OPTIONAL XP 2016a EXTERNAL PROCESSOR
Combining the optional XP 2016a EXTERNAL PROCES-
SOR with the MP 2016a adds three-band, full-cut, Accelerated-
Slope™ tone controls and A-POST-B Crossfader Assign switches
for each of the six Input channels. You also get a high-perfor-
mance Active-Crossfader™ with full-range Contour control and a
TREBLE 0 TREBLE
stereo 10-segment peak dBu Master / Cue Meter with peak hold.
With these added features, the system accommodates the diverse
+6 OFF +6
needs of virtually all DJ mixing styles.
MID 0 MID
The post MIX LEVEL signals from the MP 2016a are routed
to the XP 2016a, processed by the tone controls, then assigned to
the A side of the fader, B side of the fader or post fader. The mixed
+6 OFF +6
signal is returned to the MP 2016a. If the XP 2016a engage
BASS 0 BASS
switch is active, the MASTER signal gets the XP 2016a mix. If
the XP 2016a engage switch is not active, the MASTER signal
just gets the MP 2016a mix.

extending the life and performance of the control. See page
