FRONT PANEL DESCRIPTION
1
MIC LEVEL control:
adjusts the Level of the MIC Input. The OL (overload) indicator lights when the maximum mic level has
been reached, 3 dB before clipping. If this lights up, either turn the MIC LEVEL down, or stop yelling.
2
Program INPUT selectors:
provide Input selection between the two Phono and two Line Inputs for each of the Program A or
Program B channels.
3
Program LOW and HIGH controls:
adjust the equalization for each of the Program channels. Pointing these controls straight
up at their center detents takes the tone controls out of the path. This is not designed to be the only equalizer in the system, this
is intended to adjust tone between varying program materials. We recommend an external graphic equalizer for the best system
sound, connected between the MASTER OUTPUTS and the amplifier.
4
Program LEVEL controls:
set the volume of each Program Input, as you would expect! These controls are pre-Crossfader, so
both Program Level controls also depend on the Crossfader setting(see 6).
5
Program meter:
shows signal presence (at -24), optimum signal level (at around 0), and a warning to turn down the associated
LEVEL control if the +12 indicator lights up.
6
Active Crossfader:
controls the mix of Program A and B Levels in a logical manner. When the Crossfader is all the way left, only
Program A is heard. When it’s all the way right, only Program B is heard. When it’s right in the middle, both Program A and B
are mixed together equally. This is an Active Crossfader™ which uses a VCA to deliver an extended life and reduced travel noise. To
insure trouble-free operation, see Fader Cleaning on page Manual-4.
7
HOUSE LEVEL control:
adjusts the Output Levels of the MAIN OUTPUTS.
8
Phone CUE switches:
select Program A or B in any combination. The associated yellow indicator lights when a CUE is activated
and pressed in. Depressing a button sends Program to the CUE side of the PAN control. For example, when the Crossfader is to
the left (playing Program A to the House), listen to CUE B (Program B) on the headphones to audition, match beats or prepare
its starting point.
9
Phone PAN control:
changes the relative levels of the Cue and Program mixed together in stereo for the headphones. PGM fol-
lows the Main (House) Output; Cue is determined by the CUE switches and only goes to the headphones. Adjust this control
anywhere between Program and Cue.
0
PHONES LEVEL and headphone jack:
As you guessed, plug your headphones in here and adjust the overall volume with the
LEVEL control.
q
POWER indicator:
illuminates to let you know that the MP 2S is plugged in and ready to rock.
