IMPORTANT NOTE
CHASSIS GROUNDING
If your system exhibits excessive hum or buzzing, there is an incompatibility in the grounding configuration between
units somewhere. Your mission, should you accept it, is to discover how your particular system wants to be grounded. Here
are some things to try:
1. Try combinations of lifting grounds on units that are supplied with ground lift switches or links.
2. 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 like the amplifier.
3. Units with outboard power supplies do
not
ground the chassis through the line cord. Make sure that these units are
grounded either to another chassis which is earth grounded, or directly to a known ground by means of a wire connected to a
screw on the chassis with a star washer to guarantee proper contact.
Please refer to Rane Note 110,
“Sound System Interconnection”
included with this manual for further information on
system grounding.

POWER input connector:
This is not a telephone jack!
Connect an 18 volt AC center-tapped transformer only. Use only a
Rane model RS 1, shipped with the unit, or other compatible power supply approved by Rane.
햳
Chassis ground point:
This screw is provided for connection to chassis ground if required. See
Chassis Grounding
below.

HOUSE OUTPUT:
The front panel HOUSE LEVEL control affects the volume at this Output. These balanced ¼" TRS
(tip-ring-sleeve) Outputs connect to a balanced equalizer or amplifier. Though not recommended, unbalanced ¼" TS (tip-
sleeve) cables may be used for short runs (under 3 meters [10 feet]) to an amplifier with unbalanced inputs. See RaneNote
110
“Sound System Interconnection”
for wiring recommendations.
햵
AUX OUTPUT:
This delivers the same signal as the HOUSE OUTPUT, but has its own LEVEL control on the rear panel.
This Output is not affected by the front panel HOUSE LEVEL control.
These balanced ¼" TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) Outputs
connect to a balanced equalizer or amplifier (for a possible second listening zone) and follow the same interconnection
rules as above.
