User manual RANE MP 2016

[. . . ] OPERATORS MANUAL MP 2016 ROTARY DJ MIXER QUICK START The MP 2016 is not a UREI!To fully realize all of the benefits provided by these additional features, please read the entire manual. For those of you who should read the manual, but won't, here's the short version. Switches on the rear panel set each preamplifier for LINE or PHONO operation. [. . . ] These allow adjustment of the tonal response of each Mic or Line source at the MIC Inputs. If you add a significant amount of boost, you may need to readjust the rear panel GAIN trims as outlined before. INPUTS 1-4 RCA jacks INPUTS 1-4 provide dedicated preamplifiers for Input Channels 1-4 respectively. PHONO/LINE switches These switches set Input Channel preamplifiers 1-4 for PHONO or LINE mode. PHONO GROUND These lugs are provided to connect ground wires from turntables. When using a turntable, proper grounding is essential. IMPORTANT NOTE CHASSIS GROUNDING If after hooking up your system it exhibits excessive hum or buzzing, there is an incompatibility in the grounding configuration between units somewhere. If your equipment is in a rack, verify that all chassis are tied to a good earth ground, either through the line cord grounding pin or the rack screws to another grounded chassis. This unit's outboard power supply does not ground the chassis through the line cord. Make sure that the unit is 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 a screw on the chassis with a star washer to guarantee proper contact. Please refer to RaneNote "Sound System Interconnection" (supplied with this manual and available on request at no charge separately) for further information on system grounding. Manual-4 EFFECTS LOOP SEND " jacks SEND Outputs are unbalanced standard " tip-sleeve jacks. They provide a line level Output for external signal processing or effects units. If effects are not being used, these outputs may be used as Auxiliary Outputs. EFFECTS LOOP RETURN " jacks RETURN Inputs are unbalanced standard " tip-sleeve jacks. They provide the Input from external signal processing or effects units. Switching jacks are used so there is no loss of signal if the front panel EFFECTS LOOP switch is active with no effects connected. RETURN Inputs are not appropriate for Auxiliary Inputs as this signal is only selected when the front panel EFFECTS LOOP switch is active, at which time Master signal is derived only by the signal present at the RETURN Inputs, the mix signals are disconnected. BOOTH OUTPUT RCA jacks The unbalanced stereo BOOTH OUTPUT is normally used for booth monitoring. As previously outlined, very flexible source selection is provided as well as MIC ducking. Remember, the BOOTH OUTPUT is attenuated by 12 dB whenever one of the front panel MIC ENGAGE switches is active (unless ducking has been defeated with the internal jumper. HOUSE OUTPUT jacks Both balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) jacks are provided. The UNBALANCED outputs are intended for short runs of less than 10 feet (3 meters). POWER jack The power jack receives the cable from the RS 1 power supply shipped with the unit. The chassis ground screw located just above the jack is intended for earth grounding the chassis. [. . . ] The source selectors for Input Channels 5 and 6 may select the dedicated MIC/LINE preamplifier or one of the five stereo AUX inputs as its source. Manual-6 OPTIONAL XP 2016 EXTERNAL PROCESSOR Combining the optional XP 2016 EXTERNAL PROCESSOR with the MP 2016 adds three-band, full-cut, Accelerated-SlopeTM tone controls and A-POST-B Crossfader Assign switches for each of the six Input Channels, high-performance Active-CrossfaderTM, with full-range Contour control and a stereo 10-segment peak dBu Master/Cue Meter with peak hold. With these added features, the system accommodates the diverse needs of virtually all DJ mixing styles. The post MIX LEVEL signals from the MP 2016 are routed to the XP 2016, processed by the tone controls, then assigned to the A side of the fader, B side of the fader or post fader. If the XP 2016 engage switch is active, the MASTER signal gets the XP 2016 mix. [. . . ]
