OPTIONAL XP 2016S EXTERNAL PROCESSOR

Combining the optional XP 2016S EXTERNAL PROCESSOR 

with the MP 2016S 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-performance 

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 2016S are routed 

to the XP 2016S, 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 2016S. If the XP 2016S engage 

switch is active, the MASTER signal gets the XP 2016S mix. If 

the XP 2016S engage switch is not active, the MASTER signal 

just gets the MP 2016S 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 Crossfader.

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 re-

sponse 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 2016S monitors the 

same signal as the headphones. See the HEADPHONE MONI-

TOR section on page Manual-3.

POWER indicator

This yellow indicator lights whenever AC power is connected.
