Manual-4

Because the amplifier is capable of high current drive, it is important
that the outputs are not shorted together or to ground. Do NOT use
single cup phones that short tip and ring.

 

MASTER LEVEL

 adjusts the 

MASTER OUTPUT

 level for both the

balanced and unbalanced outputs.

 

POWER

 connector. This is not a telephone jack! Connect only the

Rane RS 1

 power supply included with your 

TTM 52

. The ground

screw terminal may be used to solve potential grounding problems with
other equipment. See Chassis Grounding on page Manual-6.

 

MASTER OUT 

includes two sets of stereo outputs:

•   The ¼" 

TRS

 jacks provide high current 

BAL

anced output, which

should be used whenever driving equipment with a balanced input or
running distances greater than about 10 feet. Due to the high drive
capability and low impedance, never use a mono ¼" Tip/Sleeve (no
ring) cable in this jack; this grounds one side of the 

BAL

anced output.

•   Use the 

UNBAL

anced output for shorter runs, such as connecting to a recorder, looping to another mixer, or to other local

signal processing or amplifiers. See Sound System Interconnection on page Manual-7.

 

PGM 1

 and 

PGM 2

 inputs include both 

PHONO

 and 

LINE

 input.

•   PHONO 1

 and 

PHONO 2

 inputs are RIAA compensated inputs with 18 dB per octave, 20 Hz rumble filters.

•   LINE 1

 and 

LINE 2

 inputs are unbalanced line level inputs with a nominal sensitivity of -10 dBV.

•   PHONO/LINE

 selection is made as described in section 

.

•   PGM 1

 inputs are sent to the left side of the Crossfader. (HAMSTER switch out)

•   PGM 2

 inputs are sent to the right side of the Crossfader. (HAMSTER switch out)

 

PHONO GND

 terminals provide an independent ground connect point for two turntables. It is very important that each

turntable have a very good ground connection to one of these terminals. The thumb screws are not captivated, so use care
not to spin them off and lose them.

 The 

MIC INPUT

 is a balanced ¼" TRS input specifically designed for a dynamic microphone.

 

MIC EFFECTS

 jacks are unbalanced mono ¼" Tip/Sleeve. This is an independent Effects Loop for the mic. There is no

engage switch, so the mic signal is always processed when you have an effects box connected.

•   The 

SEND

 jack provides the output to your effects processor.

•   The 

RETURN

 jack provides an input for the signal returning from your effects processor.

 MIC LEVEL

 sets the gain of the Mic Input. The range of operation is off to +60 dB. There is no engage switch, so set the
