AM1
PATENT NO. 8,542,849
RANE CORPORATION
100-240V
50/60 Hz
13 WATTS

1 AC Power IEC input accepts electrons to power up the AM1. Though it is first in this list, it's best to connect it last.
2 FAULT indicator lights when something goes awry.
LOCATE indicator flashes when toggled from the Mongoose Tracker or Halogen software. When using multiple AM1 devices in
a Rane Mongoose or HAL system, this uniquely identifies a specific AM1.
USB indicator lights when a Windows or Apple operating system recognizes the AM1 as a stereo I/O sound card.
POWER indicator glows when flowing electrons pass in and out of the AC Power IEC input.
3 USB AUDIO connector allows simultaneous 16-bit, 48 kHz playback and recording via a computer. The AM1 registers as a
standard sound card with either Windows or Apple operating systems.
4 CASCADE IN port permits adding up to 56 more microphones to the AM1's 4 mic inputs using up to 7 Rane AM2 automixers,
sold separately. Use shielded Ethernet CAT 5e cable connected from the AM2's Cascade Out.
5 RAD PORT connects to either a Rane HAL or Mongoose Remote Audio Device port to transport the single-channel, Main Mix
of the AM1 to Rane's expandable DSP or to a CobraNet network, respectively.
6 CASCADE IN & RAD PORT status indicators prove that proper cable termination and device configuring has occurred when all
four indicators illuminate. If any of these are off or flashing, a configuration or wiring error is the culprit.
7 MAIN OUTPUT XLR connector contains the main mix of all mics, Aux 1, Aux 2 and USB Audio input signals. The front panel
Output Level control adjusts the level exiting this jack.
MIC/LINE Output switch changes this Main XLR Output to mic-level, for feeding the output mix to a mic input device; or
line-level for feeding line-level input devices.
8 RECORD Output RCA jacks contain the same audio mix as the Main Output. The signal is not affected by the Output Level
control.
9 USB CHARGE-ONLY port powers and charges many USB devices such as iPods®.
0 AUX INPUT 2 stereo 3.5 mm jack is internally monoed immediately and useful for connecting MP3 players of all kinds.
q AUX INPUT 1 dual RCA jacks are internally monoed immediately and enjoy being fed audio from CD, DVD, 8-Track tape
players, reel-to-reel machines, docking stations or iPhone®, iPod® or iPad® headphone jacks.
w MIC INPUTS 1 thru 4 accept dynamic or condenser microphones, or the output of a wireless microphone receiver. These inputs
are optimized for speech and have a fixed 80 Hz low-cut and 7 kHz high-cut filter. Both filters are 2nd-order Butterworth filters.
e 3-position switches support:
MIC +48V phantom power Mic position for condenser mics.
MIC +0V Mic position for dynamic mics.
WIRELESS MIC position intended for wireless mic receiver outputs.
