MP2014 MANUAL
Session Input
Session input sources may be analog line RCA, digital S/PDIF, or USB audio channels 5/6. Session
input can independently mix in an additional stereo source, or use in conjunction with Session Out
to chain mixers together.
Connect any line-level device (e.g., CD player, another mixer, keyboard, phone, etc.) to the
Session In RCA white and red jacks. The orange S/PDIF input connects a digital device (e.g., a CDJ
2000 or another MP2014 or MP2015 mixer) using a single coax RCA cable. The switch above the
jacks selects the orange S/PDIF input or the red/white line-level inputs as a source. Alternatively,
USB Aux audio channels 5/6 can be the Session input source by flipping the toggle switch up next
to the Session In level control.
To play audio from a device plugged into the RCA or S/PDIF Session Inputs, set the USB AUX
toggle switch to SESSION IN (down position). To play audio from USB audio channels 5/6 set
the USB AUX switch to USB AUX (up position). To use USB AUX playback, you must assign USB
channels 5/6 to tracks in your DJ or DAW software preferences panel. Playback from both USB
Ports A and B on channels 5/6 are mixed together.
The Session Input is available for recording on USB record channels 11-12.
Session Output
Session Output is available on analog line-level RCA white and red jacks, and an orange digital
S/PDIF jack. Use these outputs in combination with the Session Input when chaining mixers
together, for an auxiliary zone output, or for external digital S/PDIF main mix recording. Both analog
and digital outputs are active at the same time.
Note: Using S/PDIF provides better sound and higher performance when connecting an available
S/PDIF source like an equipped CDJ or another mixer.
The Session Out control affects the level of audio output on the Session Out RCA jacks and the
S/PDIF jack.
Microphone Input
The mic input has these controls:
• On / Off switch turns the mic on or off.
• Duck momentarily turns down the other inputs by 10 dB (by about 1/3).
• Gain control sets the mic level.
• One-knob spectral tilt Tone control:
•
Increasing Treble reduces Bass by the same amount.
•
Decreasing Treble increases Bass by the same amount.
• A rear panel switch has two positions for different mic types:
•
Line level accepts the output from a wireless mic receiver.
•
Mic level is suitable for a dynamic mic.
• Control panel option: with Clean Feed selected, the Mic signal is sent directly to the Main Out and is not present in the
USB Main Record, Booth Out or Session Out. See "Control Panel" on page 14.
• The Mic Input is available for recording on USB record channels 13-14.
