OPERATING / SERVICE MANUAL QUICK START No one likes to read manuals. Most like to plug in and turn on. That's usually OK, and with only a very few exceptions, damage is unlikely to result from such procedures with the FMI 14. First, determine if the input is to be microphone or line and set the MIC/LINE select switch accordingly. If a microphone is to be used which requires phantom power, set the PHANTOM POWER switch to its ON position. With the SENDS and MASTER levels all the way down, set the PAD and GAIN controls so that the highest input will not illuminate the overload light. If the SENDS are to be used, set the Aux Send selector switches to the desired position. Adjust the A and B MASTER output levels to deliver the required amount of signal to the bus and direct outputs. NEVER CONNECT ANYTHING EXCEPT AN APPROVED RANE POWER SUPPLY TO THE THING THAT LOOKS LIKE A TELEPHONE JACK ON THE REAR OF THE FMI 14. This is an AC input and requires special attention if you do not have an operational power supply EXACTLY like the one that was originally packed with your unit. See the full explanation of the power supply requirements elsewhere in this manual. FMI 14 MIXER INPUT SYSTEM CONNECTION When connecting the FMI 14 to other components in your system for the first time, leave the power supply for last. This will give you a chance to make mistakes and correct them before any damage is done to your fragile speakers, ears and nerves. INPUTS on the FMI 14 are balanced. This means that standard 3-pin (XLR) connectors on the ends of any good quality cable will work well with the FMI 14 and microphones of your choosing. As with all Rane products, pin 2 is used for "hot" or "+" signal polarity, pin 3 is "return" or "-" and pin 1 is signal ground. If you are using the ј" TRS line input, tip is hot, ring is return and sleeve is ground. For unbalanced inputs, drive pin 2 or tip as hot and pin 1 or sleeve as ground. It is not necessary to short pin 3 or ring to ground on Flex series microphone inputs. It will not hurt anything, either. You may use either pin 1 or case for shield ground on the 3-pin input. (See Rane Note 110 for further information on this subject). OUTPUTS. The FMI 14's Master outputs are balanced. The Aux outputs are unbalanced. On the balanced outputs, tip is hot, ring is return and sleeve is ground. If unbalanced output is required, use only a tip-ring-sleeve connector and leave the ring unterminated. A "mono" type ј" (tip and sleeve only) connector may be used on the Aux outputs. They are unbalanced only and require no special attention. Again, have a look at Rane Note 110 for more detail. BUS OUTPUTS. The 7-pin DIN Bus input and output may be used only with other Flex modules. These are not MIDI inputs and outputs. A detailed explanation of the wiring in these connectors is not necessary. The only thing the user must know is that only a DIN cable as supplied with each module from the factory should be used.
