TTM 56 Performance Mixer

TTM 56

Rane takes performance mixer design as seriously as performing DJs take their art form. In an effort to provide the best instrument possible, Rane devoted two years of research and development creating a mixer with unparalleled performance. The TTM 56 is flexible, durable, and feature packed. The audio quality of the TTM 56 qualifies it for the most demanding live venue, recording studio or live broadcast applications.

Non-Contact Magnetic Crossfader and Channel Faders

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.

These magnetic faders know exactly what your hand is doing! A proprietary curve-translation module converts your hand motion into precise audio level control. The TTM 56 offers the user more flexible curve selection and fader assignment options than ever before. This technology is used for both Channel Faders and the Crossfader.

The Crossfader control includes Reverse switch, Mode switch and independent, continuously adjustable Contours for A-side and B-side. In Mode 1, the Contour control adjusts from smooth blend to extremely fast cut. Select Mode 2 for center-cut effect (PGM 1 and PGM 2 off in the center) with full range Contour control.

The Channel Fader controls include Reverse switches, Mode switches and continuously adjustable Contours. In Mode 1, the Contour control adjusts from smooth blend to extremely fast cut. Select Mode 2 for Left/Right pan effect with Contour control. The Channel Reverse switch allows left and right hand Channel Faders to control Program 1 or Program 2.

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.
