HEADPHONE MONITOR

MONITOR determines the source of the PHONES signal. With 

the MONITOR MONO switch out, the control pans between 

stereo CUE and stereo PGM signals. The PGM signal follows 

the HOUSE Output (same signal going to the Master House).

With MONITOR MONO selected (in), the MONITOR 

control pans between mono CUE (left ear) and mono PGM 

(right ear).

The Phones LEVEL control determines the headphone out-

put level. If you are mixing with the MIX LEVEL controls below 

“7”, be sure to turn the Phones LEVEL down before selecting a 

CUE source as it may be 

much 

louder than the Master Mix.

The PHONES output is very low impedance and high 

current so 

do not short tip and ring together or tie to ground,

 as 

is common with many low- cost mono cups. Use resistors of 

300 to 600 Ω in series with each output for mono applications, 

although this significantly reduces output power.

BOOTH CUE / MASTER switch and Level

MASTER HOUSE Level

This studio-grade control sets the HOUSE Output level.

MASTER MONO / STEREO switch

This sets the MASTER mix signal to MONO or STEREO op-

eration. It effects both BOOTH and HOUSE Outputs.

MASTER SIG / OL indicator

This dual color indicator helps set correct MASTER mix levels. 

A flashing or steady green indication is optimal. The red indica-

tor may flash only briefly on rare occasion...regular flashing or 

steady-on means that distortion is imminent and Levels need 

reducing.

XP 2016S switch

This engages the optional XP 2016S External Processor. If the 

XP 2016S is not connected, the switch does nothing. If an XP 

2016S is connected and the switch is on (

up

), it routes the MIX 

LEVEL Outputs to the XP 2016S and returns a stereo MASTER 

signal to the MP 2016S.

EFFECTS LOOP switch

This engages the EFFECTS LOOP when 

up

. If nothing is con-

nected to the EFFECTS LOOP RETURN, the switch has no 

effect.

TREBLE tone control

Allows adjusting the amplitude of frequencies above 4 kHz from 

+6 dB to OFF (full kill).

MID tone control

Allows adjusting the amplitude of frequencies between 300 Hz 

and 4 kHz from +6 dB to OFF (full kill).

BASS tone control

Allows adjusting the amplitude of frequencies below  

300 Hz from +6 dB to OFF (full kill).

POWER indicator

This yellow indicator lights whenever AC power is connected to 

the unit.

The BOOTH CUE / MASTER switch selects MASTER 

mix or CUE selection as the Booth source. This allows CUE 

monitoring in the Booth without headphones. The BOOTH 

Level controls the volume to the Booth Output.
