TTM 54i
PERFORMANCE MIXER
OPERATORS MANUAL
Quick Start
For experienced turntablists,
ninety percen
t
of
the operation of the
TTM 54i Performance Mixer
is obvious — however, the
TTM 54i
also has many
unique features. These new features will be mastered more
quickly if you read the entire manual.
Right!
We know some
of you can’t resist jumping right in, so please read at least this
portion of the manual. It will help you get a good start.

GAIN TRIM:
These controls are intended to set the signal level
before
the Crossfader.
Always
set the
GAIN TRIM
controls to
indicate an
average
signal level of
+4
on the meter with the
Program
Faders
set to
maximum
.
Never
use the
GAIN TRIM
controls to set the
output level.
Always
use the
MASTER LEVEL
control to set the output
level.
This is a very simple thing, yet makes a huge difference in the performance
of your mixer.

•
PHONES:
The headphone output of the TTM 54i is a
high power
output stage (unlike most you have used before). There are
some notable differences…
• The headphone output of the TTM 54i delivers
very high
volume into your headphones.
• To avoid pain,
never
put headphones on your head and
then
plug them in.
• Always
start with the PHONES LEVEL turned down and then turn it up to the desired level.
• Because of the high current and low output impedance,
never
short one side to ground
or
short left and right together as is
possible with mono cup headphones.
Note: Low power headphone stages typically use large resistors on their outputs, which
allow shorting, but prevent high power. The TTM 54i gives you high power but does not allow shorting
.
•
MIC LEVEL:
For best performance, keep this control at
0
when not in use.
• For instructions on
rotating Phono/Line
switches to the desired location, see page Manual-6.
•
Do not spray cleaner
or lubricant into the front of the
Program Faders
or
Crossfader
. The fluid will just run out the bottom of
the unit.
Never use unapproved cleaner
or lubricants such as skateboard wheel lube, as corrosive damage may result, voiding the
warranty. See page Manual-6 for cleaning and replacement instructions and cleaner recommendations.
•
Never connect anything except an RS 1 Rane AC power supply to the thing that looks like a telephone jack on the rear.
This
is an 18 VAC center-tapped power unit. Consult the Rane factory for replacement or substitution.
