Rane MM 12 - Manual (Page 5)

III. INSTALLATION
This section provides simplified diagrams indicating recommended wiring configurations for
installation of the MM 12 into your sound reinforcement system. There are, of course, many
other applications or configurations in which the MM 12 will work well, and we encourage you
to modify your system to best suit your own particular needs.
DIAGRAM III-l. House Location of MM 12 for
Use by Main Mix Operator
1. Connectthe PATCH OUTPUTS of the MM 12 to the respective MIC or LINE
inputs of the main mixer; use two-conductor shielded microphone cable with
female three-pin connectors on the MM 12 end and male three-pin connec-
tors or 1/4" plugs as necessary on the main mixer end.
2. If you are using a 16 channel main board, bypass the MM 12 as shown with
any instrument which has a stage monitor amp, such as electric guitar, bass,
etc., since these will not need to be in the monitor system. If cable lengths will
permit you may plug these directly into the main mixer, otherwise you will
have to use extender cables as shown.
3. Plug the male connectors from the main snake into the MM 12.
4. You will need to run up to six balanced lines up to the monitor amp rack,
which should be on stage to keep the speaker lines as short as possible. Use a
snake consisting of six shielded pairs, and be sure that the inputs to the monitor
amp rack are BALANCED.
5. Using a STEREO 1/4" patch cord, connect the headphone output of the
main mixer to the MAINS INPUT of the headphone section on the MM 12.
