Sixty-
One Mixer
Overview
Power Supply
The Sixty-One features an internal
universal switching power supply that
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 which is
usually readily available. The universal
supply is a major plus for the traveling
DJ.
Leave the power unplugged until
everything else is connected!
Analog Inputs
Four Phono / CD inputs are provided
by RCA jacks. These may be set for PH
or CD using rear panel slide switches.
Analog inputs 1 and 2 are used by
Program 1 (PGM 1). Analog inputs 3
and 4 are used by Program 2 (PGM 2).
Analog input 1 or 2 may be selected in
Scratch Live software as the Digital Vinyl
Simulation (DVS) signal for the Left Virtual
Deck or for recording on USB stereo pair
5-6. Analog input 3 or 4 may be selected
in software as the DVS signal for the Right
Virtual Deck or for recording on USB
stereo pair 7-8. Set any unused inputs to
CD. Connect your turntable ground wires
to the ground posts provided on the rear
panel when using PH inputs.
One stereo Session Input is available
on a pair of RCA jacks. This input may
connect two mixers together, or as a
general purpose auxiliary input.
The Mic Input will accept an XLR
3-pin plug, a balanced ¼˝ TRS (tip-ring-
sleeve) plug or an unbalanced ¼˝ TS
(tip-sleeve) plug. This input may be set for
Microphone or Line level using the Mic /
Connecting
the Mixer
Line switch on the rear panel. Set this to
Line when connecting a wireless receiver.
A stereo FlexFx Loop Return input
is from a pair of unbalanced ¼˝ TS
jacks. These inputs are automatically
configured for mono when only one cable
is connected to the Left or Right Return
input. The FlexFx Return input is normally
used in conjunction with the FlexFx Send
output to connect an outboard analog
effects processor.
Analog Outputs
There are four stereo analog outputs on
the mixer: Main Out, Session Out, FlexFx
Send and Headphone Monitor.
•
Main Out
is on a pair of balanced ¼˝
TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) jacks.
•
Session Out
is on a pair of unbalanced
RCA jacks.
•
FlexFx Loop Send
output is on a pair
of unbalanced ¼˝ inch TS jacks. For a
mono FlexFx Send, use the
Left
output.
The FlexFx Send output is normally
used in conjunction with the FlexFx
Loop Return input to connect outboard
effects.
•
Headphones
output is available on both
¼˝ TRS and 3.5 mm jacks.
The Main and Session outputs come
from the same “Main Mix” signal. Main
and Session outputs each have their own
Level control. Because these signals are
identical, you may use either of these
outputs as the “Main” output if the
other cable type is required for system
connection.
That said, Rane recommends balanced
wiring for the strongest signal and
rejection of hum and noise. If your cable
to the destination is less than 10 feet (3
meters), you can often get away with
an unbalanced cable. If the distance is
more, use ¼˝ TRS cables from the Main
Out. See the RaneNote “
Sound System
Interconnection
” at rane.com for cable
wiring recommendations.
