About the RANE TTM 57SL Serato Pro DJ Live 2-Channel Performance Mixer
The RANE TTM 57SL is a landmark professional DJ mixer created in a historic collaboration between Rane and Serato, designed specifically to integrate with Serato Scratch Live software for a seamless digital vinyl system (DVS) experience. This two-channel mixer is built to the highest standards of audio fidelity and tactile control, serving as the central hub for turntablists and DJs who demand studio-quality sound and ultra-responsive performance. Its defining feature is the inclusion of high-resolution, touch-sensitive control platters above each channel strip. These platters replicate the feel of vinyl records, allowing DJs to scratch, cue, and manipulate digital audio files with the same physical intuition and precision as traditional vinyl, while the actual audio is played from a connected computer.
The mixer's architecture is engineered for flawless integration with the Serato ecosystem. It includes built-in, hardware-based analog-to-digital converters that handle the timecode signals from turntables or CDJs, ensuring near-zero latency and rock-solid stability—a critical requirement for precise scratching. Each channel features comprehensive three-band EQ with kill switches, dedicated filter knobs, and multiple input options for phono, line, and digital sources. The mixer also boasts Rane's renowned fader technology, including a crossfader and upfaders known for their smoothness, durability, and adjustable cut-in time, catering to the exacting preferences of scratch DJs and beat jugglers.
Constructed with a heavy-duty metal chassis, the TTM 57SL is built to withstand the rigors of nightly club use and extensive touring. Its layout is intuitive yet deeply functional, placing all critical controls within immediate reach. The mixer operates as both a high-performance analog mixer and the dedicated interface for Serato software, eliminating the need for an external sound card. This all-in-one design, combining pristine analog sound, robust hardware controls, and seamless digital integration, established the TTM 57SL as a benchmark instrument that empowered a generation of DJs to bridge the gap between analog technique and the limitless possibilities of digital music libraries.
