TTM 57SL: The Hardware
The best way to understand the TTM 57SL is to learn the basic
mixer without a computer or digital effects first. Only after you
are familiar with the ins and outs of all this mixer can do on its
own, then connect a computer and learn Scratch
LIVE
.
Connecting the Mixer
Leave the power unplugged until everything else is connected!
PGM Inputs 1-4 and Aux Input
The TTM 57SL has two stereo analog inputs for PGM 1 and
two stereo analog inputs for PGM 2. Any of these analog inputs
may be set for Line Input or Phono Input using the LINE /
PHONO switches located on the rear panel.
Up
is LINE and
down
is PHONO. Unused inputs are best set to LINE. Attach
your turntable’s ground wires to the Phono Ground connectors.
Two stereo digital inputs from the USB connection, Digital 1
and Digital 2, are also available for PGM 1 and PGM 2. It is
possible to select any combination of digital and analog signals.
Any of the four analog inputs may be used for Scratch
LIVE
vinyl emulation control. Input 1 or Input 2 may be selected for
Scratch
LIVE
Deck 1 control. Input 3 or Input 4 may be selected
for Scratch
LIVE
Deck 2 control. Control input sources are
selected using the Scratch
LIVE
software. As will be discussed
later in Program Controls, if a source has been selected for vinyl
emulation control by the Scratch
LIVE
software, the number is
back-lit as a reminder that the source is selected for control.
The Aux input has an independent Level control as described
on page Manual-6.
Mic Input
The Mic Input will accept either a balanced ¼" TRS (tip-ring-
sleeve) plug or an unbalanced TS (tip-sleeve) plug. Any type of
microphone may be used, except those that require phantom
power to operate. See the Mic Level section on page Manual-6.
Outputs
All analog outputs come from the same “Main Mix” signal.
Main, Booth and Aux outputs each have their own Level
controls. The Main output is on balanced XLR jacks with pin 2
“hot” per AES standards. The Booth output is on balanced ¼"
TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) jacks, though unbalanced TS (tip-sleeve)
plugs may be used. The Aux output is on regular unbalanced
RCA jacks. Because all signals are identical, users may use any
of these outputs as the “main” output if a different cable type is
required for system connection.
Rane recommends balanced wiring for the strongest signal
and rejection of hum and noise. If your cable to the amp rack
is less than 10 feet (3 meters), you can usually get away with an
unbalanced cable. See the RaneNote “Sound System Intercon-
nection” available at
www.rane.com
for details and cable options.
Power Supply
The TTM 57SL features an internal universal switching power
supply that operates on any AC mains 100 to 240 VAC, 50 or 60
Hz (most places in the world). All that is required when traveling
is the appropriate IEC line cord which is usually readily avail-
able. The universal supply is a major plus for the traveling DJ.
Set the unused inputs to LINE.
