RANE TTM 57SL MIXER FOR SERATO SCRATCH LIVE • OPERATOR’S MANUAL 2.4.4 48
Q. Will I damage the faders if I spray
them with bad stuff or spill bad things
in them?
A. No. The faders in the TTM 57SL are
designed with materials highly resistant to
corrosion and most chemicals. There are
no electrical contacts to clean or damage.
While bad things may change the feel of
the faders, bad things will not affect the
sound. To clean faders that have had a
bad thing put in them, follow the simple
instructions to the right.
Q. Can I install magnetic faders in any
other mixer?
A. Sorry. The connectors may be similar,
but the circuits are very different.
Connecting the faders to anything other
than the intended cable in the TTM 57SL
could permanently damage them.
Q: Can I install other faders in my
TTM 57SL?
A. No. The cable connections are specially
designed for Rane magnetic faders.
Q. Can I install a different magnetic
fader in my mixer or swap the position
of my faders?
A. No. In order to achieve the highest
possible accuracy, each magnetic fader
is factory calibrated for the location in
which it was shipped. For information
about replacement or calibration in the
USA, contact Rane Customer Service. If
you remove the faders for cleaning, make
sure you mark them. This helps you to put
them back in the same location
There are no electrical contacts to
clean!
The faders in the TTM 57SL are designed
with materials highly resistant to corrosion
and most chemicals. While the faders will
handle millions of operations, they may
become dirty over time. Bad things may
be spilled into the faders, but in many
instances the faders may not be damaged
and the sound quality thus unaffected.
Cleaning is only required to maintain the
feel of the faders.
In order to maintain the feel of your
faders, they may occasionally require
cleaning and lubrication. The bearings in
the fader work best with DuPont Teflon
Multi-use Lubricant (part # D00040101).
Make sure to follow the instructions and
warnings on the bottle.
This lubricant goes on wet to deeply
penetrate moving parts, but sets up with a
clean, dry, long-lasting film which will not
attract and absorb dirt and grime. Wet or
oily lubricants may feel good at first, but
will attract dirt and evaporate or become
dry over time.
Never use a heavy lubricant or grease.
Doing so may not damage the faders, but
can affect the feel. If grease was used, it
may be removed by following the cleaning
instructions. Light lubrication is possible
with the Lexan plate on. A couple of drops
or a short spray will do it. Make sure the
products you use are suitable for use with
electrical parts that contain plastic.
