User manual RANE FMM 42

[. . . ] NEVER CONNECT ANYTHING EXCEPT AN APPROVED RANE POWER SUPPLY TO THE RED THING THAT LOOKS LIKE A TELEPHONE JACK ON THE REAR OF THE FMM 42. This is an AC input and requires special attention if you do not have an operational power supply EXACTLY like the one that was originally packed with your unit. See the full explanation of the power supply requirements elsewhere in this manual. FMM 42 MASTER MODULE SYSTEM CONNECTION When connecting the FMM 42 to other components in your system for the first time, LEAVE THE POWER SUPPLY FOR LAST. This gives you a chance to make mistakes and correct them without damage to your fragile speakers, ears and nerves. [. . . ] This concentric rotary control adjusts the input levels of the LINE 2 INPUT. These rotary level controls set the amount of signal going out on the AUX BUS OUTS/LOOPS jacks (tips). In the Dual (stereo) mode, Aux A is routed to Master A only, Aux B mixes with Master B only. In the Mix (mono) position, both Aux inputs sum with both Master A and B outputs. These concentric level controls set the output levels of Master A and B channels. If rotated individually they serve the function of both output faders and pan controls. To be used for either mic or line inputs, pin 2 is hot "+", pin 3 is return "­", and pin 1 is signal ground. In its out position, this switch sets the input stage gain for microphone usage. When pushed in, the gains are restructured for use with line level inputs. When using the FMM 42 with other Flex mixer modules, the Bus Output of the last module in the system prior to the FMM 42 would be connected to this Input via the 7-pin DIN cable (supplied). To be used in situations where more than one master module is required. When two or more FMM 42s are required, the second modules's Bus Input should be connected to this Output. NOTE: Special cabling may be constructed which would allow the bus inputs and outputs to be used for direct inputs and outputs. These ¼" TRS (tip=send, ring=return) connectors may be used for inserting reverb units or other signal processing devices (e. g. , FPE 13s and FME 15s) in series with the Aux A and B Bus Return Loops. With Flex units, use a single ¼" TRS cable connecting these inserts to the Patch I/O jacks. Note: these Loops may be used as additional line inputs when the Flex Bus Inputs are not used. This requires special ¼" TRS cables with Tip left open, Ring as signal hot and Sleeve as ground. Additionally, they may serve as AUX outs by using a mono (tip, sleeve) connector. These 3-pin balanced outputs use pin 2 as hot, pin 3 as return and pin 1 as signal ground. For unbalanced operation, pin 2 should be used as hot and pin 1 as ground. USE ONLY A MODEL RS 1, RAP 10, FRS 8, OR OTHER REMOTE AC POWER SUPPLY APPROVED BY RANE. The FMM 42 is supplied with a remote power supply suitable for connection to this input jack. [. . . ] When the ducker activates, all audio (except Input 1) at the master outputs will be attenuated by the amount set by the depth control. The FMM 42 was primarily designed to serve as a master output module for use with FMI 14 input modules and FPM 44, FPM 42, CM 86 and FLM 82 mixers. These modules have 7-pin DIN bus outputs which may be connected to the BUS Input of the FMM 42. When used this way, everything stated above regarding the use of this module in a stand-alone fashion remains true. [. . . ]
