User manual RANE TTM 54I

[. . . ] OPERATORS MANUAL TTM 54i PERFORMANCE MIXER Quick Start For experienced turntablists, ninety percent of the operation of the TTM 54i Performance Mixer is obvious -- however, the TTM 54i also has many unique features. These new features will be mastered more quickly if you read the entire manual. We know some of you can't resist jumping right in, so please read at least this portion of the manual. · GAIN TRIM: These controls are intended to set the signal level before the Crossfader. [. . . ] The switches are replaceable and may be rotated. See 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. The control element is completely isolated from the audio using VCA circuits (voltage-controlled amplifier), providing the highest reliability and performance. See page Manual-6 for cleaning and replacement. PGM 1 and PGM 2 Meters provide true L+R Dual Mono indication of PostProgram Fader signal levels. Ten segment resolution is provided with a one second peak hold indication. With the Program Fader set to maximum, set the input GAIN TRIM to indicate an average level of about +4. Crossfader is implemented using Ranes' VCA 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.

Contour Switch 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 54i provides a level of flexibility and performance previously unavailable. 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 tearing them off after you plug them in with the level set too high. This Headphone Amplifier delivers very high sound pressure levels (SPL) into most headphones. Because of the high current and low output impedance, never short one side to ground or short left and right together as is possible with mono cup headphones. Note: Low power headphone stages typically use large resistors on their outputs, which allow shorting, but prevent high power. The TTM 54i gives you high power but does not allow shorting. [. . . ] Try combinations of lifting grounds on units that are supplied with ground lift switches or links. If your equipment is in a rack, verify that all chassis are tied to a good earth ground, either through the line cord grounding pin or the rack screws to another grounded chassis, or tied to the ground screw located just above the POWER jack. This unit's outboard power supply does not ground the chassis through the line cord. Make sure that this unit is grounded either to another chassis which is earth grounded, or directly to the grounding screw on an AC outlet cover by means of a wire connected to a screw on the chassis with a star washer to guarantee proper contact. Please refer to RaneNote "Sound System Interconnection" (supplied with this manual and available at our web site) for further information on system grounding.
