OPERATING / SERVICE MANUAL DMS 22

DUAL MICROPHONE STAGE

QUICK START

Even if you don’t like to read manuals read this part. We’ll make it quick and painless. We promise. Damage to your

equipment, though unlikely, is a possibility if the DMS 22 is used improperly.

Turn both INPUT GAIN controls, both OUTPUT LEVEL controls and the STEREO OUTPUT LEVEL control

fully counterclockwise (CCW). Connect your mic(s) to the INPUT jack(s) located on the rear of the unit. If your mic(s)

require phantom power press the 48V PHANTOM POWER switch(es) on the front panel. Set the EQ switch to OUT.

Decision time: will you use the DMS 22 to mix your mic(s) to a two channel feed? If the answer is yes, connect the

STEREO OUTPUT(s) (XLR) located on the rear of the unit to a line level input on your mixer. If the answer is no,

connect the CHANNEL OUTPUT(s) (¼" TRS) to a line level input on your mixer. If you are using the STEREO

OUTPUT(s) of the DMS 22 then engage the PAN switch(es) and set the PAN controls where you want them. Plug the

included power supply (see note below) into the DMS 22. The yellow POWER LED should light and if Phantom Power is

being used the red PHANTOM POWER LED should be lit. Now whisper, yell or scream into your mic the loudest sound

you expect to deliver during your session or performance. While doing this adjust the INPUT GAIN control so that the

loudest whisper, yell or scream will just barely illuminate the OL LED. With that done you can adjust both OUTPUT

LEVEL controls and the STEREO OUTPUT LEVEL until the desired input level is reached.

Never connect anything except an approved Rane power supply ot the thing that looks like a red telephone jack on

the rear of the DMS 22. This is an AC input and requires special attention if you do not have an operational power supply

exactly like the one originally packed with your unit. See the full explanation of the power supply requirements elsewhere

in this manual.

WEAR PARTS: This product contains no wear parts.

DMS 22 CONNECTION

When connecting the DMS 22 to other components in

your system 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 DMS 22 are balanced. This means that

standard XLR connectors on the ends of any good quality

cable will work well with the DMS 22 and microphones of

your choosing. As with all Rane products, pin 2 is used for

“hot” or “+” polarity, pin 3 is “return” or “–” and pin 1 is

chassis ground. If you are not using Phantom Power you may

use either pin 1 or case for shield ground on the DMS 22

Input. However, if you are using Phantom Power, pin 1 must

be shield ground to provide a complete electrical circuit. (See

RaneNote 110, “Sound System Interconnection” included in

this manual for further information on this subject).

OUTPUTS on the DMS 22 are all fully balanced. On

these Outputs pin 2 or tip is “hot” or “+”, pin 3 or ring is

“return” or “–” and pin 1 or sleeve is chassis ground. If an

unbalanced Output is desired do not short pin 3 or ring to

ground. Instead use a XLR connector or ¼" TRS (depending

on the output you are using) and do not connect pin 1 or the

sleeve of the ¼" TRS connector. Again, see RaneNote 110 for

more details.
