Rane MP 44 (2003 version) - Manual (Page 4)

Manual-2
INPUT CHANNELS
INPUT CH’s 1A, 2A , 3A, and 4A are stereo, unbal-
anced RCA jacks that operate as RIAA equalized Phono
Inputs or Line Inputs.
PHONO switches set the mode for Inputs 1A, 2A,
3A , and 4A. In the out position, these Inputs operate at
line-level (max input +20 dBu). Press the switch in for
PHONO operation. If a turntable is not connected to one
of these Inputs, set the switch for Line (out).
PHONO GROUND posts are provided for connecting turntable ground wires. It is very important that each turntable have a
secure ground connection to the MP 44.
INPUT CH’s 1B , 2B, 3B, and 4B enter via stereo, line-level, unbalanced RCA jacks. Maximum input level is +20 dBu.
SOURCE switches select A (Phono/Line) or B
(Line) for each Input Channel.
Input LEVEL controls adjust the gain from –12
dB to +12 dB. The center detent position provides 0
dB of gain (unity). Use this control in conjunction
with the OL (overload indicator) to set the input gain
for the best signal to noise performance.
OL (overload) indicators light when the maxi-
mum undistorted signal level has been reached.
These are fast responding peak detectors that light
3 dB before clipping. Adjust Input LEVEL controls
so that these indicators remain off. This ensures that
your sound remains clean and undistorted and that
adequate head room is reserved for mixing. The OL
indicators are not beat matching indicators.
EQ switches engage the 3-band tone controls. EQ
switches may be used in conjunction with the Hi,
Mid and Low rotary tone controls as “kill” switches.
Set the rotary controls and flip the switch.
HIGH tone controls affect frequencies from 4 kHz to 20 kHz. The range of control is +6 dB to OFF (full kill). The center detent
position is unity gain. These controls are positioned just above the vocal range and may be used for small tonal changes or for the
elimination of high frequency signals.
MID tone controls affect frequencies from 300 Hz to 4 kHz. The range of control is +6 dB to OFF (full kill). The center detent
position is unity gain. These controls may be used for small tonal changes or for the elimination of midrange signals.
LOW tone controls affect frequencies from 20 Hz to 300 Hz. The range of control is +6 dB to OFF (full kill). The center detent
position is unity gain. These controls influence signals below midrange vocals and may be used for small tonal changes or for the
elimination of bass and beats.
A – POST – B switches independently assign CH 1, CH 2, CH 3 or CH 4 to the A side of the crossfader, B side of the crossfader
or POST (after) the crossfader. The ability to assign an Input Channel to the desired mix eliminates the need for redundant source
selection on each of the four input channels.
Input Channel Faders control the mix level for each of the 4 input channels. These are VCA control faders for extended service
life and reduced travel noise. Too achieve the best mix consistency, use input LEVEL controls to set the gain and Channel Faders to
control the mix.
