In Nederland komen we het merk eigenlijk vrij weinig tegen en dat is jammer want Rane behoort tot de beste (zo niet DE beste) mixer bouwers van deze wereld. De laatste keer dat ik een Rane in het wild tegen ben gekomen kan maar zo een jaar of 5 geleden zijn, de TTM56 heb ik echter nog nooit mogen aanschouwen en dat zal binnenkort ook niet meer kunnen want de TTM56 krijgt een update en gaat in het vervolg onder de naam TTM56S door het leven.

Rane TTM56S
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
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. 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.

Stereo Metering
The 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. 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.

TTM 56 to TTM 56S
The TTM 56 has been the world's most popular battle DJ mixer for many years. The 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 1/4" and 3.5 mm headphone jacks are now provided. The 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.
