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 MP 24z for proper cleaning. We recommend any of the fol-

lowing cleaning solutions:

Caig DeoxIT FaderLube F100 spray lubricant (www.caig.com)

Caig DeoxIT FaderLube F5 spray cleaner (www.caig.com)

CRC 2-26 (www.crcindustries.com)

LOOP ENGAGE switch:

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 Rear Panel w and e.)

MASTER LEVEL fader: Determines the program and mic level at the Main Outputs. Unity gain is approximately “4.5”.

BOOTH LEVEL control:

Adjusts the program and mic level at the Booth Outputs. Unity gain is approximately “6.5”. This Out-

put utilizes a “ducking” circuit, reducing the mic level when the MIC ENGAGE switch is pressed. (See Rear Panel p.)

ZONE LEVEL control:

Adjusts the program and mic level of the Zone Outputs. Unity gain is approximately “6.5”.

PROGRAM EQUALIZER controls:

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.

PROGRAM EQUALIZER ENGAGE switch:

Enables the Program Equalizer to function when pressed in. The Equalizer is

bypassed in the out position.

HEADPHONE LEVEL CONTROL:

Clockwise rotation of this rotary control increases the headphone drive level.

HEADPHONE PAN 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.

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.

HEADPHONE output jack:

A tip-ring-sleeve stereo jack provides for the insertion of stereo headphones.

PEAK PROGRAM METER:

provides a visual indication of program output voltage. The calibration of the indication is user

adjustable. (See Rear Panel 6.)
