    LEVEL control. Because all signals are identical, you may use either of these outputs as the “Main” output if a different cable type is required to your amplifiers. Rane recommends balanced ¼˝ TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) cables for the strongest signal and rejection of hum and noise. If your cable to the destination is less than 10 feet (3 meters), you can often get away with an unbalanced cable.

  • Page 12: Usb Audio

    There are six stereo record channels and four stereo playback channels, plus a stereo channel for effects send from the mixer. Rane ASIO and Core Audio drivers allow the Sixty-One to act as a 12-record 8-playback USB sound card for use with Serato DJ and other popular DJ and DAW programs. These drivers are multi-client, meaning they allow multiple applications on a computer to share the device at the same time.

    Left / Right PAN controls adjust the balance of left and right signals. Left and right are equal at 12 o’clock. Tone Controls HIGH, MID and LOW full-cut tone controls adjust the frequency response from off to +6 dB. Unity gain (no boost or cut) is at 12 o’clock. SIXTY-ONE...

  • Page 16: Flexfx

    OWNER’S MANUAL FlexFx The FlexFx Bus in the Sixty-One works differently than a typical effects insert loop. This architecture is very flexible and opens up many new possibilities not possible with simple effect insert designs found on other mixers. The FlexFx Bus is more like an auxiliary bus that can have multiple signals assigned to it. Signals assigned to the bus may then have external analog effects and external USB effects applied in any combination.

  • Page 17: Rane Drivers

    OWNER’S MANUAL Rane Drivers The Serato DJ installer includes Core Audio (Mac) and ASIO (PC) drivers that allow your Rane Sixty-One to use other popular DJ and DAW audio applications. Once installed, you will have the option to select the Sixty-One’s inputs and outputs in the audio settings of these programs.

    Another method is to match the level of a CD on another input. • Filter Resonance: Each channel of the Sixty-One has a Filter knob that provides both High- and Low- Cut filtering. Filter resonance controls the “peak” of the filter cutoff frequency. The Low setting provides the smoothest Filter without adding gain.

  • Page 23: Magnetic Fader Maintenance

    OWNER’S MANUAL Magnetic Fader Maintenance The faders and crossfader in the Sixty-One are designed with materials highly resistant to corrosion and most chemicals. While they will handle millions of operations, they may become dirty over time. Bad things may be spilled into a fader, but in many instances the fader may not be damaged and the sound quality thus unaffected.

  • Page 24: Fader Calibration

    CUE lights flash three times, the sensors may have moved too far, or the faders knobs may not have all been centered, and the faders cannot correctly calibrate. Problems? Contact Rane Corporation customer service at 425-355-6000 or email us at info@rane.com. Online help is available at dj.rane.com.
