CONNECTING THE
MIXER

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 / 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
rane.com for cable wiring recommendations.
