REAR PANEL DESCRIPTION
1. REMOTE MIC/LINE INPUT:
This ¼" tip-sleeve Input is for wireless mics or other high-impedence sources.
2. MICROPHONE LOOP jacks:
These ¼" tip-sleeve connectors are for inserting external signal processing in the micro-
phone circuit only. These jacks do not effect the other Inputs.
3. PHONO GROUND screw:
This can facilitate your hum chasing, buzz eliminating experiments, providing a place to
connect those extra wires coming out of the turntables. See
Chassis Grounding
, next page.
4. PHONO/LINE 1 & 2 INPUTS:
These stereo Inputs are switchable from a PHONO (RIAA) stage for magnetic cartridges to
a LINE level Input suitable for any line level device such as a CD player. Each Input may be adjusted with its TRIM
control for level matching purposes if desired.
5. LINE 3,4,5 & 6 INPUTS:
These stereo pairs of RCAs connect LINE level Inputs only. Each Input may be adjusted with its
TRIM control for level matching purposes if desired.
6. MASTER LOOP SEND & RETURN:
These stereo pairs of RCA connectors are for inserting external signal processing in
the Master, Zone and Headphone circuits. This feature does not affect the operation of the MIC or AUX INPUTS. These
are switching jacks—always finish the loop when connecting send or return. Only connect to a device that is capable of
returning signal back to the MP 22x.
7. AUX LINE INPUT:
This stereo pair of RCA connectors is an extra set of LINE level Inputs with an independent front
panel LEVEL control (see #7, Front Panel).
8. TAPE OUTPUT:
These RCA connectors are line level Outputs intended for use with a tape recorder, but not necessarily
restricted to that purpose. You may be creative. These Outputs are not affected by the MASTER LEVEL fader.
9. MIC & AUX TO TAPE OUT switch:
In the YES position the Mic and Aux signals along with all Inputs are routed to the
TAPE OUTPUT. In the NO position only program material from Inputs 1 through 6 appear at the TAPE OUTPUT.
10. MIC & AUX TO ZONE 1 switch:
In the YES position the Mic and Aux signals along with all Inputs are routed to the
ZONE 1 OUTPUT. In the NO position only program material from Inputs 1 through 6 appear at the ZONE 1 OUTPUT.
Note: Mic and Aux signals are never routed to the ZONE 2 OUTPUT.
11. ZONE OUTPUTS:
These stereo pairs of RCA connectors are line level Outputs with independent front panel OUTPUT
LEVEL controls (see #8,
Front Panel
) and are not affected by the MASTER LEVEL control.
12. MASTER OUTPUTS:
These balanced ¼" TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) Outputs connect to a balanced equalizer or amplifier.
Though not recommended, unbalanced ¼" TS (tip-sleeve) cables may be used for short runs (under 3 meters [10 feet]) to an
amplifier with unbalanced inputs. See RaneNote 110
“Sound System Interconnection”
for wiring recommendations.
13. Chassis ground point:
This screw is provided for connection to chassis ground if required. See
Chassis Grounding
on the
next page.
14. POWER input connector:
This is not a telephone jack!
Connect an 18 volt AC center-tapped transformer only. Use only a
Rane model RS 1, shipped with the unit, or other RS 1 compatible power supply approved by Rane.
