General Description

The Rane MLM 65 Mic/Line Mixer is designed for easy manual
mixing of up to 6 mic/line inputs and playback of one of several
stereo audio sources, including modern USB audio and old
school vinyl. Simultaneous digital audio recording of the manual
mix to S/PDIF, TOSLINK and/or USB audio provides a formi-
dable mixing ally in today's audio world. The MLM 65 features
and topology are simple for non-technical operators, and it's
dedicated USB Charge port supports the kids' MP3 players.
The MLM 65 provides 6 manually mixed mic/line XLR
inputs each with a front panel Pan and Level control, plus a win-
dow slot atop each input for installer-created labels. These inputs
also have independent rear panel screw-driver Gain trims, Over-
load indicators, 12 volt Phantom Power and Mic/Line switches.
One of six stereo Aux inputs is selectable on the front panel
with a Level fader for the selected source being mixed. A single
large window slot for installer-created Aux source labels makes
operation simple for newbies. The stereo Aux inputs include five
consumer RCA inputs each with screw-driver input gain trim.
The Aux 1 input provides an additional 3.5 mm stereo TRS jack
and an adjacent dedicated USB Charge port for an iPod or other
USB-powered audio device.
For audio sources requiring diamond needles drug through
the spiral-grooved black lacquer discs of yore, the Aux 4 input's

phono/line switch satisfies those addicted to the warm even-order
harmonic distortion of phono cartridges. A large phono ground
post is nearby for added sheen.
The sixth Aux input enters via the USB Audio port. The
MLM 65 registers as a standard USB audio device with either
Windows® or Apple® operating systems, and both incoming and
outgoing audio is stereo 16-bit, 48 kHz PCM. This accommo-
dates pristine, far-beyond-CD-quality playback of audio from
dozens of instantly compatible laptop software programs.
The front panel Headphone outputs on 1/4" and 3.5 mm
TRS jacks have a dedicated meter with peak hold, rotary Level
control and are fed audio from the selected/illuminated Cue but-
ton. Stereo headphone cueing of any mic, the selected Aux input
or the Main mix is supported.
The Main Level fader and meter with peak hold on the front
affects only the Main stereo XLR Outputs which sport a Mono
switch. The stereo Record RCA outputs with screw-driver adjust-
able attenuator provide a local analog output for recording to
MP3 players or nearby camcorders.
The three digital audio outputs of the mix are 24-bit / 48
kHz S/PDIF and TOSLINK, and 16-bit / 48 kHz USB audio.
The same laptop can simultaneously playback and record via
USB.
