Analog Outputs

• Main Out is on a pair of balanced XLR jacks with pin 2 “hot” per AES standards.

• Booth Out is on a pair of balanced ¼˝ TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) jacks.

• Session Out is available on a pair of unbalanced RCA jacks.

• Headphones output mix is available on both ¼˝ and 3.5 mm jacks.

The Main, Booth and Session outputs arrive from the same “Main Mix” signal. Main, Booth and Session
outputs each have their own LEVEL control. Because all signals are identical, you may use any of these
outputs as the “Main” output if a different cable type is required to your speaker ampliers.
Rane recommends balanced wiring (3-conductor) for the strongest signal and rejection of hum and
noise. If your cable to the destination is less than 10 feet (3 meters), you can often get away with an
unbalanced cable. See the RaneNote “Sound System Interconnection” at rane.com for cable wiring
recommendations.

Quick Start: Operation

USB Control Source

The default Inputs for decks performing Digital Vinyl Simulation (DVS) are Inputs 1 and 3, but you can
change this. Analog Input 1 or 2 may be selected in Serato DJ software as the DVS signal for the Left
Virtual Deck. Analog Input 3 or 4 may be selected in software as the DVS signal for the Right Virtual Deck.
To select the control sources in Serato DJ, click the SETUP button at the top of the screen. In the Audio
tab, verify that Control Source > PGM 1 is set to “1”. This will be your Left Virtual Deck. verify that Control
Source > PGM 2 is set to “3”. This will be your Right Virtual Deck.
To select the control sources in Scratch Live, click the SETUP button at the top of the Scratch Live
screen. In the Hardware > General tab, verify that Control Source > PGM 1 is set to “1”. This will be your
Left Virtual Deck. verify that Control Source > PGM 2 is set to “3”. This will be your Right Virtual Deck.

Calibrating Serato DJ for Control Vinyl or CD

Since Serato DJ is controlled by an analog signal, there is no guarantee of what state that signal will be in
by the time the software gets to interpret it. Therefore, Serato DJ needs to be able to handle a wide range
of signals, and be congurable to use them optimally. Calibrating is just conguring the software to your
situation. Calibration is equally important for both vinyl and CD users of Serato DJ.
There are two parts to the Serato DJ Control Vinyl: The directional tone, and the NoiseMap™. Listening
to the control vinyl, the directional tone is the 1 kHz tone. The noise map sounds like random noise over
the top of the tone. The directional tone provides the current speed and direction of the record, while the
noise map tells the software precisely where on the record the needle is currently.
The Noise Sensitivity slider lets you adjust the noise threshold. A threshold is a lower limit, below which
a process will not occur. In the case of Serato DJ, the noise threshold is the limit below which the input
signal will not be interpreted as control signal; in other words if it’s below the threshold, it is considered
noise and ignored.
This setting is necessary because a stylus is very sensitive, and will inevitably pick up noise from the
environment as well as the signal on the record, especially in the noisy environment of a live show.

OWNER’S MANUAL

How To Calibrate Serato DJ

With music playing in the background through your system or booth output, put your needle on the record
with the turntable stopped. If you are using CD players, the same rules apply. Have the CD deck paused
or stopped while calibrating.
Click and hold the estimate button until the slider stops moving. Moving the Noise Sensitivity slider
to the left will make Serato DJ more sensitive to slow record movement, but also more sensitive to
background noise.
Repeat the process for each deck.

Things to remember:

• Your needle must be on the record.

• Your turntable (or CD player) must be stationary.

• The background music playing must be at a similar level to
which you will play your set at.

• Calibrate Serato DJ every time you play.

TIP: If the slider jumps to the far right, then you have a problem
with noise in your turntables/CD players/mixer. Check all your
connections and make sure your equipment is well earthed.
In some situations you will not be able to improve the signal
quality, and you will have to play on regardless. In this situation,
stick to rel mode.

The Scopes

The scopes on the setup screen in Serato DJ display the input signal as a phase diagram. The key factors
to look at on the scope display are crisp clean lines, round shape, and the tracking percentage in the
lower right corner.
Start both turntables or CD players. You will see green rings appear in the scope view, as shown above.
For optimal performance the inner ring should be as close to circular as possible. Use the scope
zoom slider to zoom in or out as necessary. Use the scope L/R balance and P/A balance controls to
adjust the shape of the inner ring. The number in the top left corner of the scope view gives the current
absolute position within the control record or CD. The number in the top right corner is the current speed
in RPM. In the bottom left is the current threshold setting, and the number in the bottom right shows
the percentage of readable signal – this number should be close to 85% when your system is calibrated
properly.

For complete software operating instructions, see the Serato DJ Manual.

Power Supply

This mixer features an internal universal switching power supply that operates on any AC mains 100 to
240 VAC, 50 or 60 Hz (most places in the world). The universal supply is a major plus for the traveling DJ,
who only needs the right IEC line cord, available from a local electronics store. Though this mixer has turn
on/off muting, it’s smart to leave the power unplugged until everything else is connected.

Analog Inputs

Four Phono / CD inputs are provided by RCA jacks. These may be set for PH or CD using rear panel slide
switches. Analog inputs 1 and 2 are used by DECK 1. Analog inputs 3 and 4 are used by DECK 2. Analog
Input 1 or 2 may be selected in Serato DJ software as the Digital Vinyl Simulation (DVS) signal for the Left
Virtual Deck or for recording on USB stereo pair 5-6. Analog Input 3 or 4 may be selected in software as
the DVS signal for the Right Virtual Deck or for recording on USB stereo pair 7-8. Set any unused inputs to
CD. Connect your turntable ground wires to the PHONO GROUND posts on the rear when using PH inputs.
One stereo Session Input is available on a pair of RCA input jacks. This input may connect two mixers
together or as a general purpose auxiliary input to the mixer.
The Mic Input will accept an XLR 3-pin plug, a balanced ¼˝ TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) plug or an unbalanced
TS (tip-sleeve) plug. This input may be set for Microphone or Line level using the MIC - LINE switch on the
rear panel. Set this to Line when connecting a wireless receiver.
A stereo FlexFX Loop Return input is on unbalanced ¼˝ TS (tip-sleeve) jacks. These inputs automatically
switch to mono when only one cable is connected to the left or right Return input. The FlexFX Return input
is normally used along with the FlexFX Send output to connect an outboard analog effects processor.
Phono Sensitivity and Analog Insert level can be adjusted in the "Rane Drivers" on page 26.

Analog Outputs

There are ve stereo analog outputs available on the mixer:

• MAIN OUT is on a pair of balanced XLR jacks with pin 2 “hot” per AES standards.

• BOOTH OUT is on a pair of balanced ¼˝ TRS jacks.

• SESSION OU T is available on a pair of unbalanced RCA jacks.

• FLEXFX LOOP SEND output is available on a pair of unbalanced ¼˝ inch TS jacks. For a mono FlexFX Send,

use the Left output. The FlexFX Send output is normally used along with the FL EXF X LOOP RE TURN input to
connect outboard effects.

• HEADPHONES output is available on both ¼˝ TRS and 3.5 mm jacks.

The Main, Booth and Session outputs arrive from the same “Main Mix” signal. Main, Booth and Session
outputs each have their own LEVEL control. Because all signals are identical, users may use any of these
outputs as the “Main” output if a different cable type is required for system connection.
Rane recommends balanced wiring for the strongest signal and rejection of hum and noise. If your
cable to the destination is less than 10 feet (3 meters), you can often get away with an unbalanced cable.

Two USB Ports

There are six stereo record channels and four stereo playback channels. These channels are
simultaneously available on two USB ports, allowing two computers to share the device. This allows two
DJs to play together and supports uninterrupted transitions from one DJ to another.
Rane ASIO and Core Audio drivers allow the Sixty-Two to act as a 12-record 8-playback USB sound
card for use with Serato DJ and other third-party software applications that support ASIO or Core Audio.
These drivers are multi-client, meaning they allow multiple applications on a computer to share the device
at the same time.
The Sixty-Two has two USB ports, allowing simultaneous connection of two computers. Each port
is completely independent. It is possible to run Serato DJ on one computer while running third-party
software on the other, Mac or PC. See how to share the Sixty-Two in "DJ Changeover" on page 25.

Filter

The FILTER sweeps from Low-Pass to High-Pass. Set it to 12 o’clock for a at “no-lter” response. Moving
the lter toward the LOW position progressively reduces high frequencies. Moving the lter toward the HIGH
position progressively reduces low frequencies. The Resonance or Q of these Filters can be adjusted on
the mixer in the "Deck 1-2 Channel Options Menu" on page 23, or in the "Rane Drivers" on page 26.
High resonance adds a “zip” effect to the Filter when it is moved. Low resonance is best when the Filter is
used for mixing.

FlexFX

The blue FLEXFX buttons assign an input to the FlexFX bus where internal, external analog or software
effects via USB may be inserted. Any combination of Deck 1, Deck 2, Mic or USB Aux can be assigned
with the option to insert internal effects, external analog effects or software effects via USB. See "FlexFX
Loop" on page 18.

Channel Faders & Crossfader

These faders use magnetic non-contact mechanisms with no noise and no bleed. Each fader has REVERSE
and CONTOUR controls on the front panel. See "Magnetic Fader Maintenance" on page 36.

Channel Meters

Each Deck channel has a mono meter to assist in setting levels. These meters are quasi-peak with peak
hold. Use the LEVEL controls to stay out of the red.

Headphone Cue

CUE buttons assign a signal to the headphone monitor. Deck 1, Deck 2, USB Aux, and the
FlexFX Bus can be cued in the headphones before bringing it into the mix. Cue controls
operate as solo or radio-button controls. This means engaging a Headphone Cue turns
all the other Headphone Cue controls off. You can select more than one at a time by
simultaneously pressing more than one Cue.

• The Headphone monitor provides stereo or mono split cue operation.

• When set for stereo operation (SPLIT CUE dim), the Pan control pans between stereo

Cue and stereo Main Mix.

• When set for Split Cue operation (SPLIT CUE bright), the Pan control pans between

Mono Cue in the left ear and mono Main Mix in the right ear.

• The Phones LEVEL control sets the volume to the headphone jacks.

• Headphone outputs are from ¼" and 3.5 mm jacks on the front panel. Both share the
same mix.
