QUICK START
If you are too excited to read the manual, at least read this page
to minimize any potential mistakes (we know you don't make
any). Be sure your amplifier is off while making connections, and
every time you turn on your system, apply power to your ampli-
fier
last
.
The most common assumption is that the cables you already
have will work. Well, let's be sure first. None of your RCA cables
should be longer than 10 feet (3 meters) or you are asking for
hum. The
MAIN
and
AUX OUTPUTS
are balanced ¼" TRS
(tip-ring-sleeve) connectors, allowing you to run long lines if
neccessary with properly balanced cables. If you really have to
use unbalanced (tip-sleeve) cables, keep them as short as possible
(well under 10 feet [or 3 meters]). If you are connecting balanced
devices (3-conductor) to either Input of the MP 2S, or are send-
ing the Output to an unbalanced equalizer or amplifier, consult
the included RaneNote
“Sound System Interconnection”
for proper
wiring.
The MP 2S has 3 sets of Outputs. The
HOUSE OUTPUT
is set by the front panel
HOUSE LEVEL
control. The
AUX
OUTPUT
is set by the rear panel screwdriver adjusted
AUX
LEVEL
control. The
TAPE OUTPUT
is fixed. All Output level

controls are independent of each other. The only Level controls
that affect all Outputs simultaneously are the
PROGRAM A
and
B LEVEL
controls.
If you bring a phono signal into
P1
or
P2
be sure to keep the
PHONO
switch
in
; likewise when connecting a CD player to
this input, be sure the
PHONO
switch is
out
.
Start with the
HOUSE LEVEL
all the way down so you
don't scare the neighbors. Start with the Crossfader all the way
to the left (
PROGRAM A
). Select an
INPUT
for
PROGRAM
A
and another for
PROGRAM B
and start playing your sources.
Set the
LOW
and
HIGH
controls to the center. Adjust the
PROGRAM
LEVEL
controls so the bottom three (
-24
,
-12
, and
0
) indicators light up. If the
+12
indicator flashes, turn down its
PROGRAM
LEVEL
control. Now slowly turn up the
HOUSE
LEVEL
so you can hear things working. Moving the Crossfader
to the right brings in the source selected on
PROGRAM B
.
The headphone cue system is simple: The
PAN
controls the
headphone mix between the Program going to the
HOUSE
and
what is on
CUE
, determined by the
CUE
switches.
A clean Crossfader is happy, behaved and long-living. See the
Fader Cleaning
instructions on page Manual-4.
