CASCADE OUT / RAD PORT

This port functions as a CASCADE OUT port when con-

nected to the CASCADE IN port of a Rane AM1 or AM2 (sold 

separately). Connect the CASCADE OUT port of an AM2 to 

the CASCADE IN port of another automixer, to add it’s Mic 

Inputs and all upstream inputs into the automatic gain-sharing 

mix of the downstream mixer. When cascaded, the signal on 

the CASCADE OUT port is 

unaffected

 by the gray OUTPUT 

LEVEL control.

This port functions as a RAD Port when connected to a 

Rane Mongoose (sold separately). The RAD port contains a 

Rane-specific digital audio transport protocol allowing audio 

delivery to a CobraNet™ digital audio network or another Re-

mote Audio Device via a Rane Mongoose. The audio exiting the 

RAD port contains the Main Mix and is 

attenuated

 by the gray 

OUTPUT LEVEL control.

For inquisitive technophiles, RAD Port audio is 24-bit, 

48 kHz, fixed-point.

RAD PORT Status indicators are defined below:

AUDIO Tx

 LED – lights green when audio is received by a 

Mongoose or AM2. If this indicator is off, either the cable is 

bad, or there is a communications error between the devices 

(see COMM LED below).

AUDIO Rx

 LED – lights green when the RAD Port successfully 

receives audio from the Mongoose or cascaded AM2. If this 

indicator is off, you may have a bad cable, or the device at the 

other end of the cable is not powered or connected.

COMM

 LED – lights green when communication is established 

between the Mongoose or a cascaded AM1 or AM2. This 

indicator turns off if the RAD Port cannot communcate with 
the other device for some reason – likely due to a faulty cable.

POWER

 LED – lights green when the RAD Port is receiving 24 

volt power from the Mongoose or cascaded device. This also 

indicates that the twisted pair for power within the cable is 

wired and crimped properly. If the Power LED is off and the 

other end of the cable is plugged into a powered device, there 
is a problem with the cable.
