MP 2016a Mixer Port

This is the required socket to connect the XP 2016a to the 

MP 2016a, using the ribbon cable supplied with the XP 2016a. 

If a ribbon longer that that supplied with the XP 2016a is used, 

crosstalk may increase, and immunity to RF, magnetic and con-

ducted interference may be compromised. So don’t do it!

POWER

This power jack receives the cable from the RS 1 power sup-

ply shipped with the unit. The chassis ground screw located just 

above the jack is intended for earth grounding the chassis (see 

the Chassis Grounding note on page Manual-4).

Fader Cleaning

With heavy use in harsh environments, the faders may need 

lubrication. This treatment extends longevity and can make used 

faders as good as new. The fader assembly must be removed from 

the XP 2016a for proper cleaning. We recommend any of the 

following cleaning solutions:

Caig DeoxIT FaderLube F100 spray lubricant
