Manual-3
ቯ ቯ ቯ ቯ ቯ CROSSFADER CONTOUR 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 Figure 1 on page
Manual-1.
ተ Meter and Mode switch: This peak-dBu reading meter displays one of two modes, depending on the switch position. In the
LEFT/RIGHT (out) position, the meter indicates the stereo level in the LEFT and RIGHT Main Outputs. In the CUE/PRG
(in) position, mono CUE level is displayed on the Left meter and mono PROGRAM level is displayed on the Right meter.
ቱ MASTER LEVEL fader: adjusts the level at the rear panel Main Outputs.
ቲ AUX INPUT: This stereo pair of RCA connectors is an extra line level Input which sums with the other signals before the
Master Level fader.
ታ AUX IN LEVEL control: adjusts the level of the front panel Aux Inputs.
ቴ AUX OUTPUT: This stereo pair of RCA connectors provides an extra line level output mix. This is the same signal as the
Main Outputs, but with a separate Level control.
ት AUX OUT LEVEL control: adjusts the level of the front panel Aux Outputs. This control is independent of the Master
Level fader and Main Outputs.
ቶ CUE switches: Pressing in any or all of the CUE pushbuttons routes the respective Source to the Headphone and Meter Cue
sections. The adjacent yellow indicator illuminates when the switch is depressed.
HEADPHONE PAN control: adjusts the relative levels of Cue and Master signals mixed together in stereo for the head-
phones. Counterclockwise rotation increases the amount of Cue signal; clockwise rotation increases the amount of Master
signal.
HEADPHONE LEVEL control: adjusts the volume for the headphones.
HEADPHONE Output jack: This stereo ¼" TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) jack accepts ¼" TRS stereo headphone plugs (do not
use mono plugs).
POWER “ON” indicator: When the yellow indicator is lit, the MM 8z is ready to go.
Fader Cleaning
With heavy use in harsh environments, the faders may
need lubrication. This treatment extends longevity and can
make used faders as good as new. The fader assembly must
be removed from the MM 8z for proper cleaning. We recom-
mend any of the following cleaning solutions:
Caig Cailube MCL 100% spray lubricant
Caig Cailube MCL 5% spray cleaner
CRC 2-26 (www.crcindustries.com)
