e LOOP ENGAGE switch: Controls the Switchable Effects Loop; pressing it to its down and locked position routes the main signal through the processor attached to the SWITCHABLE LOOP connectors on the rear. (See Rear Panel w and e.) r MASTER LEVEL fader: Determines the program and mic level at the Main Outputs. Unity gain is approximately “4.5”. t BOOTH LEVEL control: Adjusts the program and mic level at the Booth Outputs. Unity gain is approximately “6.5”.

q TAPE OUT jacks: One pair of RCA jacks provides pre-EQ, pre-LOOP Program Outputs. The other pair supplies pre-EQ, postLOOP Program Outputs. The microphone signals are not available at these Outputs, however they are selectable using an internal jumper block. (See Service Information on page Manual-9.) w SWITCHABLE LOOP SEND jacks: Use these ¼" unbalanced Left and Right Outputs for driving the inputs of a processor activated by the LOOP button (front panel e).
MP 24z CONNECTION Even though the system variations are limitless in most applications where the MP 24z is used, an installer must follow some basic interconnect guidelines. Unfortunately, even though the system and the primary components such as mixers, processors and amplifiers are of commercial grade, most of the source components, i.e. turntables, disc players, tape decks and so on are consumer grade, with consumer interconnect limitations.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS INITIAL OPERATION Operation of the MP 24z is fairly straightforward, deviating only slightly from other products of its type. Assuming at least one turntable is connected and assigned to PHONO 1, operation consists of the following: Make sure all faders are set to zero, the MIC, LOOP, EQ, and ACTIVE CROSSFADER are all disengaged, (switches out) and that all rotary LEVEL controls are either fully counter-clockwise or in their center detents, whichever applies.
MICROPHONE OPERATION To use the mic, connect it to the appropriate connector, and set the PHANTOM POWER switch to the desired mode (it’s a good idea to have the Phantom Power in the on position for condenser mics, off for dynamics). Leave the MASTER LEVEL fader in roughly the same location as it was for the music that’s been playing, press the MIC ENGAGE switch and slowly adjust the MAIN MIC (or AUX MIC) LEVEL.
