DJ EXPO 2013: Rane Corporation started life in the basement of one of its founders in Washington State, in 1981. The company made its first DJ mixer in 1984 upon request from Richard Long of Richard Long & Associates, who was a famous sound designer for some of the biggest names in disco including Studio 54, Annabels and Regines who wanted his famous X300 crossover redesigned.
This became the X3000A, which was rapidly followed by the Q5000 DJ equalizer. Richard persuaded Rane to research the DJ mixer market, leading to the production of its first DJ mixer the MP24 that went on to become an industry standard.
After creating more DJ products, in 1998 Rane got involved with four talented turntablists who introduced the company to their art and asked them to build their dream mixer. Thanks to Rane's detailed observations of how DJs worked and what would best suit their art, the TTM 54 Performance mixer was born, combining features, control locations, fader feel, dial size and feel, and more.
