User manual RANE TTM 54

[. . . ] OPERATORS MANUAL TTM 54 PERFORMANCE MIXER Quick Start Congratulations!You are now the proud owner of the best Performance Mixer available. For experienced turntablists, ninety percent of the operation of the TTM 54 Performance Mixer is obvious -- however, the TTM 54 also has many unique features. These new features will be mastered more quickly if you read the entire manual. [. . . ] HAMSTER switches are provided for PGM 1 and PGM 2 Program Faders. These switches reverse the operation of the adjacent Program Fader. When engaged, signal is off with the Program Fader up, and maximum with the Program Fader down. Figure 2. Contour Switch PHONO / LINE source select switches are provided for PGM 1 and PGM 2. These are "clickless" switches suitable for "transform scratch" applications. The switches are field replaceable and may be rotated in 45 increments. See Figure 4 on page Manual-6 for rotation and replacement instructions. Program Fader controls for PGM 1 and PGM 2 are ultra low noise, long-life, monorail devices. An ActiveFaderTM design completely isolates the control element from the audio, providing the highest reliability and performance. See page Manual-6 for cleaning and replacement instructions. PGM 1 and PGM 2 Meters provide true L+R Dual Mono indication of Post-Program Fader signal levels. Ten segment resolution is provided with a one second peak hold indication. With the Program Fader set to maximum, the input GAIN TRIM should be set to indicate an average level of about +4. Crossfader control is implemented using Ranes' proprietary ActiveFaderTM design. As with the Program Faders, all audio is isolated from the control element, greatly extending the life and performance of the control. See page Manual-6 for cleaning and replacement instructions CROSSFADER CONTOUR control allows adjusting the "shape" of the Crossfader response from a gentle curve for smooth, long running fades, to the steep pitch required for top performance cut and scratch effects shown in Figure 3. CROSSFADER HAMSTER control allows reversing the operation of the Crossfader. With the combination of ActiveFaderTM, CONTOUR control, and HAMSTER control, the TTM 54 provides a level of flexibility and performance previously unavailable. Figure 3. Crossfader Contour control Manual-3 PHONES LEVEL control adjusts the loudness of the Headphone output signal. Always start with the LEVEL at minimum (CCW) and increase to a comfortable level with signal present and your headphones on. This prevents tossing them across the room after you put them on and plug in with the level set too high. The TTM 54 Headphone Amplifier delivers very high sound pressure levels (SPL) into most headphone loads. [. . . ] 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. [. . . ]
