HC 6
HEADPHONE CONSOLE
OPERATORS MANUAL
QUICK START
Okay, youre in a hurry. Well this sections just for you. It explains enough of the HC 6s workings to keep you out of
trouble. It allows operation without reading the whole manual. Please read at least this section to ensure reasonable opera-
tion of the unit.
The HC 6 operates from either a common stereo or mono source, or from individual stereo sources. For a common
stereo source, plug the left and right input plugs into the respective MASTER INPUTS jacks. The Inputs accept balanced
or unbalanced sources. Just plug them in. This source is now routed to each of the six input Channels to drive all Outputs.
STEREO/MONO switch. Set the overall input level with the MASTER CONTROL, and use the CHANNEL LEVEL
controls for individual headphone levels.
Use the separate stereo IN jacks when driving a pair of headphones with different program material than what is on the
MASTER INPUTS. Connecting a plug into these jacks automatically disconnects that Channel from the Master Input
program material.
Never connect anything except a Rane power supply to the thing that looks like a telephone jack on the rear of the
unit. This is an AC input and requires special attention if you do not have a power supply exactly like the one originally
packed with your unit. See the full explanation of the power supply requirements elsewhere in this manual.
HC 6 CONNECTION
When first connecting the HC 6 to other components,
leave the power supply for last. This gives you a chance to
make mistakes and correct them without damage.
1. With the power switch in the off position, plug the power
supply line cord into the appropriate AC power source
indicated on the rear panel. Locate the power supply away
from the HC 6 and other hum sensitive equipment.
2. Plug the outputs from a mono or stereo source into the
MASTER INPUTS. For unbalanced systems use a standard
¼" mono patch cord. For balanced operation, use a stereo
¼" TRS connector with pin 2 (+) wired to the Tip; pin 3 ()
wired to the Ring; and pin 1 (ground) wired to the Sleeve.
Please consult Rane Note 110 (enclosed) for additional
wiring arrangements.
3. When rack mounting the HC 6, you may wish to perma-
nently wire the rear headphone Outputs to remote jack
locations, such as in walls of a studio or other rooms. Use
the front panel Outputs for local or control room monitoring.
4. You might also consider wiring the six direct stereo INs
permanently to a patch bay or monitor mixer, but only if
you do not plan to use the MASTER INPUTS as well.
Whenever a plug is inserted into any individual stereo IN,
the MASTER INPUTS are bypassed for that particular
Channel. So for maximum flexibility, it is suggested that
only the MASTER INPUTs be permanently wired and that
the direct stereo INs be patched as necessary during regular
use.
5. The HC 6 may be installed into any rack which utilizes EIA
standard mounting hole spaces. The front panel of the HC
6 is heavy gauge steel, which adequately supports the unit.
For portable rack mounting, where extreme vibration and/
or shock is anticipated, it is recommended that the rear of
the HC 6, along with any other heavy product in the rack,
be stabilized to prevent possible damage to the chassis
should the rack be dropped, beamed up, or spindled.
WEAR PARTS: This product contains no wear parts.

FRONT PANEL DESCRIPTION
POWER switch. Your basic, straightforward power switch. When the yellow LED is lit, the HC 6 is ready to go.
Front panel PHONE Output jacks are in parallel with the rear panel stereo Output jacks. Use them to monitor any of the
six Channels for level or mix adjustments, or for easy access when the HC 6 is rack mounted. Plugging into these front jacks
does not disengage the rear Outputs.
Individual LEVEL controls set the volume for each set of headphones, regardless of whether they are driven from the
MASTER INPUTS or from the direct stereo INs. When using the front and rear panel headphone jacks together, this control
varies the level of each headphone simultaneously.
SIGNAL PRESENT indicators light (green) with any input signal above -20 dBu. See OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
(on page Manual-4) for additional details.
STEREO/MONO switch converts the MASTER INPUTS from stereo to mono so that a single input cable drives both sides
of the headphones.
MASTER CONTROL sets the volume simultaneously to all headphones driven from the MASTER INPUTS. This does not
alter the volume on any headphones driven from the direct stereo INs.

IMPORTANT NOTE
CHASSIS GROUNDING
Units with outboard power supplies do not ground the
chassis through the line cord. Make sure that these units
are grounded either to another chassis which is earth
grounded, or directly to the grounding screw on an AC
outlet cover by means of a wire connected to the chassis
grounding screw.
Figure 1. Dual Mono to Stereo TRS Wye Cable.
See Above, Direct Stereo INPUTS.
MASTER INPUTS are automatic balanced/unbalanced Inputs, which accept either a stereo ¼" plug for balanced operation,
or a mono ¼" plug for mono operation. You do nothing different when hooking up balanced or unbalanced lines. The HC 6
is one smart dude. He knows what you are doing so you better watch out.
Direct stereo INPUTS allow each stage to be driven separately, from any source. Whenever a plug is inserted into one of
these Inputs, the MASTER INPUTS are disconnected from that stage (and only that stage). I told you the dude be smart!
These are ¼" TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) Input jacks, each accepting both left and right channels. If you plug a regular mono
TS (tip-sleeve) into this jack, you will only connect the left channel. If you want to feed this input with an unbalanced mono
signal, use a TRS plug and wire the tip and ring together. When using balanced mono sources please consult the factory for
the required modification. Hint: this can be accomplished by moving theinternal jumpers by the input jacks as shown on the
assembly diagram.
To build a cable that will transfer separate left and right cables to a single ¼" TRS, follow the diagram below, connect-
ing all shields. RCA connectors can be substituted for the ¼" connectors.
Stereo headphone OUTPUTS allow any headphone with an impedance from 32 to 600 ohms. Then kick back and enjoy.
(Lower and higher impedance headphones may be used; they just wont be very loud. Refer to RaneNote 100, Understand-
ing Headphone Power Requirements for headphone loudness listings.)
Remote POWER supply input. The unit is supplied from the factory with a Model RS 1 remote power supply suitable for
connection to this input jack. The power requirements of the unit call for an 18 volt AC center-tapped transformer only. This
is not a telephone jack. Never use a power supply with your unit other than the one supplied or a replacement approved by
Rane Corporation. Using any other type of supply may damage the unit and void the warranty.
Chassis ground point. A #6-32 screw used for chassis grounding purposes. See the CHASSIS GROUNDING note below.
