Rane HC 4 2001 version - Manual (Page 3)

Manual-3
PHONE Output jacks
These stereo ¼" TRS jacks accept
standard ¼" TRS stereo headphone
plugs.
POWER switch and LED
Your basic, straightforward power switch.
When the yellow LED is lit, the HC 4 is ready
to go.
Individual LEVEL controls
These control the volume for each
set of headphones as they are driven
from the INPUTS. It’s always a good
idea to keep this control turned down
before plugging in a pair of phones,
then turn it up slowly.
INPUT jacks
These are automatic balanced/
unbalanced Inputs, which accept either
a ¼" TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) plug for
balanced operation, or a ¼" TS (Tip-
Sleeve) plug for unbalanced operation.
A balanced line is best when connect-
ing a cable over 10 feet in length. You
do nothing different when hooking up
balanced or unbalanced lines. The HC 4
is one smart animal.
HC 4 CONNECTION
With the power switch in the off (out) position, plug the power cord into the
appropriate AC power source indicated on the rear panel. Locate the power supply
case away from the HC 4 and other hum sensitive equipment.
Begin with all LEVEL controls counterclockwise at “0”. Plug the outputs from
a mono or stereo source into the INPUTS.
See the Sound System Interconnection RaneNote later in this manual for more
information on proper cable wiring between devices.
