REAR PANEL DESCRIPTION
1
AC Power IEC input
accepts electrons to power up the AM1. Though it is first in this list, it’s best to connect it last.
2
FAULT
indicator
lights when something goes awry.
LOCATE
indicator
flashes when toggled from the Mongoose Tracker software. When using multiple AM1 devices in a Rane
Mongoose-based CobraNet™ system, this uniquely identifies a specific AM1.
USB
indicator
lights when a Windows or Apple operating system recognizes the AM1 as a stereo I/O sound card.
POWER
indicator
glows when flowing electrons pass in and out of the AC Power IEC input.
3
USB AUdIO
connector
allows simultaneous 16-bit, 48 kHz playback and recording via a computer. The AM1 registers as a
standard sound card with either Windows or Apple operating systems.
4
CASCAdE IN
port
permits adding up to 56 more microphones to the AM1’s 4 mic inputs using up to 7 Rane AM2 automixers,
sold separately. Use shielded Ethernet CAT 5 cable connected from the AM2’s Cascade Out.
5
RAd PORT
connects to a Rane Mongoose’s Remote Audio Device port to transport the single-channel, Main Mix of the AM1 to
a CobraNet network or another Remote Audio Device.
6
CASCAdE IN
&
RAd PORT
status indicators
prove that proper cable termination and device configuring has occurred when all
four indicators illuminate. If any of these are off or flashing, a configuration or wiring error is the culprit.
7
MAIN OUTPUT
XLR connector
contains the main mix of all mics, Aux 1, Aux 2 and USB Audio input signals. The front panel
Output Level control adjusts the level exiting this jack.
MIC/LINE
Output switch
changes this Main XLR Output to mic-level, for feeding the output mix to a mic input device; or
line-level for feeding line-level input devices.
8
RECORd
Output RCA jacks
contain the same audio mix as the Main Output. The signal is not affected by the Output Level
control.
9
USB CHARgE-ONLy
port
powers and charges many USB devices such as iPods®.
0
AUX INPUT 2
stereo 3.5 mm jack
is internally monoed immediately and useful for connecting MP3 players of all kinds.
q
AUX INPUT 1
dual RCA jacks
are internally monoed immediately and enjoy being fed audio from CD, DVD, 8-Track tape
players, reel-to-reel machines, docking stations or iPhone®, iPod® or iPad® headphone jacks.
w
MIC INPUTS 1
thru
4
accept dynamic or condenser microphones, or the output of a wireless microphone receiver. These inputs
are optimized for speech and have a fixed 100 Hz low-cut and 7 kHz high-cut filter. Both filters are 2nd-order Butterworth filters.
e
3-position
MIC/LINE
switches
support 48 volt phantom power Mic position for condenser mics, zero volt Mic position for
dynamic mics, and the Line position intended for wireless mic receiver outputs.
