 Meter and Mode switch:

 This peak-dBu reading meter displays one of two modes, depending on the switch position. In

the 

out

 position, the meter indicates the stereo level in LEFT and RIGHT Main Output. In the 

in

 position, mono CUE level is

displayed on the LEFT side and mono PROGRAM level is displayed on the RIGHT side.

13. 

MASTER LEVEL fader:

 This control determines the output level at the Main Outputs.

14. 

AUX OUT LEVEL control:

 This control adjusts the level of the Aux Output signal.

15. 

AUX IN LEVEL control:

 This control adjusts the level of an Auxiliary input.

16. 

AUX INPUT:

 This stereo pair of RCA connectors is an extra line level input which sums with other signals before the

Master Level controls.

17. 

AUX OUTPUT:

 This stereo pair of RCA connectors provides an extra line level output mix. This is the same signal as the

Main Outputs.

18.

 CUE switches:

 Pressing 

in

 any or all of the CUE pushbuttons routes the respective channel signal to the Headphone and

Meter Cue sections. The adjacent yellow indicator illuminates when the switch is depressed.

19 

HEADPHONE PAN control:

 This control adjusts the relative levels of Cue and Master signals mixed together in stereo for

the headphones. Counterclockwise rotation increases the amount of Cue signal; clockwise rotation increases the amount of
Master signal.

20. 

HEADPHONE LEVEL control:

 This control adjusts the volume for the headphones as they are driven from the Master

and Cue signals.

21. 

HEADPHONE Output jack:

 This stereo ¼" TRS jack accepts ¼" TRS stereo headphone plugs (do 

not 

use mono plugs).

22. 

POWER “ON” indicator:

 When the yellow LED is lit, the MM 8x is ready to go.

Fader Care:

With heavy use in harsh environments, the faders may need lubrication. Rane recommends spraying one or two bursts

of CaiLube MCL into the fader. Work the fader back and forth a few times after spraying. This treatment extends
longevity and can make used faders as good as new.
