QUICK START
If you’re setting up the AM1 automixer, but your life depends
on getting back to Twitter® feeds and Facebook® posts, then this
Quick Start is for you. It’s intended to get your audio working
quickly in slightly more than 140 characters.
Plug microphones into the Mic Inputs using standard XLR
mic cables. Condenser mics need the MIC +48V switch position.
Use the MIC +0V middle position for dynamic mics. e LINE
position is used when a wireless microphone’s receiver output is
connected.
Connect line sources such as iPods® or CD/DVD player au-
dio to the AUX Inputs: 3.5 mm mini and RCA jacks, respective-
ly. Use the USB charge-only port for keeping the iPod’s battery
charged during playback.
Connect the Main Output XLR to your amplier or powered
loudspeaker and select the LINE switch position. If the Main
Output feeds a microphone input, select the MIC position.
Connect the computer’s USB port to the USB Audio jack.
Once the Windows® or Apple® operating system recognizes the
AM1 as a stereo I/O device, the rear green USB light illuminates.
Start with all the front panel gray knobs turned all the way
down – fully counterclockwise. One at a time for each mic, talk
very loudly and very closely to the mic and adjust the corre-
sponding front panel LEVEL control so only the loudest speech
just barely ickers the red overload (OL) indicators. Once the
input gains are set, the AM1 automatically controls the mic mix
to avoid feedback. (You won’t need to ride these controls.)

turned up most of the way to get the hottest signal, but without
making the AM1 overload lights ash.
Play audio from your computer’s audio software application
and select the Rane AM1 as the playback and/or recording de-
vice (See USB Audio later in this Manual). If the software oers
playback volume, turn it up all the way.
Turn on the amplier/loudspeaker and turn it up about
half way. Also turn the AM1 OUTPUT gray knob up until the
volume is appropriate for your application. Use the four gray Mix
knobs to adjust the relative volume of the sources.
If the system feeds back (that horrible squeal), something is
turned up too much. First try moving the mics farther from the
loudspeaker and/or pointing the mics and loudspeakers away
from each other. If this does not reduce feedback, don’t reach for
the black Mic Input knobs, instead turn down the gray Mic Mix
knob. While turning down the output or amplier may help,
this also turns down the iPod, CD or USB Audio, only hiding
the feedback problem.
If your system uses the RAD Port, connect a shielded CAT5
cable to one of the Rane Mongoose's rear panel Remote Audio
Device ports. Some systems may provide a wall plate location to
connect the RAD Port cable.
When cascading one or more AM2 automixers into the
AM1, be certain each Cascade In connection feeds a Cascade
Out. In the cascaded chain, the AM1 must go between all the
AM2s and the Mongoose. Only one AM1 can be included in a
cascaded system.
Now you can tweet that your AM1 is working ne.

FRONT PANEL DESCRIPTION
1 MIC INPUT LEVEL controls adjust the mic input gain. e green Signal indicators inform of audio presence. Overload
indicators warn of excessive signal levels.
2 MIC MIX LEVEL control adjusts the volume of all mixed microhones, including all upstream microphones when cascading
additional mics from a Rane AM2 (sold separately). Signal and Overload indicators inform and warn.
3 AUX 1 & AUX 2 MIX LEVEL controls alter the mix volume of the Aux 1 and Aux 2 inputs, respectively. Corresponding Signal
and Overload indicators ank each.
4 USB MIX LEVEL control adjusts the mix volume of the USB audio received from a computer connected to the rear panel USB
Audio jack. Signal and Overload colors are reminiscent of holiday lights.
5 Main OUTPUT LEVEL control adjusts the level of the mix exiting the XLR output and the RAD Port output. e Record
Output level is not aected by this control.
6 PHONES SOURCE cue switch selects which audio is heard in the headphone outputs: the mix of all Mics, the Aux 1 input, the
Aux 2 input, the USB audio input, or the Main Output. is allows listening in headphones to any single input before turning
each up in the mix using the MIX controls, or listening to the main mix before turning it up in the PA for the world to hear.
7 PHONES LEVEL control adjusts the volume of both the 3.5 mm and ¼" headphone jacks.
8 PHONES include both 3.5 mm and ¼" headphone jacks for either size headphone plug.
9 LOCATE indicator helps system installers identify a specic AM1 Automixer when using Rane’s Mongoose Tracker software.
0 POWER indicator lights whenever adequate power is applied to the unit.

REAR PANEL DESCRIPTION
1 AC Power IEC input accepts electrons to power up the AM1. ough it is rst in this list, it’s best to connect it last.
2 FAULT indicator lights when something goes awry.
LOCATE indicator ashes when toggled from the Mongoose Tracker software. When using multiple AM1 devices in a Rane
Mongoose-based CobraNet™ system, this uniquely identies a specic AM1.
USB indicator lights when a Windows or Apple operating system recognizes the AM1 as a stereo I/O sound card.
POWER indicator glows when owing electrons pass in and out of the AC Power IEC input.
3 USB AUdIO connector allows simultaneous 16-bit, 48 kHz playback and recording via a computer. e AM1 registers as a
standard sound card with either Windows or Apple operating systems.
4 CASCAdE IN port permits adding up to 56 more microphones to the AM1’s 4 mic inputs using up to 7 Rane AM2 automixers,
sold separately. Use shielded Ethernet CAT 5 cable connected from the AM2’s Cascade Out.
5 RAd PORT connects to a Rane Mongoose’s Remote Audio Device port to transport the single-channel, Main Mix of the AM1 to
a CobraNet network or another Remote Audio Device.
6 CASCAdE IN & RAd PORT status indicators prove that proper cable termination and device conguring has occurred when all
four indicators illuminate. If any of these are o or ashing, a conguration or wiring error is the culprit.
7 MAIN OUTPUT XLR connector contains the main mix of all mics, Aux 1, Aux 2 and USB Audio input signals. e front panel
Output Level control adjusts the level exiting this jack.
MIC/LINE Output switch changes this Main XLR Output to mic-level, for feeding the output mix to a mic input device; or
line-level for feeding line-level input devices.
8 RECORd Output RCA jacks contain the same audio mix as the Main Output. e signal is not aected by the Output Level
control.
9 USB CHARgE-ONLy port powers and charges many USB devices such as iPods®.
0 AUX INPUT 2 stereo 3.5 mm jack is internally monoed immediately and useful for connecting MP3 players of all kinds.
q AUX INPUT 1 dual RCA jacks are internally monoed immediately and enjoy being fed audio from CD, DVD, 8-Track tape
players, reel-to-reel machines, docking stations or iPhone®, iPod® or iPad® headphone jacks.
w MIC INPUTS 1 thru 4 accept dynamic or condenser microphones, or the output of a wireless microphone receiver. ese inputs
are optimized for speech and have a xed 100 Hz low-cut and 7 kHz high-cut lter. Both lters are 2nd-order Butterworth lters.
e 3-position MIC/LINE switches support 48 volt phantom power Mic position for condenser mics, zero volt Mic position for
dynamic mics, and the Line position intended for wireless mic receiver outputs.

CONNECTION
Connect the AC power cord last to avoid loudspeakers hurting
your sensitive ears.
MIC INPUTS
e four mic jacks are balanced XLR inputs. Unbalanced mics
or wiring can also be used with their inherent lower quality and
higher potential for hum and noise. Standard microphone cable
with a two-conductor twisted pair plus a shield is best. Rane
follows the AES recommended practice of pin 2 positive (hot),
pin 3 negative, and pin 1 to shield. If your microphone is unbal-
anced (only two conductors), see the Sound System Interconnec-
tion RaneNote elsewhere in this manual or on Rane’s website for
the proper cable to use. Or better yet, get a balanced mic.
For condenser microphones which require phantom power,
use the MIC +48V switch position. Dynamic mics use the
center, MIC +0V position. When using a wireless microphone
receiver, use the LINE position.
AUX INPUTS
e two Aux inputs accept line-level audio. While the physical
¼" and 3.5 mm jacks are both stereo, the internal audio on both
Aux inputs is immediately monoed since the AM1 Mix is mono.
USB CHARGE-ONLY PORT
e USB Charge-Only port supplies 5 volts DC at up to 500
mA to charge iPods® and many other USB-powered devices.
RECORD OUTPUT
e RCA line-level outputs are unbalanced. Both RCA jacks
contain the same mono mix of the Mic, Aux, and USB Audio
inputs.
MAIN OUTPUT
e Main Output is a mono balanced XLR jack. Connect the
Main Output XLR using mic cable to your amplier or powered
loudspeaker and select the LINE position on the adjacent switch.
If the Main Output feeds a microphone snake or mic input,
select the MIC switch position.
USB AUDIO PORT
Connect a USB cable from this port to the computer’s USB port.
Once the operating system recognizes the AM1 as a stereo input
and output “sound card,” the rear panel USB indicator lights.
e AM1 can simultaneously playback and record via a com-
puter using this USB audio port.
RAD PORT
If your audio system delivers the AM1’s Main Output audio mix
using Rane’s digital audio transport technology exiting the RAD
Port, connect a shielded Ethernet patch cable to the RAD Port.
When the Rane Mongoose at the other end of this connection
recognizes the AM1’s RAD Port, audio nirvana is achieved and
all four adjacent RAD Port Status indicators illuminate.
CASCADE IN
Connect a shielded Ethernet patch cable from the CASCADE
IN port to a Rane AM2’s CASCADE OUT port to add more
mics to the mic mix of an AM1. All four CASCADE IN Status
Indicators illuminate when the two devices recognize each other.
Connect up to seven Rane AM2 Automixers to add up to 56
more mics. Be certain to connect CASCADE OUT to CAS-
CADE IN throughout – otherwise, nirvana won’t be achieved.
Note: Only one AM1 Automixer is permitted in a cascaded
system. When cascading mixers, the AM1 must be the device
that feeds the Mongoose. In other words, the AM1 RAD Port
wires to the Mongoose, and up to seven AM2 mixers chain to-
gether into the AM1’s CASCADE IN. See the illustration below.

MIC INPUTS
e rear panel, three-position Mic/Line switches set the mic
input gain such that the maximum signal permitted almost clips
the A/D converter. is is true for each switch position. e Mic
Inputs are automatically mixed using a gain-sharing algorithm.
Set the inputs using the black knobs so they do not (or rarely)
clip. en, sit back and relax. If you’ve already set up the inputs
and someone starts talking louder/closer than you expected, feel
free to turn them down a little.
e green Signal indicators should easily light for soft talk-
ers even at relatively low Level settings. e Overload indicator
should light only occasionally for only the loudest talkers.
e gray Mic Mix knob adjusts the level of the automatic
mix of all Mic Inputs. Use it to change the mix of all the Mics
relative to the Aux 1, Aux 2 and USB Audio Line Inputs. Even
when multiple Rane AM2 Automixers are cascaded into an AM1
providing additional microphones, the Mic Mix knob on the
AM1 still adjusts the overall mix of all microphones – up to 60
mics when using seven AM2s. e Overload indicator adjacent
to the Mic Mix knob indicates that the mix of all mics is getting
too loud for the internal circuitry. It can light occasionally, but
only during the loudest talking.
Since these Mic Inputs and their underlying gain-sharing au-
tomix algorithm are designed and optimized for speech signals,
do not use these Inputs with non-speech audio signals such as
musical instruments or CD/DVD.
AUX INPUTS
e two Aux Inputs are designed for iPod®/MP3 players, CD/
DVD players, et cetera. Since the AM1 mix is mono, audio
at these two stereo inputs is monoed upon entering the AM1.
Adjust the front panel Aux Level controls for Aux 1 and Aux 2
to set the relative mix of these sources. e Overload indicators
light when the incoming audio is getting too loud. Only the very
loudest audio sources should occasionally light the Overload
indicator.
If you’re using an iPod® or other aux/line source that allows
output volume adjustments, turn the volume up as far as possible
without lighting the Overload indicator too often.
MIXING
e Mic Inputs are automatically mixed. Use the four gray Mix
knobs to adjust the relative volume of the four inputs: Mic Mix,
Aux 1, Aux 2 and USB Audio from the PC. e red overload
indicators should light only when the loudest source sounds are
running at full-tilt boogie.
OUTPUTS
All the AM1 audio outputs, digital and analog, contain a mono
mix of the automatically mixed Mics and manually mixed Line
Inputs from the four gray Mix knobs.
RECORD OUTPUT
e level or volume of the Record Output is not altered by the
AM1’s front panel Output level control. is permits consistent
recording levels on your favorite recording device, while adjust-
ing the volume in the room / PA system.
MAIN OUTPUT
e front panel Output Level control adjusts the level of this
output.
HEADPHONE AND CUEING
Plug in headphones and adjust the Phones Level knob to a com-
fortable volume. All headphone audio is mono – just like all the
other AM1 outputs.
e Source knob allows cueing each mix source indepen-
dently. is allows verication that a source is working properly
before bringing it into the mix.
With the Source set to Output, the entire mix is heard. Use
the four gray Mix knobs to adjust the relative volume of each
source. Select Mic Mix to hear the automatic mix of all micro-
phones in the system. Select Aux 1, Aux 2 or USB to hear each
of these inputs individually.
Use only one of the headphone jacks at a time.

CASCADE IN PORT
e Cascade Input allows more mics to be added to the gain-
sharing mic mix algorithm of the AM1’s four Mic Inputs. When
a shielded Ethernet patch cable fed from an AM2 is connected
here, all cascaded AM2 microphones are automatically added to
the automatic Mic Mix of the AM1. (US Patent Pending.)
Cascade audio is 24-bit, 48 kHz, xed-point for the curious
audio nerd.
To add more microphones to your system, use a Ethernet
patch cable to connect an AM2 CASCADE OUT port to the
AM1 CASCADE IN port. Doing so allows all 12 mixed micro-
phones (eight AM2 + four AM1) to be heard at the AM1’s Main,
Record, USB Audio and RAD Port Outputs.
When all four Cascade Status indicators light, this means
the cable is wired properly. If any of the Status indicators are
ashing, the cable is not wired properly or damaged. In this case,
perhaps an Ethernet crossover cable was accidentally connected,
or the cable crimp has an error.
We recommend using shielded twisted-pair for the best EMI
performance.
CASCADE IN Status indicators are dened below:
AUdIO TX LED – lights when the AM1’s audio is successfully
transmitted to, and received by, the AM2. If this is o, check
the cable.
AUdIO RX LED – lights when the connected AM2 successfully
sends audio which also proves this twist in the cable is correct.
COMM LED – lights green when the AM2’s Cascade Out is
properly communicating with the AM1 and proves that the
twisted pair for Comm in the cable is good. If this indicator is
o, the cable is not a happy camper.
POWER LED – is always on when the AM1 is powered. If the
AM1 is powered and this is o, make sure the power twisted
pair in the connected cable is not shorted.
RAD PORT
e RAD Port contains a Rane-specic digital audio transport
protocol allowing audio delivery to and from a CobraNet™
digital audio network via a Rane Mongoose (sold separately).
e audio exiting the RAD Port contains the main mix and is
attenuated by the AM1’s front panel Output Level control. is
port can only be used to connect to a Rane Mongoose.
For inquisitive technophiles, RAD Port audio is 24-bit,
48kHz, xed-point.
RAD PORT Status indicators are dened below:
AUdIO TX LED – lights green when communications with the
Mongoose has been established and the Mongoose is receiving
the AM1’s Tx audio. If this indicator is o, either the cable
is bad, or there is a communications error between the
Mongoose and AM1 RAD Port (see COMM LED below).
AUdIO RX LED – lights green when the RAD Port successfully
receives audio from the Mongoose. If this indicator is o, you
may have a bad cable, or the Mongoose at the other end of the
cable is not powered or connected.
COMM LED – lights green when communication is established
between the Mongoose and the AM1. is indicator turns o
if the RAD Port cannot communcate with the Mongoose for
some reason – most likely due to a faulty cable.
POWER LED – lights green when the RAD Port is receiving 24
volt power from the Mongoose. is also indicates that the
twisted pair for power within the cable is wired and crimped
properly. If the Power LED is o and the other end of the
cable is plugged into a powered Mongoose, there is a problem
with the cable.

Manual-7
USB AUDIO I/O
Since the AM1 appears as a standard Windows or Mac stereo
playback and record device, you can simultaneously record the
AM1 Main Mix and playback audio via the USB. is makes
many popular audio software programs instantly compatible
with the AM1. Once the computer’s operating system nishes
registering the AM1 via USB, the rear panel USB indicator
lights. e AM1 always registers as a 16-bit, 48 kHz device.
Most audio programs work after setting the AM1 as a default
device, but a few programs may need their preferences manually
set to play or record at 16-bit, 48 kHz.
Play audio from your computer’s audio software applica-
tion and select the Rane AM1 as the playback and/or recording
device. If your audio software oers a playback volume control,
turn it up most or all of the way, but without ashing the front
panel USB input Overload indicator too much. e front panel
USB Mix Level knob adjusts the mix volume of the incoming
USB audio.
WINDOWS OPERATION
When Windows detects the AM1 it automatically sets it as the
default Recording and Playback device. With Windows XP® and
Vista®, any audio applications currently running will continue to
use the previously selected default device. Restart the application
to make it use the AM1 for recording or playback. Windows7®
automatically switches a running application to the newly con-
nected AM1. To avoid surprises, we recommend turning the
USB Level down while connecting.
Remember that Windows likes to play dierent bleeps and
bloops when updates install, devices are plugged in and un-
plugged, or other operating system events happen. If you do
not want these sounds played into your mix, turn o Windows
system sounds. is can be found in:
Start -> Control Panel -> Sound -> Sounds (tab) -> Sound Scheme -> No Sounds.
Finding the audio properties and devices in Windows varies
slightly with each version.

MACINTOSH OPERATION
When OSX® detects the AM1, it adds it to the list of audio
input and output devices, but does not automatically set it as
the default device. Some Macintosh® applications allow you to
select the device you want to use. Other applications only use
the device specied as the OSX default. We recommend that you
set the default audio input and output device to the AM1 before
starting the application you want to use.
Congure the default audio device in OSX by navigating to:
System Preferences -> Sound -> Output (tab) and Input (tab).
