Maintaining Magnetic Faders
There are no electrical contacts to clean!
The faders in the TTM 56 are designed with materials highly
resistant to corrosion and most chemicals. While the faders will
handle millions of operations, they may become dirty over time.
Bad things may be spilled or sprayed into the faders. In either case,
the faders are not damaged and the sound quality is unaffected.
Cleaning is only required to maintain the feel of the faders .
The faders are self-lubricating and with normal use, should
not require additional lubrication. If you wish, you can use a light
silicone lubricant rated for use with electrical parts. This will help
maintain the feel. We recommend Caig DeoxIT FaderLube F100
spray lubricant.
Order DeoxIT® F100 from CAIG Laboratories, Inc.

Never use a heavy lubricant or grease . Doing so will not
damage the faders, but can undo the feel. If grease was used, it may
be removed by following the cleaning instructions. Light lubrica-
tion is possible with the Lexan plate on. A couple of drops or a
short spray are all that is required. Make sure the products you use
are suitable for use with electrical parts that contain plastic.

Magnetic Fader Q and A
Q: Will I damage the faders if I spray them with bad stuff or spill
bad things in them?
A: No . The faders in the TTM 56 are designed with materials high-
ly resistant to corrosion and most chemicals. There are no electri-
cal contacts to clean or damage . While bad things may change the
feel of the faders, bad things will not affect the sound. To clean
faders that have had a bad thing put in them, follow the simple
instructions on page Manual-8.
Q: Can I install magnetic faders in any other mixer?
A: Sorry . The connectors may be similar, but the circuits are very
different. Connecting the faders to anything other than the in-
tended cable in the TTM 56 could permanently damage them.
Q: Can I install other faders in my TTM 56?
A: No . The cable connections are specially designed for Rane mag-
netic faders.
Q: Can I install a different magnetic fader in my mixer or swap
the position of my faders?
A: No . In order to achieve the highest possible accuracy, each
magnetic fader is factory calibrated for the location in which it
was shipped. For information about replacement or calibration,
contact Rane Customer Service. If you remove the faders for
cleaning, make sure you mark them. This helps you to put them
back in the same location.
