Manual-3
12. Microphone equalization controls:
These three rotary controls adjust the frequency contour of both Microphone Inputs.
They have no effect on any other program material.
13. LOOP ENGAGE switch:
This pushbutton controls the Switchable Effects Loop; pressing it to its
down
and locked
position routes the main signal through the processor attached to the SWITCHABLE LOOP connectors on the rear.(See #12
& #13,
Rear Panel
.)
14. MASTER LEVEL fader:
This control determines the program and microphone Level at the Main Outputs. Unity gain is
approximately “4.5”
15. BOOTH LEVEL control:
Controls the program and microphone Level at the Booth Outputs. Unity gain is approximately
“6.5”. This Output utilizes a “ducking” circuit that reduces the microphone Level when the MIC ENGAGE switch is
activated. (See #20,
Rear Panel
.)
16. ZONE LEVEL control:
Controls the program and microphone Level of the Zone Outputs. Unity gain is approximately
“6.5”.
17. PROGRAM EQUALIZER controls:
These four rotary controls are used to contour the frequency response of the
program at the Main, Booth and Zone Outputs. This is not designed to be the only equalizer in the system, this is intended
to provide EQ between varying program materials.
18. PROGRAM EQUALIZER ENGAGE switch:
Engaging this switch enables the Program Equalizer to function. In the
out
position, the Equalizer is bypassed.
19. HEADPHONE LEVEL CONTROL:
Clockwise rotation of this rotary control increases the headphone drive level.
20. HEADPHONE PAN CONTROL:
This rotary control serves two purposes; in the STEREO mode it changes the relative
levels of the Cue and Program mixed together in both earcups. In the MONO mode it changes the balance between the
Mono Cue in the left ear cup and the Mono Program in the right.
21. HEADPHONE CUE mode switch:
In the
up
position, this switch feeds STEREO Program and Cue to both earcups, in the
down
position the Headphone circuit provides MONO Cue to the left ear and MONO Program to the right.
22. HEADPHONE output jack:
A tip-ring-sleeve stereo jack provides for the insertion of stereo headphones.
23. PEAK PROGRAM METER:
This stereo LED bargraph provides a visual indication of program output voltage. The
calibration of the indication is user adjustable. (See #6,
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.

The Crossfader may be removed from the front of the
MP 24x without any disassembly of the unit itself, and may
be performed while the unit is operating with no interruption
of the audio signal.
1. Remove the two (2) outer screws attaching the crossfader
assembly to the front panel.
2. Firmly pull the Crossfader Assembly forward, unplugging
it from the connector on the bottom board.
3. Install the replacement assembly by reversing the above
instructions.
