Introduction
The MP-M Series music and paging mixers
offer unprecedented capabilities for processing
and routing high-quality foreground/
background audio for multi-zone retail and
hospitality applications, and provides live
mixing functionality for business applications
that also require live speech reinforcement,
including fitness clubs, hotel meeting rooms,
banquet halls etc.
Hardware
The MP-M80 has eight mic/line inputs, eight
line inputs and eight zone outputs while the
MP-M40 has four mic/line inputs, four line
inputs and four zone outputs. Each line input
features dual phono jacks (summed to mono)
for easy connection to the sources typically
found in business music installations.
Both models are equipped with cue bus
outputs for auditioning zones and tracks,
a USB port for storing and recalling design
files, presets and scenes (beyond the mixer’s
internal memory), both conveniently located on
the front panel. They also include two general
purpose inputs for external control triggers,
and an Ethernet port for connection to a
wireless router to allow your system to gain
access to the designer and end user control
apps (MP Install and MP Manage.)
Processing
Input processing: All inputs feature
comprehensive processing including high and
low-pass filters, 4-band parametric EQ, a
gate and a dynamics processor that may be
configured as an automatic gain control (AGC)
or a compressor. The processing is responsive
and musical.
Output Processing: Any combination of input
channels may be designated as sources for
any output zone. Two input channels may
be designated as priority sources that will
‘duck’ the selected input channel for paging/
announcements or to allow a higher-priority
source to take over. There are also processing
blocks for auto-loudness, equalization (1/3
octave GEQ) and limiting. All output channels
MP-M80 | MP-M40
include 12 anti-feedback notch filters with a
wizard to assist in setting the filters.
Loudspeaker processing: A dedicated
loudspeaker processing section contains
preset Intrinsic Correction voicings for QSC
loudspeakers to maximize the value of the
systems. Users may also create, save and
recall their own loudspeaker voices using the
6-band fully-parametric equalizer along with
high-pass and low-pass filters with a choice of
filters (Linkwitz-Riley or Butterworth) and slope
(12, 18 or 24 dB/octave).
Mixer: An integral stereo mixer may be used
for reinforcement of live performance or
for conference/presentation mixing. Effects
processing and a gain sharing automatic
microphone mixer are both available. Any
inputs can be assigned to the mixer and its
output may be assigned to any combination of
output zones.
Software
MP Install app (for iOS/Android tablets,
Windows and Mac OS PCs) is used by
designers and installers to configure and tune
the system. Designers can use the app online
or offline to pre-configure a system without
connecting to hardware. All MP-M Series
parameters and settings are accessible from
the app including an intuitive Workflow Wizard
to assist installers with navigating the room
tuning process and expediting commissioning
tasks. MP Install also allows for customized
control configuration for the MP-M Series’ end
user control peripherals.
MP Manage app (for iOS/Android tablets and
smartphones) provides wireless day-to-day
operation of basic system functions including
zone level control and source selection, scene
recall, scheduling, and mixer control. It also
offers a unique store-and-forward paging
functionality to the MP-M Series mixer. The
installer may restrict or allow which functions
are available to the staff. Multiple user profiles
can be created allowing the installer or a
facility staff member to grant individuals
access to only those functions they need.
