OPTIONAL XP 2016 EXTERNAL PROCESSOR
Combining the optional XP 2016 EXTERNAL PROCES-
SOR with the MP 2016 adds three-band, full-cut,
Acceler-
ated-Slope™
tone controls and A-POST-B Crossfader Assign
switches for
each
of the six Input Channels, high-perfor-
mance
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 accommo-
dates the diverse needs of virtually all DJ mixing styles.
The post MIX LEVEL signals from the MP 2016 are
routed to the XP 2016, 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 2016. If the
XP 2016 engage switch is active, the MASTER signal gets
the XP 2016 mix. If the XP 2016 engage switch is not active,
the MASTER signal gets the normal MP 2016 mix.
CHANNEL 1-6 TREBLE

CHANNEL 1-6 BASS

Hz from +10 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 response from a gentle curve for smooth, long
running fades, to the steep pitch required for top performance
cut and scratch effects. (See the graph in the Data Sheet.)
PEAK PROGRAM/CUE METER
The stereo 10-segment Meter on the XP 2016 monitors
the same signal as the headphones. If MASTER is selected as
the source, the Meter will indicated the MASTER signal level
before the HOUSE and BOOTH level controls. If CUE is
selected as the source, the meter will indicate the level of the
selected CUE signal.
PWR indicator
This yellow indicator lights whenever AC power is
connected to the unit.
