Manual-1
Quick Start
Rane would like to thank you for se-
lecting the TTM 52 Performance Mixer.
The TTM 52 is one of the top performance
mixers available. It features the same high
quality components, reliability and perfor-
mance as the Rane TTM 54 mixer with a
reduced feature set (see the comparison chart on
the last page of the Data Sheet, contained in this
manual.) For experienced turntablists, the operation of
the TTM 52 will be very familiar, however, the TTM 52 has
some 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 and learn how to properly care for your faders.
• 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 52 is a
high power
output stage (unlike most you have used before). There
are some notable differences…
• The headphone output of the TTM 52 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 52 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 or other approved 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.
