User manual RANE MLM 65

[. . . ] MIC INPUTS The six XLR jacks provided on the MLM 65 are balanced MIC/ LINE inputs. For best noise rejection use twoconductor-plus-shielded wire, even for unbalanced operation. See the Sound System Interconnection RaneNote for all cable adaptations. Rane follows the AES recommended practice of pin 2 positive, pin 3 negative, and pin 1 to shield. [. . . ] 6 AUX 1 Stereo Input provides a 3. 5 mm TRS input as a convenience for connecting an MP3 player or other portable device. Connect a 3. 5 mm stereo audio cable from a docking station, or headphone output of the player, to this 3. 5mm input jack. Connect USB cable from the docking station or MP3 player to the adjacent USB charge port 5. However, use only one of these AUX 1 Inputs at a time, do not use both at once. 7 AUX 1-5 Input Gain Trim on each AUX input allows the system installer to match the relative input signal levels of various professional and consumer input devices (CD/DVD players, tape decks, MP3 players, phonographs, keyboards, etc). When set to PHONO, this switch engages an RIAA equalization filter to accept input from a phonograph. Connect the ground cable from the phonograph to the phono ground post above the Phono switch. 9 AUX 1-5 Stereo RCA Inputs in stereo pairs accommodate professional consumer-level unbalanced inputs. 0 RECORD OUT stereo RCA jack outputs the Main Mix, unaffected by the Main Level fader, at a level dictated by the adjacent record output level trim. q MAIN OUTPUT is balanced stereo XLR jacks that output the Main Mix, with volume set by the Main Level fader. A mono version of the Main Mix is output here if the MONO switch is engaged, with the same mix appearing on both outputs. Pin 1 is chassis ground (neutral), pin 2 is positive (+), and pin 3 is negative (-). w DIGITAL OUTPUTS deliver the Main Mix, unaffected by the Main Level fader. The TOSLINK optical jack and/or the S/PDIF coaxial jack may be input to CD recorders or other digital recording devices. Both digital outputs operate at 24-bit resolution and 48 kHz sample rate. Manual-3 e USB AUDIO IN / OUT jack provides a stereo record and playback audio interface to a personal computer. The classcompliant USB audio interface is supported by native drivers on Windows and Macintosh operating systems. This USB stereo input is available as a source for the AUX Input (see front panel 5). The USB stereo output carries the Main Mix unaffected by the Main Level fader, and may be used to record the Main Mix using computer software. The blue LED next to the USB AUDIO jack illuminates when the MLM 65 is recognized by the computer. r The IEC appliance input jack uses a C5 cord, connected to AC mains using a line cord appropriate for your area. The high efficiency switching power supply used in the MLM 65 operates at voltages from 100 to 240 VAC, 50 or 60 Hz. To prevent accidental shutoff, there is no front panel power switch. OPERATION MONO MICROPHONE/LINE LEVEL INPUTS 1-6 The rear-panel MIC INPUT GAIN adjusts the input gain before the front panel PAN and LEVEL controls. [. . . ] Windows 7 automatically switches a running application to the newly connected MLM 65. We recommend you keep the Stereo Fader down when connecting to avoid surprises. Remember that Windows likes to play different bleeps and bloops when updates install, devices are plugged in and unplugged, or other operating system events happen. If you do not want these sounds played into your mix, turn off Windows system sounds. [. . . ]
