User manual RANE MP 2016

[. . . ] OPERATORS MANUAL MP 2016 ROTARY DJ MIXER QUICK START The MP 2016 is not a UREI!The MP 2016 has many features absent in the 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. [. . . ] Use resistors of 300 to 600 ohms in series with each output for mono applications, although this significantly reduces output power. Manual-3 REAR PANEL INPUTS & OUTPUTS MIC 1, MIC 2 XLR jacks The MIC 1 Input provides a dedicated balanced preamplifier for Input Channel 5, while MIC 2 provides the preamplifier for Input Channels 6. Each of these preamplifiers features GAIN trim with BASS and TREBLE tone controls. MIC/LINE switches These select MIC or LINE mode for the MIC Inputs. In MIC mode, the gain range is 20 to 50 dB. In LINE mode, the gain range is 0 to 30 dB. In addition to setting the proper gain range for MIC or LINE level Inputs, these switches also select the proper Input impedance. MIC GAIN trim These controls adjust the preamplifier for optimum dynamic range. Each has a range of 30 dB, allowing a wide range of sources to be used. To properly set this control, set the associated front panel INPUT GAIN to "10", turn the MIC ENGAGE switch on and adjust the MIC GAIN so that the input SIG/OL indicator flashes red only during very loud peaks. The front panel INPUT GAIN control can then be adjusted as required according to the instruction outlined above under INPUT GAIN control. MIC TREBLE and BASS controls Separate TREBLE and BASS tone controls are provided for each MIC preamplifier. 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. Each may operate in RIAA PHONO or LINE mode. PHONO/LINE switches These switches set Input Channel preamplifiers 1-4 for PHONO or LINE mode. Make certain these switches are set correctly for your source. 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. [. . . ] CHANNEL 1-6 MID Allows adjusting the amplitude of frequencies between 300 Hz and 4 kHz from +10 dB to OFF (full kill). CHANNEL 1-6 BASS Allows adjusting the amplitude of frequencies below 300 Hz from +10 dB to OFF (full kill). CHANNEL 1-6 A/POST/B assign These switches assign each of the six input channels to the A side of the Crossfader, B side of the Crossfader or POST Crossfader CROSSFADER This implements using Ranes' proprietary Active CrossfaderTM design. All audio is isolated from the control element, greatly extending the life and performance of the control. [. . . ]
