Power ON switch and LED

Your basic, straightforward power switch.

When the yellow LED is lit, the MX 22 is

ready to go.

LOW/HIGH FREQUENCY control

This 31-position selector sets the crossover

frequency between the Low and High

frequency Outputs in both Channels. Consult

the manuafacturer of the drivers or cabinets

for the correct setting.

HIGH LEVEL control

This controls the level of signal going to the

HIGH OUTPUT jacks. Unity gain is reached at

the “0 dB” mark with the INPUT LEVEL set

to “10”. Refer to Operating Instructions on

page Manual-6.

LOW OUTPUTS

Connect the LEFT LOW OUTPUT to the left

channel of the low frequency amplifier, and

the RIGHT LOW OUTPUT to the right channel

of the low amplifier. When driving a single

subwoofer, use the MONO SUB OUTPUT jack

instead.

INPUTS

These are balanced Inputs. It is best to use

balanced lines, especially when connecting

cables over 10 feet in length. If you are

feeding the MX 22 from a device that does

not have balanced XLR connectors, consult

SOUND SYSTEM INTERCONNECTION on page

Manual-10.

Cable Wiring

In agreement with IEC and AES/ANSI

standards, Rane wiring convention is pin 2

Positive (hot), pin 3 Negative (cold or

return), and pin 1 signal grounded and

chassis grounded (to allow unbalanced

operation). The XLR case is chassis

grounded.

This device uses low impedance

balanced line drivers. Do not connect the

“+” or “–” output pins to ground, as this

may cause the power supply to shut down.

For unbalanced use, leave the unused output

pin (“+” or “–”) unterminated.
