12. MAIN MIC LEVEL control:
This control adjusts the LEVEL of the front panel MAIN MIC Input.
13. MAIN & REMOTE MIC OVERLOAD indicator:
This red LED monitors
both Microphone Inputs
, before and after the
MIC EQ. It lights whenever these levels exceed 4 dB below clipping.
Occasional flickering is normal; however, it should
not be allowed to light steadily
.
14. REMOTE MIC ENGAGE switch:
This pushbutton ENGAGES the REMOTE MIC Input. The adjacent red LED flashes
whenever the switch is pressed in, signalling the Remote Mic is on.
15. REMOTE MIC LEVEL control:
This control adjusts the LEVEL of the rear panel REMOTE MIC Input.
16. A & B Input Channel faders
: These faders control the Levels of the Input selected on each Channel.
17. ACTIVE CROSSFADER:
This fader controls the relative level of the Inputs assigned to the A and B Channels. When this
fader is at its far left, only Channel A is heard from the Outputs. As the fader is moved toward the right, the volume of
Channel B is increased. When the fader is centered, both Channels deliver equal volume. As you might expect, at the far
right only Channel B is heard from the Outputs. In the unlikely event of crossfader trouble, See
Replacing the Active
Crossfader
below.
18. MASTER LEVEL fader:
This control determines the final LEVEL at the MASTER and ZONE OUTPUTS. Unity gain is
approximately “6”.
19. HEADPHONE PAN control:
This control serves two purposes. When the Headphone Mode switch (see #21) is in
STEREO mode, this controls the relative levels of the Cue and Program mixed together in Stereo. When the Mode is
switched to MONO, this controls the balance between Mono Cue in the left earcup and the Mono Program in the right.
20. HEADPHONE LEVEL control:
Clockwise rotation of this rotary control increases the Headphone drive LEVEL.
21. HEADPHONE mode switch:
In the
out
position, this switch feeds Stereo Cue and Program to both earcups. In the
in
position the headphone circuit provides Mono Cue to the Left ear and Mono Program to the Right ear.
22. HEADPHONE Output jack:
A ¼" tip-ring-sleeve stereo jack delivers signal to stereo headphones.
23. POWER “ON” indicator:
This yellow LED illuminates anytime the MP 22x is connected to an appropriate power source
(see #14, rear panel).
FADER CARE
With heavy use in harsh environments, the faders may
need lubrication. Rane recommends spraying one or two
bursts of CaiLube MCL into the fader. Work the fader back
and forth a few times after spraying. This treatment extends
longevity and can make used faders as good as new.

assembly to the front panel.
2. Firmly pull the Crossfader Assembly forward, unplugging
it from the connector on the bottom board.
