OPERATORS MANUAL

Quick Start

For experienced turntablists, ninety percent of
the operation of the TTM 54i Performance Mixer
is obvious — however, the TTM 54i also has many
unique features. These new features will be mastered more
quickly if you read the entire manual. Right! We know some
of you can't resist jumping right in, so please read at least this
portion of the manual. It will help you get a good start.
• GAIN TRIM: These controls are intended to set the signal level
before the Crossfader. Always set the GAIN TRIM controls to
indicate an average signal level of +4 on the meter with the Program
Faders set to maximum. Never use the GAIN TRIM controls to set the
output level. Always use the MASTER LEVEL control to set the output
level. This is a very simple thing, yet makes a huge difference in the performance
of your mixer.
• EFFECTS: The assignable effects loop allows insertion of a stereo effects processor into:
• Pre-Program Fader PGM 1....... Engage PGM 1 EFFECTS only.
• Pre-Program Fader PGM 2....... Engage PGM 2 EFFECTS only.
• Post-Crossfader MASTER........ Engage both PGM 1 and PGM 2 EFFECTS switches.
• Read sections  and  for more information.
• PHONES: The headphone output of the TTM 54i is a high power output stage (unlike most you have used before). There are
some notable differences...
• The headphone output of the TTM 54i delivers very high volume into your headphones.
• To avoid pain, never put headphones on your head and then plug them in.
• Always start with the PHONES LEVEL turned down and then turn it up to the desired level.
• Because of the high current and low output impedance, never short one side to ground or short left and right together as is
possible with mono cup headphones. Note: Low power headphone stages typically use large resistors on their outputs, which
allow shorting, but prevent high power. The TTM 54i gives you high power but does not allow shorting.
• MIC LEVEL: For best performance, keep this control at 0 when not in use.
• For instructions on rotating Phono/Line switches to the desired location, see page Manual-6.
• Do not spray cleaner or lubricant into the front of the Program Faders or Crossfader. The fluid will just run out the bottom of
the unit. Never use unapproved cleaner or lubricants such as skateboard wheel lube, as corrosive damage may result, voiding the
warranty. See page Manual-6 for cleaning and replacement instructions and cleaner recommendations.
• Never connect anything except an RS 1 Rane AC power supply to the thing that looks like a telephone jack on the rear. This
is an 18 VAC center-tapped power unit. Consult the Rane factory for replacement or substitution.
• WEAR PARTS: This product contains the following wear parts subject to the ninety (90) day warranty period described on page
Warranty-1: FT 45 Crossfader & Channel Fader Assembly(3); ST 2 Phono/Line Switch Assembly (2).

    LEFT/RIGHT Pan effect. Push the control to the left and sound moves to the EFFECTS left channel. Push the control to the right and sound moves to the right channel. TTM 54i PERFORMAN  EFFECTS engage switches are provided for PGM 1 and PGM 2. These two switches CONTOUR determine the location of a single, assignable, stereo EFFECTS LOOP.
  • Page 3 Note: Low power headphone stages typically use large resistors on their outputs, which allow shorting, but prevent high power. The TTM 54i gives you high power but does not allow shorting.

    UNBAL CLASS 2 EQUIPMENT  POWER connector. This is not a telephone jack! Connect only the Rane RS 1 power supply included with your TTM 54i.  MASTER OUT includes two sets of stereo outputs: • The ¼" TRS jacks provide high current BALanced output, which should be used whenever driving equipment with a balanced input or running distances greater than about 10 feet (3 meters).
  • Page 5 The MIC INPUT is a balanced input specifically designed for a dynamic microphone. LEVEL MIC EFFECTS jacks are unbalanced mono ¼" Tip/Sleeve. This is an independent Effects Loop for the mic. There is no engage switch, so the mic signal is always processed when you have an effects box connected.
