IMPORTANT NOTE
CHASSIS GROUNDING
Units with outboard power supplies do not ground the
chassis through the line cord. Make sure that these units are
grounded either to another chassis which is earth grounded,
or directly to the grounding screw on an AC outlet cover by
means of a wire connected to the chassis grounding screw.
Figure . Dual Mono to Stereo TRS Wye Cable.
See 2 above.
1 MASTER INPUTS 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 mono operation. You do nothing different when hooking up balanced or unbalanced
lines. The HC 6 is one smart dude. He knows what you are doing so you better watch out.
2 Direct Stereo INs allow each stage to be driven separately, from any source. Whenever a plug is inserted into one of these Inputs,
the MASTER INPUTS are disconnected from that stage (and only that stage). I told you the dude be smart!
These are ¼" TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) Input jacks, each accepting both left and right channels. If you plug a regular TS (tip-
sleeve) into this jack, you will only connect the left channel. If you want to feed this input with an unbalanced mono signal, use
a TRS plug and wire the tip and ring together. When using balanced mono sources, set the internal jumpers as shown on page
Manual-4.
To build a cable that will transfer separate left and right cables to a single ¼" TRS, follow the diagram below, connecting all
shields. RCA connectors can be substituted for the ¼" connectors.
3 Stereo Headphone OUTs allow any headphone with an impedance from 32 to 600 Ω. Then kick back and enjoy. (Lower and
higher impedance headphones may be used; they just won’t be very loud.
4 Remote POWER supply input. The unit is supplied from the factory with a Model RS 1 remote power supply suitable for con-
nection to this input jack. The power requirements of the unit call for an 18 volt AC center-tapped transformer only. This is not
a telephone jack. Never use a power supply with your unit other than the one supplied or a replacement approved by Rane Corporation.
Using any other type of supply may damage the unit and void the warranty.
5 Chassis ground point. A #6-32 screw used for chassis grounding purposes. See the CHASSIS GROUNDING note below.
