Rane Sixty-Eight

The Rane Sixty-Eight:

Introducing the first professional DJ mixer with two USB 2.0 High Speed ports with support for real-time connection of two computers. Two DJs can work in parallel and/or seamlessly transition from one DJ to another. The Sixty-Eight Mixer has so many controls, you might not know where to start. Taking the mixer one section at a time, it's easier to comprehend. Click on the image above to open an interactive page showing each section and the controls within it.

The FlexFx Mix Level controls the level of the FlexFx signal going to the Main Mix. The Contour Control for the PGM Faders affects all four channel faders. The Contour Control for the Crossfader has a separate adjustment. Both 1/4" and 3.5mm headphone jacks are ready to plug into. The Fader section is easily removed for cleaning or replacement.

PGM Inputs 1-4
The Sixty-Eight has four stereo analog inputs for PGM 1 through PGM 4. Any of these analog inputs may be set for Phono Input, Line Input or S/PDIF using the P - L - S switches on the rear panel. Any of the four analog inputs may be used for Scratch Live vinyl emulation control. Input 1 or Input 2 may be selected for Scratch Live Virtual Deck 1 control. Input 3 or 4 may be selected for Scratch Live Virtual Deck 2 control. Control input sources are selected in Scratch Live.

Mic Inputs
The Mic Inputs accept an XLR or a balanced or unbalanced 1/4" plug. Mic 1 has a switchable phantom power option, and Mic 2 has a switchable line level option.

Analog Outputs
All analog outputs come from the same “Main Mix” signal. Main, Booth and Session outputs each have their own Level control. The Main output is on balanced XLR jacks. The Booth output is on balanced 1/4˝ TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) jacks, though unbalanced TS (tip-sleeve) plugs may be used. The Session output is on regular unbalanced RCA jacks. Because all signals are identical, users may use any of these outputs as the “main” output if a different cable type is required for connection.
