Cascade Out / Rad Port
This port functions as a Cascade Out port when connected to the Cascade In port of a Rane AM1 or
AM2 (sold separately). Connect the Cascade Out port of an AM2 to the Cascade In port of another
automixer to add its Mic Inputs and all upstream inputs into the automatic gain-sharing mix of the
downstream mixer. When cascaded, the signal on the Cascade Out port is unaffected by the gray
Output Level control.
This port functions as a RAD Port when connected to a Rane Mongoose or HAL (sold separately).
The RAD port contains a Rane-specific digital audio transport protocol allowing audio delivery to a
HAL Multiprocessor or Mongoose (CobraNet™). The audio exiting the RAD port contains the Main Mix
and is attenuated by the gray Output Level control.
For inquisitive technophiles, RAD Port audio is 24-bit, 48 kHz, fixed-point.
RAD Port Status Indicators are defined below:
• Audio TX LED: Lights green when audio is received by a Mongoose, HAL or AM2. If this indicator
is off, either the cable is bad, or there is a communications error between the devices (see Comm
LED below).
• Audio RX LED: Lights green when the RAD Port successfully receives audio from the Mongoose,
HAL or cascaded AM2. If this indicator is off, you may have a bad cable, or the device at the other
end of the cable is not powered or connected.
• Comm LED: Lights green when communication is established between the Mongoose, HAL or a
cascaded AM1 or AM2. This indicator turns off if the RAD Port cannot communicate with the other
device for some reason—likely due to a faulty cable.
• Power LED: Lights green when the RAD Port is receiving 24-volt power from the Mongoose, HAL
or cascaded device. This also indicates that the twisted pair for power within the cable is wired and
crimped properly. If the Power LED is off and the other end of the cable is plugged into a powered
device, there is a problem with the cable.
