Rane MP 2016a - Manual (Page 5)

Manual-
AUX INPUTS 1-5 RCA jacks
These five stereo AUX Inputs are unbalanced, line level In-
puts available for selection on all six Input channels.
XP 2016a EXTERNAL PROCESSOR
The XP 2016a port provides the required socket for connect-
ing the ribbon cable (supplied with the optional XP 2016a). If
an XP 2016a is not connected, the front panel XP 2016a engage
switch has no effect. If ribbons longer than that supplied with
the XP 2016a are used, crosstalk may increase and immunity to
RF, magnetic and conducted interference may be compromised
— don’t do it.
TAPE OUTPUT – PRE-EFFECTS RCA jacks
This unbalanced line-level Output is located before the EF-
FECTS LOOP and tone controls for recording the Master Mix.
MIC Inputs are mixed as any other source and will be present at
both TAPE OUTPUTS.
TAPE OUTPUT – POST-EFFECTS RCA jacks
This unbalanced line-level Output is located after the EF-
FECTS LOOP and before the tone controls. This may be used
as an Auxiliary Output. For this application, as well as for more
flexibility when recording, a LEVEL control has been provided
as described below.
TAPE OUTPUT – POST-EFFECTS LEVEL control
This adjusts the POST-EFFECTS TAPE OUTPUT from
unity gain to off, allowing optimum sensitivity adjustment for
recording or for an Auxiliary Output.
EFFECTS LOOP SEND ¼" jacks
SEND Outputs are unbalanced standard ¼" tip-sleeve jacks.
They provide a line level Output for external signal processing or
effects units. If effects are not being used, these outputs may be
used as Auxiliary Outputs.
EFFECTS LOOP RETURN ¼" jacks
RETURN Inputs are unbalanced standard ¼" tip-sleeve
jacks. They provide the Input from external signal processing or
effects units. Switching jacks are used so there is no loss of signal
if the front panel EFFECTS LOOP switch is active with no
effects connected. RETURN Inputs are not appropriate for Aux-
iliary Inputs as this signal is only selected when the front panel
EFFECTS LOOP switch is active, at which time Master signal
is derived only by the signal present at the RETURN Inputs, the
mix signals are disconnected.
BOOTH OUTPUT RCA jacks
The unbalanced stereo BOOTH OUTPUT is normally used
for booth monitoring. As previously outlined, very flexible source
selection is provided as well as MIC ducking. Remember, the
BOOTH OUTPUT is attenuated by 12 dB whenever one of the
front panel MIC ENGAGE switches is active (unless ducking
has been defeated with the internal jumper. See Mic/Line Inputs
on page Manual-6).
HOUSE OUTPUT jacks
Both balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) jacks are
provided. For long runs, we highly recommend using the bal-
anced XLR outputs. The unbalanced RCA outputs are intended
for short runs of less than 10 feet (3 meters). Both may be used
simultaneously if required.
