CONTOUR
switches provide three tapers for
PGM 1
and
PGM 2 Program Faders
. The numbers
6
,
20
and
30
indicate the mid-point attenuation. Settings can provide
smooth fade or cut and scratch effects. Note from the graph
shown in Figure 2, that the
6
dB setting provides a quick on
contour for cut and scratch (0% travel is with Program Fader
up). When used with the
HAMSTER
reversal switch, the
Program Fader
operates very similar to the
Crossfader
,
allowing the same hand motion for cut and scratch opera-
tion. The
20
dB setting provides a normal audio taper while
the
30
dB setting provides a more rapid fade out.
햷
HAMSTER
switches are provided for
PGM 1
and
PGM 2
Program Faders
. These switches reverse the operation of
the adjacent
Program Fader
. When engaged, signal is off
with the
Program Fader
up, and maximum with the
Pro-
gram Fader
down.
햸
PHONO / LINE
source select switches are provided for
PGM 1
and
PGM 2
. These are “clickless” switches suitable for
“transform scratch” applications. The switches are field replaceable and may be rotated in 45° increments. See Figure 4 on
page Manual-6 for rotation and replacement instructions.
햹
Program Fader
controls for
PGM 1
and
PGM 2
are ultra low noise, long-life, monorail devices. An ActiveFader™ design
completely isolates the control element from the audio, providing the highest reliability and performance. See page
Manual-6 for cleaning and replacement instructions.
햺
PGM 1
and
PGM 2 Meters
provide true L+R Dual Mono indication of
Post-Program Fader
signal levels. Ten segment
resolution is provided with a one second peak hold indication. With the Program Fader set to maximum, the input
GAIN
TRIM
should be set to indicate an average level of about
+4
.
햻
Crossfader
control is implemented using Ranes’ proprietary ActiveFader™ design. As with the
Program Faders
, all
audio is isolated from the control element, greatly extending the life and performance of the control. See page Manual-6 for
cleaning and replacement instructions
햽
CROSSFADER CONTOUR
control allows adjusting the “shape” of the
Crossfader
response from a gentle curve for
smooth, long running fades, to the steep pitch required for top performance cut and scratch effects shown in Figure 3.
햾
CROSSFADER HAMSTER
control allows reversing the
operation of the
Crossfader
. With the combination of
ActiveFader™,
CONTOUR
control, and
HAMSTER
control,
the
TTM 54
provides a level of flexibility and performance
previously unavailable.
