User manual RANE FLM 82

[. . . ] The FLEX BUS INPUT on the rear will sum all previous modules on the Bus with the Inputs of the FLM 82. The FLEX BUS OUT connector makes available all signals on the Bus Input as well as locally generated program material in the FLM 82. The STEREO/MONO switch on the rear adds Channel A and Channel B signals together for a mono feed to the MASTER OUTPUTS A and B on the rear of the unit. Engaging this switch also causes the AUX A and B signals to be combined to one. [. . . ] These set the input mix for both the FLEX BUS OUTs and the MASTER A and B Outputs on the rear of the unit. These concentric level pots adjust the Aux mix on both the FLEX BUS OUT as well as the levels to the AUX LOOP A and B jacks on the rear panel. As mentioned elsewhere in this manual, the AUX SENDS may be either PRE or POST fade (before or after the input LEVEL controls). This determination is made internally based on the switch positions located on the printed circuit board beneath the top cover. Another set of concentric controls, the inner knob adjusts the MASTER OUTPUT A level on the rear panel, the outer sets the MASTER OUTPUT B level. The light, when present, is created by the forward bias condition of the gallium arsenide junction encapsulated within the yellow plastic, which serves two purposes: one, to act as a lens for the light and the other to protect the delicate solid state chip within. Or, if you prefer, if this light is lit the powers on. REAR PANEL DESCRIPTION 1. The tip of each connects to the respective Channel A input, the ring is used for Channel B. This DIN connector supplies all local master A and B program signal as well as the Aux A and B signals. It also sends any information coming into the FLEX BUS IN connector on to other modules further down the line. This connector is used to tie other Flex Series mixing modules to the FLM 82. Both master & aux program material from the FLM 82 is added to this BUS INPUT. Engaging this switch causes the A and B MASTER buses (local only, not the Flex Bus) and the Aux A and B buses to be added together to create one signal from two. It may be used in instances where only mono inputs are connected to the FLM 82 and two outputs (A and B) are required on both MASTER and AUX Outputs. It may be also used to convert a two channel program input to a mono output. Primarily designed to allow signal processing to be inserted in the Aux buses, these jacks may also be used for direct Aux Outputs should the need arise. See the System Connection section on the front page of this manual for more information. The tip is the pos connection, the ring is neg and sleeve is signal ground. USE ONLY A MODEL RS 1, FRS 8, OR OTHER REMOTE AC POWER SUPPLY APPROVED BY RANE. The FLM 82 is supplied with a remote power supply suitable for connection to this input jack. This switch provides the ability to separate chassis ground and signal ground. In some circumstances it may be necessary to move it to the opposite position to eliminate stubborn hum and buzz problems. [. . . ] Connect the tip of the TRS plug to the tip of the plug to be used as the input to the processor. Connect the ring of the TRS plug to the tip of the processors output plug. This slightly unusual cable is a standard product for most cable companies. The SYSTEM CONNECTION section on the front page of this document explains how to use the AUX LOOPs as Aux Outputs. The Aux signals may be picked up before or after the Input level controls. [. . . ]
