TOP / REAR PANEL DESCRIPTION
1.
Remote POWER Supply Input:
The unit is supplied from the factory with a Rane Model RS 1 remote power supply
suitable for connection to this input jack. The power requirement of the unit specifies an 18 volt AC center-tapped trans-
former only
. This is not a telephone jack. Never use a power supply with your unit other than the one supplied or a
replacement approved by Rane Corporation.
Using any other type of supply may damage the unit and void the warranty.
2.
Chassis ground point:
This screw is provided for grounding purposes. This unit comes with an outboard power supply
which
does not ground the chassis through the line cord
. The MM 8x can be grounded either to another chassis which is
earth grounded, or directly to the grounding screw on an AC outlet cover with a wire connected to this chassis screw.
3.
PHONO GROUND screw:
These screws provide a place to connect the ground wire from a turntable.
4.
PHONO/LINE switch:
These switches change the input stage from a PHONO (pushbutton
in
) to a LINE (pushbutton
out
).
5.
PHONO/LINE INPUTS:
These stereo pairs of RCA connectors are an input for a PHONO (RIAA) stage for magnetic
cartridges or a LINE stage suitable for any device, such as a CD player.
6.
LINE INPUTS:
These stereo pairs of RCA connectors are an input for any LINE level device.
7.
PROGRAM LOOP jacks:
These ¼" TRS jacks allow stereo external processing of the PROGRAM signal. The tips connect
the sends to the processor inputs, and the rings connect the returns from the processor. These are switching jacks—always
complete the loop when connecting a send and return, or no sound will be heard.
8.
MAIN OUTPUTS:
These ¼" TRS jacks provide a balanced line level output.
9.
TAPE OUTPUTS:
This stereo pair of RCA connectors is a line level output of source program (without mic or aux inputs).
The signal is unaffected by the MASTER LEVEL fader. It is intended for use with a tape recorder, but is not restricted to
that purpose.
10.
PRE/POST switch:
With the switch pressed in the PRE
(in)
position, the TAPE OUTPUTS have the signal before
processing by an external device connected to the PROGRAM LOOP. Releasing the switch to POST
(out)
provides the
TAPE OUTPUTS with the signal that has been processed by an external device connected to the PROGRAM LOOP. If no
plugs are inserted in the PROGRAM LOOP, this switch has no effect.
11.
MAIN
MIC LOOP jack:
This ¼" TRS jack is for inserting external mono signal processing in the MAIN MICROPHONE
circuit path only. The tip connects the send to the processor inputs, and the ring connects the return from the processor. This
is a switching jack—always complete the signal loop when connecting a send and return, or no sound will be heard.
12.
AUX MIC jack:
This ¼" balanced TRS input accepts wireless mics or another line-level mono source.
13. Rear panel
MAIN MIC input:
This XLR input connects a balanced microphone. The same Main Mic input is on the front
of the unit.
Do not connect microphones to both front and rear Main Mic inputs.
