MP 2016
ROTARY DJ MIXER
OPERATORS MANUAL
QUICK START
The MP 2016 is not a UREI! The MP 2016 has many features absent in the UREI. To fully realize all of the benefits
provided by these additional features, please read the entire manual. For those of you who should read the manual, but
won’t, here’s the short version.
There are four dedicated phono preamplifiers. One each for Input Channels 1-4. Switches on the rear panel set each
preamplifier 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 preampli-
fier 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
INPUT GAIN
control to “
10
” and
adjust
MIC GAIN
to just keep the Input Channel
SIG/OL
indicator green, not red. Set the tone controls as desired. The
MIC ENGAGE
switch ducks the
BOOTH
Output by 12 dB unless defeated with internal jumpers.
All five stereo
AUX
Inputs are available for each of the six Input Channels.
Adjust
INPUT GAIN
controls so they blink the green
SIG/OL
indicator. If an indicator stays 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 2016
switch engages the optional XP 2016 processor. If the XP 2016 is not connected, the switch has no
effect. See page Manual-7 for XP 2016 features.
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
EFFECTS LOOP
or
TAPE OUTPUTS
.
Two
TAPE OUTPUTS
are provided. One is
PRE-EFFECTS
Loop and one is
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 2016 uses high performance tone control circuits that isolate the signal into three bands. The level of each
band is independently controlled, and then recombined. This topology provides 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
level controls do not affect the
MASTER SIG/OL
indicator.
The
HOUSE OUTPUT
has both
BALANCED
and
UNBALANCED
Outputs. Always use the
BALANCED
Outputs
for longer cable runs (typically greater than 10 feet, or 3 meters).
Headphone cueing allows monitoring
MASTER
or
CUE SOURCE
. If
MIX LEVEL
controls are operated at less than
“7”, be sure to turn the
PHONES LEVEL
down before selecting
CUE SOURCE
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.
Never connect anything except an approved Rane power supply to the red thing that looks like a telephone jack on the
rear of the unit.
This is an AC input and requires special attention if you do not have a power supply
exactly
like the one
originally packed with your unit. See the full explanation of the power supply requirements elsewhere in this manual.
