Quick Start

Rane would like to thank you for selecting the

TTM 52i Performance Mixer. The TTM 52i is one
of the top performance mixers available. It fea-
tures the same high quality components, reliabil-
ity and performance as the Rane TTM 54i 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 52i will be very familiar,
however, the TTM 52i 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 maximumNever 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 52i is a high power output stage (unlike most you have used before). There

are some notable differences…

•   The headphone output of the TTM 52i 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 52i 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.

•   WEAR PARTS: This product contains the following wear parts subject to the ninety (90) day warranty period described

on page Warranty-1: FT 45 Active Crossfader & Channel Fader Assembly(3); ST 2 Phono/Line Switch Assembly (2).
