Audio; Input; Output; Effects Loops - Ada MP-2 Owner's Manual

Audio

Input

• Connect instrument's unbalanced 1/4" phone output to the MP-2's front or rear panel
input jack. If you are using a tuner for your instrument, plug the instrument into the
tuner and connect the tuner's output to the MP-2's input.
NOTE: The MP-2 's front panel input jack overrides the rear panel input. Signals going to
the rear panel input will be disconnected if an input is connected to the front input jack.

Output

• Connect the Stage Outputs to the power amplifier's unbalanced 1/4" phone input.
• Connect the unbalanced Recording Outputs to the mixing console or recorder's
unbalanced 1/4" phone Line inputs.
OR
• Connect the balanced Recording Outputs to the mixing console or recorder's balanced
XLR Mic or Line inputs. Use the XLR Level switch on the rear panel to set optimum
level range.
NOTE:
1) The MP-2 is capable of output levels high enough to overload the input of most
guitar or instrument amplifiers and many other devices. Adjust the front panel
Output Level control to avoid unwanted overload distortion.
2) The MP-2 's outputs are independently buffered and so may all be used
simultaneously, if so desired.
3) For mono operation any single output can be used.

Effects Loops

• Connect Effects Loop A and B Sends to the unbalanced 1/4" phone inputs of any
reverb, effects device, or other signal processor. Use either Effects Loop Send for
devices that have only a single (mono) input. The Sends and Returns are only active
when Effects Loop Status is set to "On".
• Connect Effects Loop A and B Returns to the unbalanced 1/4" phone outputs of the
reverb, effects device, or other signal processor. If the device has only one output,
use a Y-cable to split the signal and connect it to both Returns to have effects in both
channels. Set output mix of the signal processor to 100% "wet".
• Use the Effects Loop Level switches (A and B) to set the Send and Return levels to
the optimum match with the external device.
NOTE: Status for the Effects Loop must be set to "On" and the Wet Mix parameter set
greater than 0%for the Returns to be heard.
