Q. WILL I DAMAGE THE FADERS IF I SPRAY
THEM WITH BAD STUFF OR SPILL BAD
thIngS In them?
A.
No. The faders in the TTM 57SL are designed
with materials highly resistant to corrosion and
most chemicals. There are no electrical contacts
to clean or damage. While bad things may
change the feel of the faders, bad things will
not affect the sound. To clean faders that have
had a bad thing put in them, follow the simple
instructions to the right.
Q. CAN I INSTALL MAGNETIC FADERS IN
ANY OTHER MIXER?
A.
Sorry. The connectors may be similar, but the
circuits are very different. Connecting the faders
to anything other than the intended cable in the
TTM 57SL could permanently damage them.
Q: CAN I INSTALL OTHER FADERS IN MY
TTM 57SL?
A.
No. The cable connections are specially
designed for Rane magnetic faders.
Q. CAN I INSTALL A DIFFERENT MAGNETIC
FADER IN MY MIXER OR SWAP THE
poSItIon of my faderS?
A.
No. In order to achieve the highest possible
accuracy, each magnetic fader is factory
calibrated for the location in which it was
shipped. For information about replacement or
calibration in the USA, contact Rane Customer
Service. If you remove the faders for cleaning,
make sure you mark them. This helps you to put
them back in the same location
There are no electrical contacts to clean!
The faders in the TTM 57SL are designed with
materials highly resistant to corrosion and most
chemicals. While the faders will handle millions
of operations, they may become dirty over
time. Bad things may be spilled or sprayed into
the faders. In either case, the faders are not
damaged and the sound quality is unaffected.
Cleaning is only required to maintain the feel of
the faders.
The faders are self-lubricating and with normal
use, should not require additional lubrication. If
you wish, you can use a light silicone lubricant
rated for use with electrical parts. This will help
maintain the feel. We recommend Caig DeoxIT
FaderLube F100 spray lubricant.
Order DeoxIT® F100 from:

Never use a heavy lubricant or grease.
Doing so will not damage the faders, but can
undo the feel. If grease was used, it may be
removed by following the cleaning instructions.
Light lubrication is possible with the Lexan plate
on. A couple of drops or a short spray will do it.
Make sure the products you use are suitable for
use with electrical parts that contain plastic.

MIXING WITH ONE
TURNTABLE OR
CD PLAYER
This single turntable technique allows you to mix
as if you had two turntables, using just one. If
one of your turntables is not performing properly,
or if you only have one available, you will be able
to continue to mix the way you are used to.
The following is a step-by-step description
of how to do perform a mix using only your
right turntable or CDJ with the instant doubles
feature.
