Getting Started

The QSC MP-M music and paging mixers are ﬁxed architecture mixer/processors offering unprecedented capabilities combined with ease of conﬁguration and operation. The products are intended for retail and hospitality applications in which high-quality audio from various sources is routed to multiple zones. Live mixing functions are also supported for applications requiring reinforcement of entertainment, presentations or conferences.

System Requirements

The MP-M Apps support:

• Android – 5.0 or later

• iOS – 8.0 or later

• macOS – 10.9 or later

• Windows – 10

MP Install

This app (for iOS / Android tablets, Windows and Mac OS) allows system designers and installers to quickly and easily design and conﬁgure systems for MP-M Series mixers. This wireless control features an intuitive Workﬂow Wizard to navigate through room tuning and speed commissioning.

MP Manage

For wireless control, the MP Manage app (for iOS / Android tablets and smartphones) provides end users day-today operation of basic system functions including zone level, source selection, scene recall, scheduling, and mixer control. It also offer a unique store-and-forward zone paging functionality to the MP-M Series mixer.

About Stereo Linking:

Signal routing and summing for linked inputs and outputs functions as follows:

•

About Delay:

The output delay on the MP-M is primarily useful for “architectural delay”. Architectural delay is used to align the arrival of sound from nearby speakers to the arrival of sound from a more distant source. When the delay is set correctly, the listeners will have the impression that they are hearing the distant source when most of what they hear is actually coming from the nearby speakers. To adjust the delay:

•

button – Selects the Setup screen

Stereo Link

– Links adjacent channels for stereo operation. Only odd / even linking is supported (1-2, 3-4, etc.). Even / odd linking (2-3, 4-5) is not available.

Mono input (source) to mono output (zone) – The mono source signal is output from the zone as a mono signal.

Mono input (source) to stereo linked output (zone) – The mono source signal is routed equally to the odd and even numbered outputs.

Stereo input (source) to mono output (zone) – The stereo source signal is summed and output to the zone as a mono signal.

Stereo input (source) to stereo linked output (zone) – The stereo source signal from the odd numbered input channel is routed to the odd numbered output channel. The stereo source signal from the even numbered input channel is routed to the even numbered output channel.

– Sets a minimum and maximum level for the channel. These are the minimum and maximum settings that can be set from an

MFC or from the MP Manage app. On the MFC and MP Manage app, the Min setting is displayed as 0% and the Max setting is displayed as 100%.

Architectural Delay

Delay Enable

– is variable up to 100 msec and is displayed in feet, meters and milliseconds.

– Engages or disengages the Delay.

Set the delay for the nearby speakers so that the distance equals the distance between the nearby speakers and the distant source. Note that the source could be an acoustic source such as a piano, guitar or a talker, or it could be another speaker system.

Get into the coverage area of the nearby speaker. While listening to the source and the nearby speaker, add up to 30 msec. of delay. You’ll know it’s right when you’re ear tells you that the sound is coming from the source.

Precedence Effect (also known as Haas Effect) creates the illusion that we aren’t hearing the delayed sound from the nearby speakers because we heard the sound from the distant source ﬁ rst.

Output − Music On Hold (MoH)

The MP-M has the ability to route an input signal to a dedicated Music on Hold output that can be connected to a telephone system.

Note that the MoH output audio bandwidth has been deliberately limited to reduce distortion that may occur if excessive low-frequency signal is sent to a telephonesystem.

Output Channel − Sources

A primary purpose of the MP-M is to route audio signals from the inputs (Sources) to the outputs (Zones). The Sources screen is where the available sources are assigned to an output and given their roles.

The MP-M uses Priority Sources to designate which inputs are able to override the signal from other inputs. Each output zone includes two duckers that are triggered by the Priority inputs. (A ducker is a dynamic processor that uses one audio signal to reduce the level of another signal.)

Assignments to sources are made from MP Install and cannot be changed from the MP Manage app or the MFCcontrollers.

Output Zone − Loudness

How the human ear perceives tonal balance depends on the level of the sound being heard. As level decreases, more low-frequencies (relative to the mid-frequencies) are needed to maintain the perception that tonal balance is unchanged. Psychoacoustic research has established Constant Loudness Contours that describe how the perception changes with level.

The Loudness function works with the output Zone Level control to maintain a constant perceived tonal balance when the Zone Level setting is adjusted.

Threshold

– Adjusts the point at which the Zone Output Level can be set without applying any loudness compensation. When the Output Level and the Threshold controls are both set to the same level, there will be no loudness compensation. If the Output Level is then lowered by 10 dB, a Loudness Contour that compensates for the 10 dB change is applied.

Zone Level

– Graphic representation of the Zone channel Output Level.

Shaded Area – The difference between the Threshold setting and the Zone Level setting will be represented by a shaded area overlaying the Equal Loudness Contours.

Scale

– The Scale control adjusts how much loudness compensation is applied. If too much low-frequency is heard at low level, reduce the

setting. If more low-frequency is desired at lower-levels, increase the Scale value.

Bring the Zone channel Output Fader up to the level at which there should be no loudness compensation applied. This will usually be the loudest, normal operating level for the output zone.

Adjust the Threshold slider so that the blue Threshold line overlays the white Zone Level line. Use the Scale control to adjust how much compensation is applied. To set the Scale, bring the Zone output level to the lowest normal operating

level. If too much Loudness Compensation is present, reduce the Scale setting.

Managing Conﬁ gurations – Ofﬂ ine

The MP Manage app supports ofﬂ ine operation allowing most aspects of MP-M setup to be performed on a tablet or computer without being connected to an MP-M. This includes the creation of conﬁ gurations.

When the app is ofﬂ ine, it uses the conﬁ guration that was last opened in ofﬂ ine mode. When the app connects to an MP-M, the MP-M online conﬁ guration takes over. To restore the ofﬂ ine conﬁ guration, click the Connection button on the lower right corner of the screen and select None (ofﬂ ine). The last ofﬂ ine conﬁ guration to be recalled will be loaded. Even so, it’s good practice to save any ofﬂ ine or online conﬁ guration before changing mode.

Conﬁ gurations include a password whether they are created online or ofﬂ ine. For this reason it may be necessary to enter a password when switching between an online and an ofﬂ ine conﬁ guration.

USB Wi-Fi adapters

For short range applications with fewer potential sources of interference, an optional USB adapter, supplied by QSC, and available at – https://parts. qsc.com/cp-000033-00. No other USB Wi-Fi adapters have been qualiﬁ ed for use with the MP-M. Be aware that its range and connection reliability will be limited compared to an external Wi-Fi router.

If the optional QSC USB Wi-Fi adapter is installed, the mixer automatically creates its own network on power up. The factory-default network name will be “MPM-” followed by a random number. The mixer’s factory-default local network password is 1234509876.
