CASCADE OUT / RAD PORT
This port functions as a CASCADE OUT port when con-
nected 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 it’s 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 con-
tains a Rane-specific digital audio transport protocol allowing
audio delivery to a HAL Multiprocessor or Mongoose (Co-
braNet™). 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 communcate
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.
