Faders
The
program faders and crossfader
are
magnetic, non-contact
faders. This
means
No travel noise or bleed !
The
electrical performance of the faders
is unaffected by use. The program
faders and crossfader each have their
own Contour and Reverse (hamster)
controls. Magnetic faders are very dif-
ferent from what you are used to. Read
Maintaining Magnetic Faders
on
pages Manual 8-9.
CHANNEL SWAP
switch allows
the left-hand or right-hand Fader to
alternately control PGM 1 or PGM 2.
(Don't confuse with the REVERSE
switches, see below.)
CONTOUR
controls allow smooth,
continuous adjustment of contour. The
range of control is from SLOW blend
to FAST cut, adjustable independently
for each fader and the crossfader. See
the illustrations on the next page.
REVERSE
switches change the direc-
tion of the faders. When a Reverse
switch is engaged on a PGM fader,
up is down and down is up (hamster).
When the Reverse switch is engaged
on the Crossfader, PGM 1 goes to the
B side and PGM 2 goes to the A side.
Meters
Meters
provide switchable true stereo
Master Mix or dual-mono PGM1 /
PGM2 indication of Pre-Program fad-
er signal levels. Ten-segment resolution
is provided with a one second, peak
hold. Use the meter to set the GAIN
controls. With the program fader set to
maximum, the input GAIN should be
set to indicate an average level of about
+4 dB.
• The headphone output of the TTM
56S delivers very high volume.
• To avoid pain, never put headphones
on your head before
plugging them in.
• Always start with the
PHONES Level
turned down, and then turn it up.
• 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.
• Low power headphone stages typically
use large resistors on their outputs,
which allow shorting, but prevent high
power. The TTM 56S gives you high
power, but does not allow shorting.

Headphone Cueing
PHONES
Level control sets the out-
put level of the headphone amplifier.
MASTER / CUE
switch is used to
select the headphone monitor source:
Use
MASTER
(
out
) to rehearse your
performance. This signal is the same as
the Master Out, but is not affected by
the Master Level control.
Use
CUE
(
in
) to monitor the Program
Input signal before fading in. This
signal is not affected by the Program
Faders or Crossfader.
Because the Effects
Loop is after the Fader, you will not hear
effects in the Cue.
CUE
slider Pans between PGM 1 and
PGM 2 in the headphones when the
CUE
switch is depressed. When the
switch is released, this control has no
effect.
The headphone amp in the TTM 56S
has a high power output (unlike most
you have used before). There are no-
table differences…
