Do not directly block any of the ventilation openings. If rackmounting, please provide adequate
ventilation. Equipment may be located directly above or below this unit, but note that some
equipment (like large power amplifiers) may cause an unacceptable amount of hum or may
generate too much heat and degrade the performance of this equipment.
Protect the power cord and plug from damage caused by being walked on or pinched. Protect
the line cord, where it exits the unit, from excessive strain. Only use attachments and accessories specified by Rane.

Quick Start
Congratulations! You are the proud owner of an exceptional
performance instrument. Experienced turntablists will find the
TTM 56 comfortable and familiar. e TTM 56 has many unique
features which are mastered quicker if you read the manual. Right!
We know you can’t resist jumping right in, but please read at least
this portion of the manual. It will help you get a good start.
About the faders: e program faders and crossfader are magnetic,
non-contact faders. is means No travel noise – No bleed – Ever!
e electrical performance of the faders is unaffected by use. Old
habits are hard to break, but you really don’t have to mess with
these faders. e magnetic faders in this mixer are very different
from what you are used to. Be sure and read the Q and A section
on page Manual-8.

Special Features:
• Program fader MODE switches allow selecting two sets of
curves:
MODE 1 gives the familiar stereo fader response.
MODE 2 gives a left/right pan effect.
• Both curves allow continuous adjustment of CONTOUR, giv-
ing smooth blend or fast cut.
• e CHANNEL REVERSE switch allows the left-hand or
right-hand fader to control PGM 1 or PGM 2.
• e CROSSFADER MODE switch allows selecting two sets of curves:
MODE 1 gives the familiar PGM 1 to PGM 2 cross-fade response.
MODE 2 gives a center cut response (PGM 1 and PGM 2 are off in the center).
• Independent CONTOUR controls for each side of the crossfader allow cut on one side and blending on the other (or any combination).
• Auxiliary Inputs and Outputs, with independent level controls, give session mixing ability.
AUX Inputs may be used for a drum machine, tape, etc.
AUX Input is after the crossfader and after the effects loop.
AUX Outputs may be used for recording, booth monitoring, or a second zone.
AUX Output is the same as the Master Mix.
• FlexFX™ allow assignment of PGM 1, PGM 2 or both to the effects loop. e effects loop is post-fader. You get great results when us-
ing the program faders or crossfader with reverb or other delay effects. WET/DRY pan lets you control how much effect is in the mix.
• ree-band Accelerated-Slope™ EQ allows full cut of each band. e EQ engage switch lets you A/B compare or quickly transform the
EQ effect.
• Two 10-segment meters provide dual-mono-Cue or stereo-Master operation.
• Yes, we included a power switch on the rear.
this. Make sure the CHANNEL REVERSE switch is off. Start by changing the Mode and Contour of each fader, one at a time. See the diagrams on pages Manual-6-7 to understand the fader responses under different settings. Once you understand the controls, start creating!
e flexibility of the TTM 56 faders can result in some initial confusion. We highly recommend trying one thing at a time to avoid

Inputs
PGM 1 and PGM 2 each have stereo PHONO and stereo LINE inputs.
PHONO 1 and PHONO 2 inputs are RIAA compensated inputs, for turntables only!
PHONO GND terminals provide independent ground connect points for turntables. It is very important that each turntable have a
very good ground connection to one of these terminals. e thumbscrews will come off if they are over-rotated, so be careful not
to spin them off and lose them.
LINE 1 and LINE 2 inputs are unbalanced line-level inputs with a sensitivity of -10 dBV (max gain).
AUX INPUT may be used with a drum machine, groovebox, sampler, or another mixer’s output for session mix. is Input is mixed
after the Crossfader and Effects loop.
MIC INPUT is a balanced input specifically designed for a dynamic microphone.
Power
POWER connector. is is not a telephone jack! Connect only the Rane RS 1 power supply included with your TTM 56.
e POWER switch is located just above the power connector. You know what to do with this one, but leave it off until everything is
connected.
Effects Loops
MIC EFFECTS insert jack is unbalanced. It is wired for TRS, Tip=Send, Ring=Return. is is an independent Effects Loop for the
Mic. ere is no engage switch, so the Mic signal is always processed when you have an effects box connected. If you are connecting to an effects processor with a Send/Return jack, a single TRS cable will work. If your effects processor has separate Send and
Receive jacks, you need a “Y” cable. You can buy a Send/Return cable from your local music store, or you can make one of your
own, as shown below.
FlexFX EFFECTS jacks are unbalanced mono ¼" TS (Tip/Sleeve). is stereo loop is used for output to (send) and input from (re-
turn) an effects processor. e SEND jacks provide the output to your effects processor. e RETURN jacks provide input for the
signal returning from your effects processor. To use with effects insert devices with a single TRS, tip=send, ring=return jack, you
need a “Y” cable, as shown below.
