MAIN & REMOTE MIC OVERLOAD indicator: Monitors both Microphone Inputs, before and after the MIC EQ. It
lights whenever these levels exceed 4 dB below clipping. Occasional flickering is normal; however, it should not be
allowed to light steadily.
MAIN MIC ENGAGE switch: When pressed, ENGAGES the MAIN MIC Input. The adjacent red LED flashes whenever
the switch is pressed in, signalling that the Main Mic is on.
MAIN MIC LEVEL control: Adjusts the Level of the front panel MAIN MIC Input.
REMOTE MIC LEVEL control: Adjusts the Level of the rear panel REMOTE MIC Input.
CROSSFADER CONTOUR control: Allows adjusting the "shape" of the CROSSFADER response from a gentle curve
for smooth, long running fades, to the steep pitch required for top performance cut and scratch effects. See Figure 1 on page
Manual-1.
A & B Input Channel faders: Control the Levels of the Input selected on each Channel.

ACTIVE CROSSFADER: Controls the relative level of the Inputs assigned to the A and B Channels. When this fader is at
its far left, only Channel A is heard from the Outputs. As the fader is moved toward the right, the volume of Channel B is
increased. When the fader is centered, both Channels deliver equal volume. As you might expect, at the far right only
Channel B is heard from the Outputs. In the unlikely event of Crossfader trouble, See Replacing the Active Crossfader
below. See Figure 1 on page Manual-1 for response curves of various contour settings.
MASTER LEVEL fader: Determines the final Level at the MASTER and ZONE OUTPUTS. Unity gain is around "6".

controls the balance between Mono Cue in the left earcup and the Mono Program in the right.
HEADPHONE LEVEL control: Clockwise rotation of this rotary control increases the Headphone drive Level.
HEADPHONE mode switch: In the out position, this switch feeds Stereo Cue and Program to both earcups. In the in
position the headphone circuit provides Mono Cue to the Left ear and Mono Program to the Right ear.
HEADPHONE Output jack: A ¼" tip-ring-sleeve stereo jack delivers signal to stereo headphones.
POWER "ON" indicator: Illuminates when the MP 22z is connected to an appropriate power source (see Rear Panel

FADER CLEANING

With heavy use in harsh environments, the faders may
need lubrication. This treatment extends longevity and can
make used faders as good as new. The fader assembly must
be removed from the MP 22z for proper cleaning. We
recommend any of the following cleaning solutions:
Caig Cailube MCL 100% spray lubricant
Caig Cailube MCL 5% spray cleaner
CRC 2-26
