Rane TTM 56S Performance Mixer

Rane TTM 56S Performance Mixer

TTM 56 to TTM 56S Improvements

The TTM 56 has been the world's most popular performance mixer for many years.
The new TTM 56S improves with several new features:

* Universal internal power supply works anywhere you can plug into 100-240 VAC.
* All four inputs are now Phono/Line switchable - plug in 4 turntables or 4 CD players, or any combination.
* Both 1/4" and 3.5 mm headphone jacks are now provided on the front.
* The Transform switches are now Kill switches.
* Operation is simplified by putting all the controls on top, increasing the width by one inch. Text is now readable in the dark under black light.
* The three long-lasting non-bleed magnetic faders did not change, as they are still the best in the business!

Description

Rane takes performance mixer design as seriously as performing DJs take their art form. The TTM 56S is flexible, durable, and feature packed. The audio quality of the TTM 56S qualifies it for use in the most demanding live venue, recording studio or live broadcast applications.
Non-Contact Magnetic Crossfader and Channel Faders

These 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 independent 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. The effects loop is post-fader, so reverb and other delay effects respond to both Channel Faders and Crossfader without cutting off tails.

New Internal Universal Power Supply

The TTM 56S comes with a removable C13 power cord that is easily replaceable if you lose yours. This mixer will operate anywhere you can get voltage from 100 to 240 AC.
New Switches on All 4 Inputs

All four inputs are Phono/Line switchable on the rear panel - plug in 4 turntables or 4 CD players, or any combination.
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. The stereo Aux Output with Level control provides output for session mix, booth monitoring, recording or second zone.

3-Band Accelerated-Slope™ Full-Cut EQ

The 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.

Rane’s patented magnetic fader is the fastest, most accurate, and longest lasting on the planet. The 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. The electrical performance is totally unaffected by use. The mechanical life of the magnetic fader exceeds 10 million operations.

The engineers at Rane employed a sewing machine to test the durability of the magnetic fader. Each stroke generated one count. We have it set to apply a million strokes to the fader every day. We tested 13 million strokes before we got tired of hearing the darn thing, and the fader shows absolutely no wear or degradation.
