Mic/Line Inputs
The four XLR jacks provided on the MLM82S are balanced Mic/Line inputs. They will also accept
unbalanced connectors. Use only shielded cable for inputs. For best noise rejection use two-
conductor-plus-shielded wire, even for unbalanced operation. Connect the shield at both ends to
help insure proper grounding. See the Sound System Interconnection RaneNote for all cable
adaptations:

. Rane follows the AES recommended practice of pin 2 positive, pin
3 negative, and pin 1 to shield. Switch any input connected to a microphone to the Mic position (out)
using the associated switches on the rear panel. When connecting line-level signals, switch the input
to the Line position (in). A single phantom power switch is provided for the four Mic inputs. If Line is
selected, phantom power is disabled for that input.
Stereo Line Inputs
The 1/4" connectors are line-level balanced/unbalanced inputs. If the MLM82S is to be used with
unbalanced sources, consult the Sound System Interconnection RaneNote for proper wiring:

. Stereo inputs use both A and B jacks at each input. Inputs 5-8 also serve as
mono inputs when the front panel Mono switch is engaged.
Outputs
The MLM82S’s outputs are balanced. The same wiring conventions as the XLR inputs apply to the
outputs. The type of device following the MLM82S must be considered when setting the internal
Output Level switch. Choose between Line (0 dB) or Mic (-40 dB) output, the factory setting is Line. If
the MLM82S is connected directly to a power amplifier input, choose line-level. If the MLM82S is
connected to a microphone jack on an existing sound system, choose mic-level. For unbalanced
output connections, do not
tie pin 3 (i.e. “–”) to ground.
