the last page of the Data Sheet, contained in this manual. ) For experienced turntablists, the operation of the TTM 52 will be very familiar, however, the TTM 52 has some unique features. These new features will be mastered more quickly if you read the entire manual. [. . . ] This signal is not affected by the Program Faders or Crossfader. PHONES PAN control is only active when CUE is selected. This control allows you to PAN between Program 1 or Program 2. HEADPHONES jack provides a high current output, capable of driving headphones between 8 ohms and 600 ohms. Manual-3 Because the amplifier is capable of high current drive, it is important that the outputs are not shorted together or to ground. Do NOT use single cup phones that short tip and ring. MASTER LEVEL adjusts the MASTER OUTPUT level for both the balanced and unbalanced outputs. Connect only the Rane RS 1 power supply included with your TTM 52. The ground screw terminal may be used to solve potential grounding problems with other equipment. MASTER OUT includes two sets of stereo outputs: The " TRS jacks provide high current BALanced output, which should be used whenever driving equipment with a balanced input or running distances greater than about 10 feet. Due to the high drive capability and low impedance, never use a mono " Tip/Sleeve (no ring) cable in this jack; this grounds one side of the BALanced output. Use the UNBALanced output for shorter runs, such as connecting to a recorder, looping to another mixer, or to other local signal processing or amplifiers. See Sound System Interconnection on page Manual-7. PGM 1 and PGM 2 inputs include both PHONO and LINE input. PHONO 1 and PHONO 2 inputs are RIAA compensated inputs with 18 dB per octave, 20 Hz rumble filters. LINE 1 and LINE 2 inputs are unbalanced line level inputs with a nominal sensitivity of -10 dBV. PHONO/LINE selection is made as described in section . PGM 1 inputs are sent to the left side of the Crossfader. (HAMSTER switch out) PGM 2 inputs are sent to the right side of the Crossfader. (HAMSTER switch out) PHONO GND terminals provide an independent ground connect point for two turntables. It is very important that each turntable have a very good ground connection to one of these terminals. The thumb screws are not captivated, so use care not to spin them off and lose them. The MIC INPUT is a balanced " TRS input specifically designed for a dynamic microphone. [. . . ] The key here is to prevent the shield currents from flowing into a unit whose grounding scheme creates ground loops (hum) in the audio path (i. e. , most audio equipment). Do not be tempted to use 3-prong to 2-prong "cheater" adapters to lift grounds. This is a dangerous and illegal practice. It is true that connecting both ends of the shield is theoretically the best way to interconnect equipment though this assumes the interconnected equipment is internally grounded properly. [. . . ]
