Rear Panel
1. AC Power IEC input: Receives power to turn on the AM2. Though it is first in this list, it's best to
connect it last.
2. Status Indicators: Show the state of operation for AM2.
• Fault Indicator: Lights when something goes awry.
• Locate Indicator: Flashes when toggled from the Mongoose Tracker or Halogen software.
When using multiple AM2 devices in a Rane Mongoose or HAL System, this uniquely identifies
a specific AM2.
• USB Indicator: Lights when a Windows or Apple operating system recognizes the AM2 for
firmware updating.
• Power Indicator: Glows when adequate power is received from the AC Power IEC input.
3. USB Data Connector: Allows updating the AM2 firmware should a future need arise. Firmware
updates are made available on the AM2 page at rane.com/am2.
4. Cascade In Port: Permits adding up to 56 more microphones to the AM2's eight mic inputs using
up to seven Rane AM2 automixers, sold separately. Use shielded Ethernet CAT 5e cable (or
better) connected from the AM2's Cascade Out. See the
5. Cascade Out / RAD Port: The Cascade Out Port connects to an AM1 or another AM2's
Cascade In when combining units for more gain-sharing mics. The RAD Port connects to either a
Rane Mongoose or HAL's Remote Audio Device port to transport the single-channel, Main Mix of
the AM2 to a Rane HAL Multiprocessor, or a Rane Mongoose.
6. Mic/Line Output Switch: Changes the Main XLR Output to mic-level for feeding the output mix to
a mic input device, or to line-level for feeding line-level input devices.
7. Main Output XLR Connector: Contains the main mix of all mics from this AM2, and all mics from
preceding AM2s, if they are connected using the Cascade ports. The front panel Output Level
control adjusts the level exiting this jack.
8. 3-position Mic Switches: Set the appropriate gain for condenser, dynamic, and wireless
microphone, as well as selecting phantom power for condenser microphones. Each switch controls
a pair of mic inputs, as indicated by the rear panel grouping of two jacks for one switch.
• Mic +48V: Phantom power mic position for condenser mics.
• Mic +0V: Mic position for dynamic mics.
• Wireless Mic: Position intended for wireless mic receiver outputs.
9. Mic Inputs 1–8: Accept dynamic or condenser microphones, or the output of a wireless
microphone receiver. These inputs are optimized for speech and have a fixed 80 Hz low-cut and 7
kHz high-cut filter. Both filters are 2nd-order Butterworth filters.
