General Description
The Rane SM82S is a product offering incredible power and ver-
satility. It is the equivalent of a
sixteen
channel mixer in one rack
space. Measuring only 5.25 inches deep, it can do the job of mix-
ers costing several times as much while only occupying a fraction
of the rack space. It is ideally suited for keyboards, synthesizer
expander modules and drum machines, as well as such things as
effects mixing in guitar racks. It also functions as an excellent
submixer for stereo line inputs and effects to a larger console.
Because of shorter internal signal paths, it is much cleaner than
many mixers ten times the cost and size.
Each of the eight Stereo (two channel) input channels feature
a stereo rotary input Level control, a stereo aux Send level control
slider and a left to right Balance control slider. When a single
mono input is used, the Balance control acts as a pan pot. The
aux return section provides a rotary Return Level control and a
slide control for left to right Balance. The output stage includes
a rotary Output Level control and a slide control for left to right
Balance.
The human engineering applied to the SM82S makes it
extremely easy to operate. The segregation of function between
rotary and slide controls (rotary for all input and output Levels
and slide for Balance and Send) makes it simple to use, even in
the dark.
The SM82S is fully expandable using the ¼" TRS Main Ex-
pand Input and Output jacks. Expansion is as simple as connect-
ing a stereo ¼" jumper cable from the first unit’s Expand Output
jack to the second unit’s Expand Input jack. Now, two SM82S
units create a 16 channel stereo (32 input) line level Mixer in just
two rack spaces. Or, 24 channel stereo (48 input) Mixer in just
three rack spaces. You get the idea!
