Manual-1
MP 2016S
ROTARY DJ MIXER
OPERATORS MANUAL
QUICK START
The MP 2016S has Split Cue! If you don’t know what that is, we
suggest you take the time to read this entire manual so you learn
lots of other things to get the best sound and features out of your
new mixer. But if you know what Split Cue is, at least read this
section to refresh your knowledge of the rest of the MP 2016S.
There are four dedicated phono preamplifiers. One each for
Input channels 1-4. Switches on the rear panel set each preampli-
fier for
LINE
or
PHONO
operation. Make sure you have these
switches set correctly for your application.
There are two dedicated
MIC
preamplifiers, one each for
Input channels 5-6. Rear panel switches set each preamplifier for
LINE
or
MIC
operation. Make sure you have these switches set
correctly.
MIC GAIN
controls adjust each preamplifier for the
correct sensitivity. With a
MIC
selected and
ENGAGED
, set the
front
INPUT GAIN
control to “
10
” and adjust the rear
MIC
GAIN
to just keep the Input Channel
SIG / OL
indicator green,
not red. Set the rear panel tone controls as desired. The
MIC
ENGAGE
switch ducks the
BOOTH
Output by 12 dB unless
defeated with internal jumpers.
Before
installing this mixer permanently, be sure to read the
MIC / LINE INPUTS section on page Manual-6.
All five stereo line-level
AUX
Inputs are available for each of
the six Input Channels.
Adjust the
INPUT GAIN
controls so they blink the green
SIG / OL
indicators. If an indicator is red, the
INPUT GAIN
control is set too high. This provides optimum signal to noise,
dynamic range and
MIX LEVEL
control consistency.
The
BOOTH
may select
CUE
or
MASTER
as its source.
CUE
allows monitoring Inputs in the booth without head-
phones.

The
XP 2016S
switch engages the optional XP 2016S proces-
sor. If the XP 2016S is not connected, the switch has no effect.
The
EFFECTS LOOP
switch switches the Loop in (
up
) or
out (
down
). If nothing is connected to the
EFFECTS LOOP
RETURN
, the switch has no effect.
The
MASTER MONO / STEREO
switch influences both
BOOTH
and
HOUSE OUTPUTS
. It does not affect the
EF-
FECTS LOOP
or
TAPE OUTPUTS
.
Two
TAPE OUTPUTS
are provided. One is a
PRE-EF-
FECTS
Loop and one is a
POST-EFFECTS
Loop. The
POST-
EFFECTS
Loop Tape Output has a
LEVEL
control and may be
used as a pre-tone control
AUX
Output.
The MP 2016S Master Output uses
Accelerated Slope
™ tone
controls that provide full “kill” for
TREBLE
,
MID
and
BASS
.
The
MASTER SIG / OL
indicator monitors the master mix
before and after the tone controls. This indicator should light
green most of the time. It is OK for it to flash red on occasion.
This provides optimum signal-to-noise and dynamic range.
HOUSE
and
BOOTH
are the only level controls that do not
affect the
MASTER SIG / OL
indicator.
The
HOUSE OUTPUT
has both balanced (XLR) and
unbalanced (RCA) Outputs. To avoid hum, always use the bal-
anced (XLR) Outputs for longer cable runs (typically greater
than 10 feet, or 3 meters).
Headphone cueing allows monitoring
MASTER
or
CUE
sources. If
MIX LEVEL
controls are operated at less than “7”, be
sure to turn the
PHONES LEVEL
down before selecting a
CUE
as it may be
much
louder than the Master Mix. The Headphone
Output is low-impedance high-current, so
do not
short the tip
and ring together or to ground.
