General Description
e Rane MLM 65 Mic/Line Mixer is designed for easy manual
mixing of up to 6 mic/line inputs and playback of one of several
stereo audio sources, including modern USB audio and old
school vinyl. Simultaneous digital audio recording of the manual
mix to S/PDIF, TOSLINK and/or USB audio provides a formidable mixing ally in today's audio world. e MLM 65 features
and topology are simple for non-technical operators, and it's
dedicated USB Charge port supports the kids' MP3 players.
e MLM 65 provides 6 manually mixed mic/line XLR
inputs each with a front panel Pan and Level control, plus a window slot atop each input for installer-created labels. ese inputs
also have independent rear panel screw-driver Gain trims, Overload indicators, 12 volt Phantom Power and Mic/Line switches.
One of six stereo Aux inputs is selectable on the front panel
with a Level fader for the selected source being mixed. A single
large window slot for installer-created Aux source labels makes
operation simple for newbies. e stereo Aux inputs include ve
consumer RCA inputs each with screw-driver input gain trim.
e Aux 1 input provides an additional 3.5 mm stereo TRS jack
and an adjacent dedicated USB Charge port for an iPod or other
USB-powered audio device.
For audio sources requiring diamond needles drug through
the spiral-grooved black lacquer discs of yore, the Aux 4 input's

phono/line switch satises those addicted to the warm even-order
harmonic distortion of phono cartridges. A large phono ground
post is nearby for added sheen.
e sixth Aux input enters via the USB Audio port. e
MLM 65 registers as a standard USB audio device with either
Windows® or Apple® operating systems, and both incoming and
outgoing audio is stereo 16-bit, 48 kHz PCM. is accommodates pristine, far-beyond-CD-quality playback of audio from
dozens of instantly compatible laptop software programs.
e front panel Headphone outputs on 1/4" and 3.5 mm
TRS jacks have a dedicated meter with peak hold, rotary Level
control and are fed audio from the selected/illuminated Cue button. Stereo headphone cueing of any mic, the selected Aux input
or the Main mix is supported.
e Main Level fader and meter with peak hold on the front
aects only the Main stereo XLR Outputs which sport a Mono
switch. e stereo Record RCA outputs with screw-driver adjustable attenuator provide a local analog output for recording to
MP3 players or nearby camcorders.
e three digital audio outputs of the mix are 24-bit / 48
kHz S/PDIF and TOSLINK, and 16-bit / 48 kHz USB audio.
e same laptop can simultaneously playback and record via
USB.
