Description
Rane takes performance mixer design as
seriously as performing DJs take their art
form. e TTM 56S is flexible, durable, and
feature packed. e audio quality of the TTM
56S qualifies it for use in the most demanding
live venue, recording studio or live broadcast
applications.
TTM 56S
PERFORMANCE MIXER
Non-Contact Magnetic Crossfader and Channel
Faders
Rane’s patented magnetic fader is the fastest, most accurate,
and longest lasting on the planet. e design uses non-contact
magnetic position sensor technology previously reserved for the
most demanding aerospace and industrial applications. No travel
noise - No bleed - Ever! Unlike optical non-contact faders, the
magnetic fader is impervious to smoke, moisture, temperature
and aging. e electrical performance is totally unaffected by
use. e mechanical life of the magnetic fader exceeds 10 million
operations.
ese magnetic faders know exactly what your hand is doing!
A proprietary curve-translation module converts your hand motion into precise audio level control. Each of the Crossfader and
Channel Fader controls include a Reverse switch and an indepen-
dent continuously adjustable Contour control, adjusting from a
smooth blend to extremely fast cut.
Post-Fader FlexFx™
Rane’s proprietary FlexFx effects loop switches route Program
1 and/or Program 2 to the effects loop. A Wet/Dry pan control
gives the user total control of how much processed signal is in the
mix. e effects loop is post-fader, so reverb and other delay effects
respond to both Channel Faders and Crossfader without cutting
off tails.
Stereo Metering
e TTM 56S features two 10-segment meters with peak-hold.
A source switch allows users to select dual-mono Cue or Stereo
Master operation. No stress about dropping a channel without
knowing.
Auxiliary Input and Output (Session Mix)
A stereo Aux Input with a Level control provides input for a
session mix, drum machine or other auxiliary input signal. e
stereo Aux Output with Level control provides output for session
mix, booth monitoring, recording or second zone.
3-Band Accelerated-Slope™ Full-Cut EQ
e TTM 56S provides 3-band, full cut tone controls for
Program 1 and Program 2. EQ engage switches allow A/B
comparison and the ability to quickly cut or add EQ effect.
TTM 56 to TTM 56S
e TTM 56 has been the world's most popular battle DJ mixer
for many years. e new TTM 56S improves with a universal
internal power supply that works almost anywhere in the world
(100-240 VAC). All four inputs are now Phono/Line switchable,
now letting you plug in 4 turntables or 4 CD players, or any
combination. Both ¼" and 3.5 mm headphone jacks are now
provided. e Transform switches are now Kill switches, and the
occasionally confusing and rarely-used Mode switches have been
removed. Operation is simplified by putting all the controls you
need on top, and increasing the width by one inch.
