OPTIONAL XP 2016a EXTERNAL PROCESSOR
Combining the optional XP 2016a EXTERNAL PROCES-
SOR with the MP 2016a adds three-band, full-cut, Accelerated-
Slope™ tone controls and A-POST-B Crossfader Assign switches
for each of the six Input channels. You also get a high-perfor-
mance Active-Crossfader™ 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 2016a are routed
to the XP 2016a, processed by the tone controls, then assigned to
the A side of the fader, B side of the fader or post fader. The mixed
signal is returned to the MP 2016a. If the XP 2016a engage
switch is active, the MASTER signal gets the XP 2016a mix. If
the XP 2016a engage switch is not active, the MASTER signal
just gets the MP 2016a mix.
CHANNEL 1-6 TREBLE
Allows adjusting the amplitude of frequencies above 4 kHz
from +6 dB to OFF (full kill).
CHANNEL 1-6 MID
Allows adjusting the amplitude of frequencies between 300
Hz and 4 kHz from +6 dB to OFF (full kill).
CHANNEL 1-6 BASS
Allows adjusting the amplitude of frequencies below 300 Hz
from +6 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 Cross-
fader.
CROSSFADER
This implements using Ranes’ proprietary Active Crossfader™
design. All audio is isolated from the control element, greatly
extending the life and performance of the control. See page
Manual-8 for cleaning and replacement instructions.
CROSSFADER CONTOUR
This control allows adjusting the “shape” of the Crossfader
response from a gentle curve for smooth long running fades, to
the steep pitch required for performance cut and scratch effects.
(See the graph in the Data Sheet.)
PEAK PROGRAM / CUE METER
The stereo 10-segment Cue Meter on the XP 2016a moni-
tors the same signal as the headphones. See the HEADPHONE
MONITOR section on page Manual-3.
