QUICK START
No one likes to read manuals. Everyone likes to just start pushing buttons and turning knobs until the desired results magically
emerge. That’s usually OK, and with a very few exceptions, damage is unlikely to result from such procedures with the SM82S.
This product is quite obvious: Input LEVEL controls make Inputs louder or not, the stereo SENDs make things happen at the
LOOP SEND outputs, and so on. No real magic there. You should be aware, however, that if you want to connect a mono source to
the SM82S, use only the LEFT Input of a channel so that the mono source will drive both the Left and the Right channels.
Set the levels of the mixer so that the red lights stay off. If they come on, you are overdoing it and distortion will result.
SM82S CONNECTION
When connecting the SM82S to other components in your
system for the first time, leave the power supply for last. This will
give you a chance to make mistakes and correct them before any
damage is done to your fragile speakers and ears.
If you are making your own cables, or experience any hum
problems after hookup, please refer to the RaneNote, “Sound
System Interconnection” (supplied with this manual and available at rane.com).
INPUTS
The SM82S’s Inputs are unbalanced. This means that standard
¼" connectors on the ends of any good quality cable will work
well between your signal sources, signal processing and amplification. For best rejection of nasty things like hum and RF,
keep input cables under 10 feet (3 meters) in length.
Most sources give you the choice of stereo or mono output.
The mixer gives you the same choice. You will note that nomenclature has been placed beneath the input jacks indicating which
is RIGHT and which is LEFT (MONO). If a source is plugged
only into the Left jack and not into the Right, both Right and
Left channels will be fed with the Left Input. This allows the use
of either stereo or mono sources.
OUTPUTS
The SM82S offers balanced main outputs only. This means that
you may use them as either balanced or unbalanced, the choice
being made by the way the connectors are wired. It’s a good idea
to always use a TRS or stereo connector in the outputs no matter
which mode you are using. If a “mono” connector is used, inserting it into the output will short the ring (–) to ground and could
conceivably cause a small amount of distortion to be placed on
the tip (+). While this is not destructive, it may be significant
WEAR PARTS: This product contains no wear parts.
enough to be audible. Balancing therefore requires that both tip
(+) and ring (–) be wired to the following device. Unbalanced
requires only tip and sleeve connected, leaving the unused ring
open.
EFFECTS DEVICES
External devices which might be used could be either mono in
and out, while some may be mono in and stereo out, while still
others may be stereo on both ends. The SM82S easily accommodates all of these varieties. If your effect is mono on both
ends, connect its input to the SM82S LEFT LOOP SEND and
the effect’s output to the SM82S LEFT LOOP RETURN. This
configuration will sum Right and Left Loop Outputs to the
mono effect input and will sum the mono effect output to the
Left and Right Input buses. A mono-in stereo-out device would
connect to the loop outputs in the same way; however the stereo
outputs connect to the respective LEFT and RIGHT LOOP
RETURNS.
EXPANDING
Connecting two or more SM82Ss together to achieve more than
eight stereo Inputs requires that a stereo cable (tip, ring, sleeve)
be connected between the MAIN EXPAND OUTPUT of the
first mixer and the MAIN EXPAND INPUT of the second.
All 32 inputs will then appear at the main OUTPUT of mixer
number two. Only the first sixteen Inputs will be available at the
main Outputs of mixer number one. Should you wish to have all
Loop buses tied, connect the LOOP SENDS of mixer one to the
LOOP EXPAND INPUT of mixer two. All sixteen stereo sends
will then become active at the LOOP SENDS of the second mixer. The expand Inputs and Outputs are unbalanced signals, so to
prevent hum, keep expand cables under 10 feet (3 meters) in
length.

1 Input LEVEL controls: are rotary stereo attenuators that adjust the amount of both Left and Right signals applied to an Input.
Outputs are summed for mixing with all other Inputs. The unity gain position of this control is located at “7.5.”
2 Input OverLoad indicators: glow red whenever its corresponding Input’s output exceeds a level 4 dB below clipping, letting you
know it’s a good idea to turn this Input down a bit.
3 Input PAN controls: operate as ‘PAN’ with a mono signal, and ‘BALANCE’ with a stereo signal.
PAN: When a mono input is used (no plug in the RIGHT Input jack), the signal ‘moves’ from the Left to Right channels. At the
“L” extreme top of travel the sound source is heard from the Left output; at the other “R” extreme bottom it is heard only from the
Right output. In the middle, the sound is heard equally from each output, but is reduced in level by 3 dB relative to its original
value. This guarantees that as the sound is panned from one side to the other, it maintains equal loudness (power) for all positions.
BALANCE: In its center detent, Left and Right signals to each channel are allowed to pass at their original relative levels, therefore preserving the stereo image from devices connected to both of the Inputs. When the control is moved vertically toward the
“L” position, the Right channel level is decreased while the Left channel level is maintained. The opposite occurs if the control is
moved from the detent down toward the “R”.
4 Input SEND Level controls: determine the amount of Post-Fade stereo Input is fed to the Loop Send buses. Each Input’s stereo
SEND is summed on this bus and is available at the respective LEFT and RIGHT LOOP SENDS on the rear of the mixer.
5 RETURN LEVEL control: is a rotary stereo attenuator that controls the amount of Return which is to be added to the Main
Output. The unity gain position of this control is located at “7.5."
6 RETURN OverLoad indicator: glows red whenever the return levels exceed a level of 4 dB below clipping.
7 RETURN PAN control: is a vertical slider that controls the effect or source connected to the LOOP RETURN in the same way
the Input PAN controls work (see 3 above).
8 OUTPUT LEVEL control: is a rotary stereo attenuator that controls the final signal Level at the main OUTPUT jacks. The
unity gain position of this control is located at “7.5".
9 OUTPUT OverLoad indicator: glows red any time the output level exceeds 4 dB below clipping.
q OUTPUT PAN control: is a vertical slider that operates in the same fashion as the PAN control described in item 3 above. It
however, determines the relative levels of the LEFT and RIGHT MAIN OUTPUTS only.

1 Channel Input jacks: consist of eight pairs of unbalanced ¼" tip-sleeve jacks, used to connect any line-level signal source to the
SM82S. As indicated, only the LEFT is to be used if the Input is mono and should therefore appear in both Left and Right channels, depending on the position of the front panel PAN control.
2 MAIN EXPAND INPUT: A ¼" TRS stereo Input jack may link two or more SM82Ss together, or accept the output from
another mixer. This may also be used to sum any fixed-level stereo signal into the Main Outputs, producing a ninth stereo Input
when added with 1. A stereo Tip-Ring-Sleeve cable must be used here. The Left input is on the Tip, Right is on the Ring and the
Sleeve is ground.
3 LOOP EXPAND INPUT: Another ¼" TRS stereo Input, expands the stereo Loop buses of two SM82Ss so they share the same
effects loop. A stereo Tip-Ring-Sleeve cable must be used here. Connect the LEFT and RIGHT LOOP SENDS (4) of the first
unit to the LOOP EXPAND INPUT of the second SM82S. (Tip = left; Ring = right.)
4 LOOP SEND: This pair of ¼" jacks may drive an effect or similar device which is to be returned to item 5 below. If a mono
device is used, both the Left and Right Send channels of the SM82S are summed together and presented at the LEFT Output if
nothing is inserted in the RIGHT Output.
5 LOOP RETURN: These ¼" aux returns may connect the output of a reverb or other effect unit to the Loop bus of the SM82S.
If no effect is used, they can be used as a tenth stereo Input to the mixer in addition to those described in 1 and 2. As with the
other stereo Inputs, mono signal may be connected to the LEFT input to obtain two-channel mono operation.
6 MAIN EXPAND OUTPUT: This ¼" TRS stereo (Tip = left, Ring = right) Output jack connects one SM82S to another for the
purpose of expanding the number of Inputs available. Use only a stereo plug in this jack — a mono jack or cable will cause loss of
Right channel signal and possibly distortion to the Left channel. This Output also serves as a fixed pre-fader level useful as record
outputs or other applications. A send/return cable can be ideal for this output to drive a second amplifier or recorder. See the diagram below.
7 Main BALANCED OUTPUT: These balanced Tip-Ring-Sleeve jacks connect the main Outputs of the SM82S to a power amplifier or to additional signal processing. As is the AES standard with all Rane balanced outputs using ¼" TRS jacks, the Tip is (+),
the Ring is (–) and the Sleeve is ground.
8 Power connector: The internal universal switching power supply operates on any AC mains 100 to 240 VAC, 50 or 60 Hz (most
places in the world). All that is required when traveling is the appropriate IEC line cord.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Learning to operate the SM82S might be a bit easier if you
glance at the Block Diagram below. All eight stereo Inputs
operate in exactly the same way. Signal applied to the Inputs is
acted on by a radio interference filter (we have assumed that local
broadcasts should not be a part of your music) and is then routed
to a stereo LEVEL control. If you are using a mono source, connect it only to the LEFT Input to send this mono signal to both
the Left and Right sides of the input circuitry. The output of the
Level control sections is applied to a unity gain buffer to prevent
the LEVEL control from adversely interacting with downstream
circuitry. The Input overload sensor monitors here to alert the
user via LED to any possible Input overload conditions. Left and
Right audio is then subjected to the channel PAN control to allow the user to place the stereo image of the source as desired to
the Left and Right Outputs. A stereo SEND control adjusts the
amount of each Input routed to the Loop Output.
All eight stereo Inputs are simultaneously adjusted for stereo
placement by the OUTPUT PAN control. The resultant signal is
added together and fed to the OUTPUT LEVEL control, which
has it’s own Overload indicator. The main Outputs are fully
actively balanced, allowing the use of correctly wired long cables.
EFFECTS LOOP
The LOOP SENDS receive their audio from the Send bus which
is the sum of all the Inputs as determined by the Input SEND
controls. This Output may be used to drive a stereo effects processor. The output of the effect device is returned to the SM82S
through the LOOP RETURNS. The level of the returned effect
is determined by the RETURN LEVEL control on the front
panel. The return section also provides a BALance control for
image placement.
PAN / BALANCE CONTROLS
These operate as ‘PAN’ with a mono signal plugged in the LEFT
input only, and ‘BALANCE’ with a stereo signal (both jacks
plugged in). These do not increase the level of either Left or
Right signal. As the controls are moved toward one channel, the
level of the other channel is only reduced.
HIGH NOISE IMMUNITY
One of the most unusual features of the SM82S is its inherent immunity from noise. All eight of the stereo inputs may be
turned all the way up without increasing the internal noise of
the mixer. This is critical due to the wide variation in output
levels found in musical instruments and tape devices. A fairly
low-level guitar may be combined in the same system with a
high level synthesizer without any undesirable side-effects. The
SM82S eliminates the concerns normally associated with mixing
so-called -l0 dBV units with +4 dBu types.

SM82S
STEREO LINE MIXER
General Description
The Rane SM82S is a product offering incredible power and versatility. It is the equivalent of a sixteen channel mixer in one rack
space. Measuring only 5.25 inches deep, it can do the job of mixers costing several times as much while only occupying a fraction
of the rack space. It is ideally suited for keyboards, synthesizer
expander modules and drum machines, as well as such things as
effects mixing in guitar racks. It also functions as an excellent
submixer for stereo line inputs and effects to a larger console.
Because of shorter internal signal paths, it is much cleaner than
many mixers ten times the cost and size.
Each of the eight Stereo (two channel) input channels feature
a stereo rotary input Level control, a stereo aux Send level control
slider and a left to right Balance control slider. When a single
mono input is used, the Balance control acts as a pan pot. The
aux return section provides a rotary Return Level control and a
slide control for left to right Balance. The output stage includes
a rotary Output Level control and a slide control for left to right
Balance.
The human engineering applied to the SM82S makes it
extremely easy to operate. The segregation of function between
rotary and slide controls (rotary for all input and output Levels
and slide for Balance and Send) makes it simple to use, even in
the dark.
The SM82S is fully expandable using the ¼" TRS Main Expand Input and Output jacks. Expansion is as simple as connecting a stereo ¼" jumper cable from the first unit’s Expand Output
jack to the second unit’s Expand Input jack. Now, two SM82S
units create a 16 channel stereo (32 input) line level Mixer in just
two rack spaces. Or, 24 channel stereo (48 input) Mixer in just
three rack spaces. You get the idea!

Application Information
The SM82S allows you to mix eight Stereo line level Inputs down
to a main Stereo Output. Additionally you can create a separate
Stereo Loop Send mix for driving any stereo, or mono, external
processor, and then return from this processor into the Stereo
Loop Return Inputs. The stereo Return Level control is used to
set the desired mix of wet and dry signals.
For applications not requiring the looping facilities, the Loop
Return Inputs double as a fully functional 9th Stereo Input,
creating a 9-Input Stereo Mixer! When used this way, the Loop
Send Outputs become a separate Stereo Output pair, useful for
monitor sends, tape outputs, or any other application.
When not used for expansion, the Main Expand Output pair
double as a pre-fader stereo mix, again useful as tape outputs, or
any other fixed-level application.
Mono sources and external processors are handled easily by
the SM82S. Connecting only to any Left Input Jack automatically routes this signal to the Right channel so an equal Left/Right
signal is summed into the mains. Similarly, connecting only to
the Left Loop Send output gives you an equal mono L+R output
send for mono input processors.

Introduction
This note, originally written in 1985, continues to be
one of our most useful references. It’s popularity stems
from the continual and perpetual difficulty of hooking
up audio equipment without suffering through all sorts
of bizarre noises, hums, buzzes, whistles, etc.— not to
mention the extreme financial, physical and psychological price. As technology progresses it is inevitable that
electronic equipment and its wiring should be subject
to constant improvement. Many things have improved
in the audio industry since 1985, but unfortunately
wiring isn’t one of them. However, finally the Audio
Engineering Society (AES) has issued a standards
document for interconnection of pro audio equipment. It is AES48, titled “AES48-2005: AES standard
on interconnections —Grounding and EMC practices
— Shields of connectors in audio equipment containing
active circuitry.”
Rane’s policy is to accommodate rather than dictate. However, this document contains suggestions for
external wiring changes that should ideally only be
implemented by trained technical personnel. Safety
regulations require that all original grounding means
provided from the factory be left intact for safe operation. No guarantee of responsibility for incidental
or consequential damages can be provided. (In other
words, don’t modify cables, or try your own version of
grounding unless you really understand exactly what
type of output and input you have to connect.)

Interconnection-1
Ground Loops
Almost all cases of noise can be traced directly to
ground loops, grounding or lack thereof. It is important
to understand the mechanism that causes grounding
noise in order to effectively eliminate it. Each component of a sound system produces its own ground internally. This ground is usually called the audio signal
ground. Connecting devices together with the interconnecting cables can tie the signal grounds of the two
units together in one place through the conductors in
the cable. Ground loops occur when the grounds of the
two units are also tied together in another place: via
the third wire in the line cord, by tying the metal chassis together through the rack rails, etc. These situations
create a circuit through which current may flow in a
closed “loop” from one unit’s ground out to a second
unit and back to the first. It is not simply the presence
of this current that creates the hum—it is when this
current flows through a unit’s audio signal ground that
creates the hum. In fact, even without a ground loop, a
little noise current always flows through every interconnecting cable (i.e., it is impossible to eliminate these
currents entirely). The mere presence of this ground
loop current is no cause for alarm if your system uses
properly implemented and completely balanced interconnects, which are excellent at rejecting ground loop
and other noise currents. Balanced interconnect was
developed to be immune to these noise currents, which
can never be entirely eliminated. What makes a ground
loop current annoying is when the audio signal is affected. Unfortunately, many manufacturers of balanced
audio equipment design the internal grounding system
improperly, thus creating balanced equipment that is
not immune to the cabling’s noise currents. This is one
reason for the bad reputation sometimes given to balanced interconnect.
A second reason for balanced interconnect’s bad
reputation comes from those who think connecting
unbalanced equipment into “superior” balanced equipment should improve things. Sorry. Balanced interconnect is not compatible with unbalanced. The small
physical nature and short cable runs of completely
unbalanced systems (home audio) also contain these
ground loop noise currents. However, the currents in
unbalanced systems never get large enough to affect
the audio to the point where it is a nuisance. Mixing
balanced and unbalanced equipment, however, is an
entirely different story, since balanced and unbalanced
interconnect are truly not compatible. The rest of this
note shows several recommended implementations for
all of these interconnection schemes.
The potential or voltage which pushes these noise
currents through the circuit is developed between the
independent grounds of the two or more units in the
system. The impedance of this circuit is low, and even
though the voltage is low, the current is high, thanks to
Mr. Ohm, without whose help we wouldn’t have these
problems. It would take a very high resolution ohm
meter to measure the impedance of the steel chassis or
the rack rails. We’re talking thousandths of an ohm. So
trying to measure this stuff won’t necessarily help you.
We just thought we’d warn you.

CHASSIS SIGNAL
GROUND GROUND
The Absolute Best Right Way To Do It
The method specified by AES48 is to use balanced lines
and tie the cable shield to the metal chassis (right where
it enters the chassis) at both ends of the cable.
A balanced line requires three separate conductors, two of which are signal (+ and –) and one shield
(see Figure 1a). The shield serves to guard the sensitive
audio lines from interference. Only by using balanced
line interconnects can you guarantee (yes, guarantee)
hum-free results. Always use twisted pair cable. Chassis tying the shield at each end also guarantees the best
possible protection from RFI [radio frequency interference] and other noises [neon signs, lighting dimmers].
Neil Muncy1, an electroacoustic consultant and
seasoned veteran of years of successful system design,
chairs the AES Standards Committee (SC-05-05)
working on this subject. He tirelessly tours the world
giving seminars and dispensing information on how to
successfully hook-up pro audio equipment2. He makes
the simple point that it is absurd that you cannot go
out and buy pro audio equipment from several different
manufacturers, buy standard off-the-shelf cable assemblies, come home, hook it all up and have it work hum
and noise free. Plug and play. Sadly, almost never is
this the case, despite the science and rules of noise-free
interconnect known and documented for over 60 years
(see References for complete information).
It all boils down to using balanced lines, only balanced lines, and nothing but balanced lines. This is why
they were developed. Further, that you tie the shield to
the chassis, at the point it enters the chassis, and at both
ends of the cable (more on ‘both ends’ later).
Since standard XLR cables come with their shields
tied to pin 1 at each end (the shells are not tied, nor
need be), this means equipment using 3-pin, XLR-type
connectors must tie pin 1 to the chassis (usually called
chassis ground) — not the audio signal ground as is
most common.
Not using signal ground is the most radical departure from common pro-audio practice. Not that there
is any argument about its validity. There isn’t. This is
the right way to do it. So why doesn’t audio equipment
come wired this way? Well, some does, and since 1993,
more of it does. That’s when Rane started manufacturing some of its products with balanced inputs and
outputs tying pin 1 to chassis. So why doesn’t everyone
do it this way? Because life is messy, some things are
hard to change, and there will always be equipment in
use that was made before proper grounding practices
were in effect.
Unbalanced equipment is another problem: it is
everwhere, easily available and inexpensive. All those
RCA and ¼" TS connectors found on consumer equipment; effect-loops and insert-points on consoles; signal
processing boxes; semi-pro digital and analog tape
recorders; computer cards; mixing consoles; et cetera.
The next several pages give tips on how to successfully address hooking up unbalanced equipment.
Unbalanced equipment when “blindly” connected with
fully balanced units starts a pattern of hum and undesirable operation, requiring extra measures to correct
the situation.
The Next Best Right Way To Do It
The quickest, quietest and most foolproof method to
connect balanced and unbalanced is to transformer
isolate all unbalanced connections. See Figure 2.
Many manufacturers provide several tools for this
task, including Rane. Consult your audio dealer to explore the options available.
The goal of these adaptors is to allow the use of
standard cables. With these transformer isolation
boxes, modification of cable assemblies is unnecessary.
Virtually any two pieces of audio equipment can be
successfully interfaced without risk of unwanted hum
and noise.

Another way to create the necessary isolation is to
use a direct box. Originally named for its use to convert
the high impedance, high level output of an electric
guitar to the low impedance, low level input of a recording console, it allowed the player to plug “directly”
into the console. Now this term is commonly used to
describe any box used to convert unbalanced lines to
balanced lines.
The Last Best Right Way To Do It
If transformer isolation is not an option, special
cable assemblies are a last resort. The key here is to
prevent the shield currents from flowing into a unit
whose grounding scheme creates ground loops (hum)
in the audio path (i.e., most audio equipment).
It is true that connecting both ends of the shield is
theoretically the best way to interconnect equipment
–though this assumes the interconnected equipment is
internally grounded properly. Since most equipment is
not internally grounded properly, connecting both ends
of the shield is not often practiced, since doing so usually creates noisy interconnections.
A common solution to these noisy hum and buzz
problems involves disconnecting one end of the shield,
even though one can not buy off-the-shelf cables with
the shield disconnected at one end. The best end to disconnect is the receiving end. If one end of the shield is
disconnected, the noisy hum current stops flowing and
away goes the hum — but only at low frequencies. A
ground-sending-end-only shield connection minimizes
the possibility of high frequency (radio) interference
since it prevents the shield from acting as an antenna
to the next input. Many reduce this potential RF interference by providing an RF path through a small capacitor (0.1 or 0.01 microfarad ceramic disc) connected
from the lifted end of the shield to the chassis. (This is
referred to as the “hybrid shield termination” where the
sending end is bonded to the chassis and the receiving
end is capacitively coupled. See Neutrik’s EMC-XLR
for example.) The fact that many modern day installers still follow this one-end-only rule with consistent
success indicates this and other acceptable solutions to
FEMALE

SHIELD
RF issues exist, though the increasing use of digital and
wireless technology greatly increases the possibility of
future RF problems.
If you’ve truly isolated your hum problem to a specific unit, chances are, even though the documentation
indicates proper chassis grounded shields, the suspect
unit is not internally grounded properly. Here is where
special test cable assemblies, shown in Figure 3, really
come in handy. These assemblies allow you to connect
the shield to chassis ground at the point of entry, or to
pin 1, or to lift one end of the shield. The task becomes
more difficult when the unit you’ve isolated has multiple inputs and outputs. On a suspect unit with multiple
cables, try various configurations on each connection
to find out if special cable assemblies are needed at
more than one point.
See Figure 4 for suggested cable assemblies for your
particular interconnection needs. Find the appropriate output configuration (down the left side) and then
match this with the correct input configuration (across
the top of the page.) Then refer to the following pages
for a recommended wiring diagram.
Ground Lifts
Many units come equipped with ground lift switches.
In only a few cases can it be shown that a ground lift
switch improves ground related noise. (Has a ground
lift switch ever really worked for you?) In reality, the
presence of a ground lift switch greatly reduces a unit’s
ability to be “properly” grounded and therefore immune to ground loop hums and buzzes. Ground lifts
are simply another Band-Aid® to try in case of grounding problems. It is true that an entire system of properly grounded equipment, without ground lift switches,
is guaranteed (yes guaranteed) to be hum free. The
problem is most equipment is not (both internally and
externally, AC system wise) grounded properly.
Most units with ground lifts are shipped so the unit
is “grounded” — meaning the chassis is connected to
audio signal ground. (This should be the best and is
the “safest” position for a ground lift switch.) If after
hooking up your system it exhibits excessive hum or

buzzing, there is an incompatibility somewhere in the
system’s grounding configuration. In addition to these
special cable assemblies that may help, here are some
more things to try:
1. Try combinations of lifting grounds on units supplied with lift switches (or links). It is wise to do this
with the power off!
2. If you have an entirely balanced system, verify all
chassis are tied to a good earth ground, for safety’s
sake and hum protection. Completely unbalanced
systems never earth ground anything (except cable
TV, often a ground loop source). If you have a mixed
balanced and unbalanced system, do yourself a favor
and use isolation transformers or, if you can’t do
that, try the special cable assemblies described here
and expect it to take many hours to get things quiet.
May the Force be with you.
3. Balanced units with outboard power supplies (wall
warts or “bumps” in the line cord) do not ground the
chassis through the line cord. Make sure such units
are solidly grounded by tying the chassis to an earth
ground using a star washer for a reliable contact.
(Rane always provides this chassis point as an external screw with a toothed washer.) Any device with
a 3-prong AC plug, such as an amplifier, may serve
as an earth ground point. Rack rails may or may not
serve this purpose depending on screw locations and
paint jobs.
Floating, Pseudo, and Quasi-Balancing
During inspection, you may run across a ¼" output
called floating unbalanced, sometimes also called psuedo-balanced or quasi-balanced. In this configuration,
the sleeve of the output stage is not connected inside
the unit and the ring is connected (usually through a
small resistor) to the audio signal ground. This allows
the tip and ring to “appear” as an equal impedance,
not-quite balanced output stage, even though the output circuitry is unbalanced.
Floating unbalanced often works to drive either a
balanced or unbalanced input, depending if a TS or
TRS standard cable is plugged into it. When it hums, a
special cable is required. See drawings #11 and #12, and
do not make the cross-coupled modification of tying
the ring and sleeve together.
Winning the Wiring Wars
• Use balanced connections whenever possible, with
the shield bonded to the metal chassis at both ends.
• Transformer isolate all unbalanced connections
from balanced connections.
• Use special cable assemblies when unbalanced lines
cannot be transformer isolated.
• Any unbalanced cable must be kept under 10 feet
(3 m) in length. Lengths longer than this will amplify all the nasty side effects of unbalanced circuitry's
ground loops.
Summary
If you are unable to do things correctly (i.e. use fully
balanced wiring with shields tied to the chassis at both
ends, or transformer isolate all unbalanced signals
from balanced signals) then there is no guarantee that
a hum-free interconnect can be achieved, nor is there a
definite scheme that will assure noise-free operation in
all configurations.

LIMITED DOMESTIC WARRANTY
RANE CORPORATION WARRANTS ALL RANE PRODUCTS (EXCEPT THOSE ITEMS CLASSIFIED AS WEAR PARTS, AND LISTED ON THE
MANUAL-1 PAGE OF EACH OPERATORS MANUAL) PURCHASED IN THE USA AGAINST DEFECTS IN MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP
FOR A PERIOD OF TWO (2) YEARS. WEAR PARTS ARE LIMITED TO A PERIOD OF NINETY (90) DAYS FROM THE INITIAL DATE OF
RETAIL PURCHASE FROM AN AUTHORIZED RANE DEALER—WEAR PARTS REQUIRE PROOF OF PURCHASE DATE. This limited
warranty extends to all purchasers or owners of the product during the warranty period beginning with the original retail purchase. Rane Corporation
does not, however, warrant its products against any and all defects: 1) arising out of material or workmanship not provided or furnished by Rane, or
2) resulting from abnormal use of the product or use in violation of instructions, or 3) in products repaired or serviced by other than authorized Rane
repair facilities, or 4) in products with removed or defaced serial numbers, or 5) in components or parts or products expressly warranted by another
manufacturer. Rane agrees to supply all parts and labor to repair or replace defects covered by this limited warranty with parts or products of original
or improved design, at its option in each respect, if the defective product is shipped prior to the end of the warranty period to any Rane authorized
warranty repair facility in the U.S. or to the Rane factory in the original packaging or a replacement supplied by Rane, with all transportation costs and
full insurance paid each way by the purchaser or owner.
LIMITED WARRANTY OUTSIDE THE U.S.A.
RANE PRODUCTS ARE WARRANTED ONLY IN THE COUNTRY WHERE PURCHASED, THROUGH THE AUTHORIZED RANE
DISTRIBUTOR IN THAT COUNTRY, AGAINST DEFECTS IN MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP, THE SPECIFIC PERIOD OF THIS
LIMITED WARRANTY SHALL BE THAT WHICH IS DESCRIBED TO THE ORIGINAL RETAIL PURCHASER BY THE AUTHORIZED
RANE DEALER OR DISTRIBUTOR AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. Rane Corporation does not, however, warrant its products against any and
all defects: 1) arising out of materials or workmanship not provided or furnished by Rane, or 2) resulting from abnormal use of the product or use in
violation of instructions, or 3) in products repaired or serviced by other than authorized Rane repair facilities, or 4) in products with removed or defaced
serial numbers, or 5) in components or parts or products expressly warranted by another manufacturer. Rane agrees, through the applicable authorized
distributor, to repair or replace defects covered by this limited warranty with parts or products of original or improved design, at its option in each respect,
if the defective product is shipped prior to the end of the warranty period to the designated authorized Rane warranty repair facility in the country
where purchased, or to the Rane factory in the U.S., in the original packaging or a replacement supplied by Rane, with all transportation costs and full
insurance paid each way by the purchaser or owner.
ALL REMEDIES AND THE MEASURE OF DAMAGES ARE LIMITED TO THE ABOVE SERVICES, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT ECONOMIC
LOSS OR INJURY TO PERSON OR PROPERTY MAY RESULT FROM THE FAILURE OF THE PRODUCT; HOWEVER, EVEN IF RANE
HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THIS POSSIBILITY, THIS LIMITED WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER ANY SUCH CONSEQUENTIAL OR
INCIDENTAL DAMAGES. SOME STATES OR COUNTRIES DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSION OF INCIDENTAL
OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARISING BY LAW, COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, USAGE
OF TRADE, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED TO A PERIOD OF TWO (2) YEARS FROM EITHER THE DATE OF ORIGINAL RETAIL
PURCHASE OR, IN THE EVENT NO PROOF OF PURCHASE DATE IS AVAILABLE, THE DATE OF MANUFACTURE, SOME STATES
OR COUNTRIES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS
MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. THIS LIMITED WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER
RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO STATE, COUNTRY TO COUNTRY.
Warranty-1
WARRANTY PROCEDURE - Only Valid in the USA
NOTICE! You must complete and return the warranty card or register your
product online to extend the Warranty from 2 years to 3 years!
TO VALIDATE YOUR EXTENDED WARRANTY: Use the postcard that came in the box with your unit, or go to www.rane.com and
click on New Product Registration. Fill out the warranty completely, being sure to include the model and serial number of the unit
since this is how warranties are tracked. If your Rane product was purchased in the USA, mail the completed card or register online with
to Rane Corporation within 10 days from the date of purchase. If you purchased the product outside the USA you must file your
warranty registration with the Rane Distributor in that country. It is advised that you keep your bill of sale as proof of purchase,
should any difficulties arise concerning the registration of the warranty card. NOTICE: IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO REGISTER IN
ORDER TO RECEIVE RANE CORPORATION’S STANDARD TWO YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY.
WARRANTY REGISTRATION is made and tracked by model and serial numbers only, not by the purchaser’s or owner’s name.
Therefore any warranty correspondence or inquires must include the model and serial number of the product in question. Be sure to fill
in the model and serial number in the space provided below and keep this in a safe place for future reference.
WARRANTY SERVICE MUST BE PERFORMED ONLY BY AN AUTHORIZED RANE SERVICE FACILITY LOCATED IN
THE COUNTRY WHERE THE UNIT WAS PURCHASED, OR (if product was purchased in the USA) AT THE RANE FACTORY
IN THE USA. If the product is being sent to Rane for repair, please call the factory for a Return Authorization number. We recommend
advance notice be given to the repair facility to avoid possible needless shipment in case the problem can be solved over the phone.
UNAUTHORIZED SERVICE PERFORMED ON ANY RANE PRODUCT WILL VOID ITS EXISTING FACTORY WARRANTY.
FACTORY SERVICE
If you wish your Rane product to be serviced at the factory, it must be shipped fully insured, in the original packing box or equivalent.
This warranty will not cover repairs on products damaged through improper packaging. If possible, avoid sending products through the
mail. Be sure to include in the package:
1. Complete return street shipping address (P.O. Box numbers are not acceptable).
2. A detailed description of any problems experienced, including the make and model numbers of any other system equipment.
3. Remote power supply, if applicable.
Repaired products purchased in the U.S. will be returned prepaid freight via the same method they were sent to Rane. Products purchased
in the USA, but sent to the factory from outside the USA must include return freight funds, and the sender is fully responsible for all
customs procedures, duties, tariffs and deposits.
In order to qualify for Rane’s one year extended warranty (for a total of 3
years parts and labor), the warranty must be completely filled out and sent to
us immediately. Valid in USA only.
We recommend you write your serial number here in your owners
manual and on your sales receipt for your records.
