QUICK START

If you won't read the manual (we know how it is) here are a few basic "plug it in and get signal thru it" facts. The MP 22z has all
unbalanced RCA connectors, except for the XLR & ¼" Mic Inputs, ¼" Mic Loop, and the balanced ¼" TRS Master Outputs. Be
sure your amplifier is off while making connections. On the front panel, set all controls to the middle of their travel. Set all pushbut-
tons to their out position, slide the MASTER LEVEL all the way down. Turn the INPUT SELECT switch for Channel A or B to an
Input with material playing. Turn your amplifier on. Now slowly turn up the MASTER LEVEL and see the material on the meters
and hear it from the MASTER OUTPUT jacks.
There are two places where you can get lost. If you bring a phono signal into PH/LN 1 or 2 be sure to keep the LINE/PHONO
switch set to PHONO; likewise when using a CD player be sure this switch is set to LINE. If you plug into the MASTER LOOP
RETURN the signal path thru the unit is broken, since these are switching jacks. They are looking for the return from an outside
device that got its signal from the MASTER LOOP SEND, so only use these when you can make a complete loop.
With the CROSSFADER CONTOUR set to full counter-clockwise position, it operates as a typical constant-power crossfader.
Set to clockwise position, the crossfader has the very steep slope as indicated in Figure 1 to the right. Now that was a pretty quick
start, right?
Never connect anything except a Rane RS 1 to the thing
that looks like a red telephone jack on the rear of the
MP 22z. This is an AC supply and requires some special atten-
tion if you do not have an operational power supply exactly like
the one that came with your unit. Consult the Rane factory for a
replacement or substitution.
