QUICK START
No one likes to read manuals. Everyone likes to just start pushing buttons and turning knobs until the desired results magically
emerge. That’s usually OK, and with a very few exceptions, damage is unlikely to result from such procedures with the SM82S.
This product is quite obvious: Input LEVEL controls make Inputs louder or not, the stereo SENDs make things happen at the
LOOP SEND outputs, and so on. No real magic there. You should be aware, however, that if you want to connect a mono source to
the SM82S, use only the LEFT Input of a channel so that the mono source will drive both the Left and the Right channels.
Set the levels of the mixer so that the red lights stay off. If they come on, you are overdoing it and distortion will result.

1 Input LEVEL controls: are rotary stereo attenuators that adjust the amount of both Left and Right signals applied to an Input.
Outputs are summed for mixing with all other Inputs. The unity gain position of this control is located at “7.5.”
2 Input OverLoad indicators: glow red whenever its corresponding Input’s output exceeds a level 4 dB below clipping, letting you
know it’s a good idea to turn this Input down a bit.
3 Input PAN controls: operate as ‘PAN’ with a mono signal, and ‘BALANCE’ with a stereo signal.
PAN: When a mono input is used (no plug in the RIGHT Input jack), the signal ‘moves’ from the Left to Right channels. At the
“L” extreme top of travel the sound source is heard from the Left output; at the other “R” extreme bottom it is heard only from the
Right output. In the middle, the sound is heard equally from each output, but is reduced in level by 3 dB relative to its original
value. This guarantees that as the sound is panned from one side to the other, it maintains equal loudness (power) for all positions.
BALANCE: In its center detent, Left and Right signals to each channel are allowed to pass at their original relative levels, there-
fore preserving the stereo image from devices connected to both of the Inputs. When the control is moved vertically toward the
“L” position, the Right channel level is decreased while the Left channel level is maintained. The opposite occurs if the control is
moved from the detent down toward the “R”.
4 Input SEND Level controls: determine the amount of Post-Fade stereo Input is fed to the Loop Send buses. Each Input’s stereo
SEND is summed on this bus and is available at the respective LEFT and RIGHT LOOP SENDS on the rear of the mixer.
5 RETURN LEVEL control: is a rotary stereo attenuator that controls the amount of Return which is to be added to the Main
Output. The unity gain position of this control is located at “7.5."
6 RETURN OverLoad indicator: glows red whenever the return levels exceed a level of 4 dB below clipping.
7 RETURN PAN control: is a vertical slider that controls the effect or source connected to the LOOP RETURN in the same way
the Input PAN controls work (see 3 above).
8 OUTPUT LEVEL control: is a rotary stereo attenuator that controls the final signal Level at the main OUTPUT jacks. The
unity gain position of this control is located at “7.5".
9 OUTPUT OverLoad indicator: glows red any time the output level exceeds 4 dB below clipping.
q OUTPUT PAN control: is a vertical slider that operates in the same fashion as the PAN control described in item 3 above. It
however, determines the relative levels of the LEFT and RIGHT MAIN OUTPUTS only.

1 Channel Input jacks: consist of eight pairs of unbalanced ¼" tip-sleeve jacks, used to connect any line-level signal source to the
SM82S. As indicated, only the LEFT is to be used if the Input is mono and should therefore appear in both Left and Right chan-
nels, depending on the position of the front panel PAN control.
2 MAIN EXPAND INPUT: A ¼" TRS stereo Input jack may link two or more SM82Ss together, or accept the output from
another mixer. This may also be used to sum any fixed-level stereo signal into the Main Outputs, producing a ninth stereo Input
when added with 1. A stereo Tip-Ring-Sleeve cable must be used here. The Left input is on the Tip, Right is on the Ring and the
Sleeve is ground.
3 LOOP EXPAND INPUT: Another ¼" TRS stereo Input, expands the stereo Loop buses of two SM82Ss so they share the same
effects loop. A stereo Tip-Ring-Sleeve cable must be used here. Connect the LEFT and RIGHT LOOP SENDS (4) of the first
unit to the LOOP EXPAND INPUT of the second SM82S. (Tip = left; Ring = right.)
4 LOOP SEND: This pair of ¼" jacks may drive an effect or similar device which is to be returned to item 5 below. If a mono
device is used, both the Left and Right Send channels of the SM82S are summed together and presented at the LEFT Output if
nothing is inserted in the RIGHT Output.
5 LOOP RETURN: These ¼" aux returns may connect the output of a reverb or other effect unit to the Loop bus of the SM82S.
If no effect is used, they can be used as a tenth stereo Input to the mixer in addition to those described in 1 and 2. As with the
other stereo Inputs, mono signal may be connected to the LEFT input to obtain two-channel mono operation.
6 MAIN EXPAND OUTPUT: This ¼" TRS stereo (Tip = left, Ring = right) Output jack connects one SM82S to another for the
purpose of expanding the number of Inputs available. Use only a stereo plug in this jack — a mono jack or cable will cause loss of
Right channel signal and possibly distortion to the Left channel. This Output also serves as a fixed pre-fader level useful as record
outputs or other applications. A send/return cable can be ideal for this output to drive a second amplifier or recorder. See the dia-
gram below.
7 Main BALANCED OUTPUT: These balanced Tip-Ring-Sleeve jacks connect the main Outputs of the SM82S to a power am-
plifier or to additional signal processing. As is the AES standard with all Rane balanced outputs using ¼" TRS jacks, the Tip is (+),
the Ring is (–) and the Sleeve is ground.
8 Power connector: The internal universal switching power supply operates on any AC mains 100 to 240 VAC, 50 or 60 Hz (most
places in the world). All that is required when traveling is the appropriate IEC line cord.

one of our most useful references. It’s popularity stems

up audio equipment without suffering through all sorts
• Interfacing balanced & unbalanced of bizarre noises, hums, buzzes, whistles, etc.— not to
mention the extreme financial, physical and psycholog-
• Proper pin connections and wiring ical price. As technology progresses it is inevitable that
electronic equipment and its wiring should be subject
• Chassis ground vs. signal ground to constant improvement. Many things have improved
in the audio industry since 1985, but unfortunately
• Ground lift switches wiring isn’t one of them. However, finally the Audio
Engineering Society (AES) has issued a standards
document for interconnection of pro audio equip-
ment. It is AES48, titled “AES48-2005: AES standard
on interconnections —Grounding and EMC practices
— Shields of connectors in audio equipment containing
active circuitry.”
Rane’s policy is to accommodate rather than dic-
tate. However, this document contains suggestions for
external wiring changes that should ideally only be
implemented by trained technical personnel. Safety
regulations require that all original grounding means
provided from the factory be left intact for safe op-
eration. No guarantee of responsibility for incidental
or consequential damages can be provided. (In other
words, don’t modify cables, or try your own version of
grounding unless you really understand exactly what

RANE CORPORATION WARRANTS ALL RANE PRODUCTS (EXCEPT THOSE ITEMS CLASSIFIED AS WEAR PARTS, AND LISTED ON THE

manufacturer. Rane agrees to supply all parts and labor to repair or replace defects covered by this limited warranty with parts or products of original
or improved design, at its option in each respect, if the defective product is shipped prior to the end of the warranty period to any Rane authorized
warranty repair facility in the U.S. or to the Rane factory in the original packaging or a replacement supplied by Rane, with all transportation costs and
full insurance paid each way by the purchaser or owner.

LIMITED WARRANTY SHALL BE THAT WHICH IS DESCRIBED TO THE ORIGINAL RETAIL PURCHASER BY THE AUTHORIZED
RANE DEALER OR DISTRIBUTOR AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. Rane Corporation does not, however, warrant its products against any and
all defects: 1) arising out of materials or workmanship not provided or furnished by Rane, or 2) resulting from abnormal use of the product or use in
violation of instructions, or 3) in products repaired or serviced by other than authorized Rane repair facilities, or 4) in products with removed or defaced
serial numbers, or 5) in components or parts or products expressly warranted by another manufacturer. Rane agrees, through the applicable authorized
distributor, to repair or replace defects covered by this limited warranty with parts or products of original or improved design, at its option in each respect,

insurance paid each way by the purchaser or owner.
ALL REMEDIES AND THE MEASURE OF DAMAGES ARE LIMITED TO THE ABOVE SERVICES, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT ECONOMIC

ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARISING BY LAW, COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, USAGE

Warranty-1

WARRANTY PROCEDURE - Only Valid in the USA
NOTICE! You must complete and return the warranty card or register your
product online to extend the Warranty from 2 years to 3 years!
TO VALIDATE YOUR EXTENDED WARRANTY: Use the postcard that came in the box with your unit, or go to www.rane.com and
click on New Product Registration. Fill out the warranty completely, being sure to include the model and serial number of the unit
since this is how warranties are tracked. If your Rane product was purchased in the USA, mail the completed card or register online with
to Rane Corporation within 10 days from the date of purchase. If you purchased the product outside the USA you must file your
warranty registration with the Rane Distributor in that country. It is advised that you keep your bill of sale as proof of purchase,
should any difficulties arise concerning the registration of the warranty card. NOTICE: IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO REGISTER IN
ORDER TO RECEIVE RANE CORPORATION’S STANDARD TWO YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY.
WARRANTY REGISTRATION is made and tracked by model and serial numbers only, not by the purchaser’s or owner’s name.
Therefore any warranty correspondence or inquires must include the model and serial number of the product in question. Be sure to fill
in the model and serial number in the space provided below and keep this in a safe place for future reference.
WARRANTY SERVICE MUST BE PERFORMED ONLY BY AN AUTHORIZED RANE SERVICE FACILITY LOCATED IN
THE COUNTRY WHERE THE UNIT WAS PURCHASED, OR (if product was purchased in the USA) AT THE RANE FACTORY
IN THE USA. If the product is being sent to Rane for repair, please call the factory for a Return Authorization number. We recommend
advance notice be given to the repair facility to avoid possible needless shipment in case the problem can be solved over the phone.
UNAUTHORIZED SERVICE PERFORMED ON ANY RANE PRODUCT WILL VOID ITS EXISTING FACTORY WARRANTY.
FACTORY SERVICE
If you wish your Rane product to be serviced at the factory, it must be shipped fully insured, in the original packing box or equivalent.
This warranty will not cover repairs on products damaged through improper packaging. If possible, avoid sending products through the
mail. Be sure to include in the package:
1. Complete return street shipping address (P.O. Box numbers are not acceptable).
2. A detailed description of any problems experienced, including the make and model numbers of any other system equipment.
3. Remote power supply, if applicable.
Repaired products purchased in the U.S. will be returned prepaid freight via the same method they were sent to Rane. Products purchased
in the USA, but sent to the factory from outside the USA must include return freight funds, and the sender is fully responsible for all
customs procedures, duties, tariffs and deposits.
In order to qualify for Rane’s one year extended warranty (for a total of 3
years parts and labor), the warranty must be completely filled out and sent to
us immediately. Valid in USA only.
We recommend you write your serial number here in your owners

manual and on your sales receipt for your records.
