FRONT PANEL DESCRIPTION
1 MIC LEVEL control: Adjusts the Level of the MAIN MIC Input. e OL (overload) indicator lights when the maximum mic
level has been reached, 3 dB before clipping. If this lights up, either turn the MIC LEVEL down, or stop yelling.
2 Program INPUT selectors: Provide Input selection between the 2 Phono and 2 Line Inputs for each of the Program A or Pro-
gram B Channels.
3 Program LOW and HIGH EQ level controls: adjust the equalization for each of the Program Channels. Pointing these controls
straight up at their center detents takes the tone controls out of the path. is is not designed to be the only equalizer in the sys-
tem, this is intended to provide EQ between varying program materials. We recommend an external graphic equalizer for the best
system sound, connected between the MASTER OUTPUTS and the amplifier.
4 Program LEVEL controls: set the volume of each Program Input, as you would expect! ese controls are pre-Crossfader, so
both Program Level controls also depend on the Crossfader setting(see 6).
5 Program meter: is four-segment meter shows signal presence (at -24), optimum signal level (at around 0), and a warning to
turn down the associated LEVEL control if the +12 indicator lights up.
6 Active Crossfader: Controls the mix of Program A and B Levels in a logical manner. When the Crossfader is all the way left, only
Program A is heard. When it's all the way right, only Program B is heard. When it's right in the middle, both Program A and B
are mixed together equally. is is an Active Crossfader™ which uses a VCA to deliver an extended life and reduced travel noise,
but to insure trouble-free operation, see Fader Cleaning on page Manual-4.
7 HOUSE LEVEL control: Adjusts the Output Levels of the MAIN OUTPUTS.
8 Phone CUE switches: Select Program A or B in any combination. e associated yellow indicator lights when a CUE is activated
and pressed in. Depressing a button sends PGM signals to the CUE side of the PAN control. For example, when the Crossfader
is to the left (playing PGM A to the House), listen to CUE B (PGM B) on the headphones to audition, match beats or prepare its
starting point.
9 Phone PAN control: Changes the relative levels of the Cue and Program mixed together in stereo for the headphones. PGM
follows the Main (House) Output; Cue is determined by the CUE switches and only goes to the headphones. Adjust this control
anywhere between Program and Cue.
0 PHONE LEVEL and headphone jack: As you guessed, plug your headphones in here and adjust the overall volume with the
LEVEL control.
q POWER indicator: Illuminates to let you know that the MP 2 is plugged in and ready to go.
