Rane AM1

The Rane AM1 is part gain-sharing automatic Mic Mixer, part manual line Mixer, part USB Audio I/O device, and simultaneously a Rane RAD. Use it as a standalone Mic/line Mixer, add more gain-shared mics using up to seven Rane AM 2 Automixers (sold separately), and/or use the RAD Port to transport the main mix via a Rane Mongoose to a CobraNet network.

Each of the four XLR Mic Inputs offers front panel input Level controls feeding a gain-sharing automatic Mixer. Rear panel, 3-position switches for each Mic Input support Dynamic mics (no Phantom Power), Condenser mics (48 V), wireless receiver outputs (+10 dBu max). A front panel Mic Mix Level control adjusts the Volume of all automixed mics.

The AM1 is optimized for automixing speech. The Mic inputs have a fixed 100 Hz to 7 kHz bandpass Filter to provide the best voice-only automatic Mixing using a gain-sharing algorithm.

Three manually-mixed Audio inputs provide a simple user Interface and installation. The Aux 1 Input dual RCA and Aux 2 3.5 mm jacks are independently monoed, each with a front panel Level control. A dedicated USB Charge port adjacent to Aux 2 provides power to USB devices such as iPods or other USB-powered devices. The separate orange USB Audio Input also offers a front panel Level control for the 16-Bit, 48 kHz Digital Audio that is monoed immediately upon entry.

Signal and Overload indicators monitor the Mic and Aux Inputs, the Mic Mix and the Main Mix. Indicators flank the corresponding Level controls.
