QUICK START

If you have used just about any DJ mixer on the planet, you will instantly feel at home using the MP 44. Extra care was taken to
ensure that controls are where you expect them to be, and operate as you expect them to.
The MP 44 has some unique features not found on other DJ mixers. It is important that you read at least this portion of the
manual so that you get the maximum benefit from these unique features. As you refer through the rest of this manual (as you should
to get the most of it), front panel controls are on the left side of each page, rear panels are on the right.
Club Managers Section
High performance Master Limiter affects both House and Booth sig-
nals. This control is located on the rear panel and screw driver adjust
to prevent tampering. The Limiter is a safety net designed to protect
ears and equipment.
Automatic HOUSE PAGE INPUT provides a means to automatically
interrupting all program material and broadcast emergency mes-
sages at a pre set level. The HOUSE PAGE GAIN is set independent
of HOUSE- and BOOTH LEVEL control settings. The HOUSE
PAGE GAIN control is a recessed, screw driver adjusted control
located on the rear panel to prevent tampering after installation. See
page Manual-6 for more details.
REMOTE LEVEL Control Port provides a means to control the level
of the Master mix from a remote location. The range of control is
0 dB to –40 dB. Applications include "gain riding" DJs, setting a
comfortable listening level from a remote location and reducing
the maximum available gain. To use the optional VR 1 Remote
Control, simply connect like labeled pins together. Shielded wire is
recommended. See page Manual-7 for more details.
WARNING: Do not operate this unit without the line cord earth ground connected. To do so may increase the risk of elec-
tric shock and increase line cord conducted emissions.

DJ Features Section
High performance Master Limiter affects both House
and Booth signals. The Limiter is a safety net de-
signed to protect ears and equipment. Under normal
operating conditions, the LIMIT indicator should
only flash occasionally. If you are running gains
high enough to cause hard limiting, faders and tone
controls will not respond as expected. For example,
if you run signal levels 10 dB over the Limit thresh-
old, you must turn signal levels down 10 dB before
you hear a reduction in level. See page Manual-5 for
more details.
3-band Tone Controls with full cut (off to +6 dB) on
each of the four Input Buses. You know what to do
with this!
FlexFX™ assignment allows any combination of the
four Input Buses to be processed by the FlexFX
Loop, regardless of A-side, B-side or Post crossfader
assignment! See page Manual-3 for details
