Description
Rane takes performance mixer design
as seriously as performing DJs take their
art form. e TTM56S is exible, durable,
and feature packed. e audio quality of the
TTM56S qualies it for use in the most demanding
live venue, recording studio or live broadcast
applications.
Non-Contact Magnetic Crossfader and Channel Faders
Rane’s magnetic fader is the fastest, most accurate, and longest
lasting on the planet. e design uses non-contact magnetic posi-
tion sensor technology previously reserved for the most demand-
ing 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 unaected 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 mo-
tion 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 eects loop switches route Program
1 and/or Program 2 to the eects loop. A Wet/Dry pan control
gives the user total control of how much processed signal is in the
mix. e eects loop is post-fader, so reverb and other delay eects
respond to both Channel Faders and Crossfader without cutting
o 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 eect.
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 simplied by putting all the controls you
need on top, and increasing the width by one inch.
