PGM 1 and PGM 2 Meters provide true L+R Dual Mono
indication of Post-Program Fader signal levels. Ten segment
resolution is provided with a one second peak hold indication.
With the Program Fader set to maximum, the input GAIN
TRIM should be set to indicate an average level of about +4.
Crossfader control is implemented using Ranes’ proprietary
ActiveFader™ design. As with the Program Faders, all audio
is isolated from the control element, greatly extending the life
and performance of the control. See page Manual-6 for cleaning
and replacement instructions
CROSSFADER CONTOUR control allows adjusting the
“shape” of the Crossfader response from a gentle curve for
smooth, long running fades, to the steep pitch required for top
performance cut and scratch effects shown in Figure 3.
CROSSFADER HAMSTER control allows reversing the
operation of the Crossfader. With the combination of
ActiveFader™, CONTOUR control, and HAMSTER control,
the TTM 52i provides a level of flexibility and performance
previously unavailable.
PHONES LEVEL control adjusts the loudness of the Headphone output signal. Always start with the LEVEL at minimum
(CCW) and increase to a comfortable level with signal present and your headphones on. This prevents tossing them across
the room after you put them on and plug in with the level set too high. The TTM 52i Headphone Amplifier delivers very
high sound pressure levels (SPL) into most headphone loads. 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 head-
phone 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.
MASTER / CUE switch is used to select the HEADPHONES monitor source:
• Use MASTER to rehearse your performance. This signal is the same as that at the MASTER OUT, but is not
affected by the MASTER LEVEL control.
• Use CUE to monitor the Program Input signal, so you can “Cue” a signal before fading in. This signal is not
affected by the Program Faders or Crossfader.
PHONES PAN control is only active when CUE is selected. This control allows you to PAN between Program 1 or
Program 2.
