MIDI ACOUSTIC PREAMPLIFIER
MAP 33 Midi/Programmable Acoustic Instrument Preamplifier
MAP 33
Ranes renowned signal processing and digital expertise
have combined to create a quantum breakthrough in acoustic
instrument amplification. The MAP 33 effectively preserves
complex acoustic timbre through a unique system that
processes two different pickups separately with an impressive
arsenal of programmable functions. Now acoustic instruments
can at last share the forefront along with electric instruments
live on stage, with full acoustic timbre, powerful volume,
sustain, and minimum feedback.
3 SEPARATE STEREO ¼" DUAL-PICKUP INSTRUMENT INPUTS: Select between three separate instruments,
already plugged in and pre-programmed to optimum sound
quality and volume.
BOTH MIC AND PIEZO PICKUPS FOR EACH
INSTRUMENT: Only both type of pickups, with separate
programmable 7-band equalization, filtering and balance, can
enable the kind of accurate, full-bodied acoustic sound the
MAP 33 can deliver, with both timbre and sustain reproduced
without incapacitating feedback. You can easily configure the
MAP 33 for phantom power on either the tip or ring of the ¼"
jack depending on the requirements of your instruments
particular set-up.
ADDITIONAL VOCAL MIC AND STEREO LINE
INPUTS allow you to use the MAP 33 as a compact solo-act
processor. You can plug in your favorite vocal mic, cue up a
background cassette tape or a drum machine, and the MAP 33
will handle it all. You even get a separate programmable 7band equalizer for the vocal mic, plus an effects loop for
sweetening.
SEPARATE PROGRAMMABLE MONITOR OUTPUT features its own 7-band equalizer, invert switch, and
independent mix of vocal, instrument pickup and line levels:
all programmable! The result: superb stage monitor sound
quality and balance, with dramatically reduced feedbacka
revolutionary phenomenon for the acoustic musician!
A FULL COMPLEMENT OF INPUTS, OUTPUTS
AND INSERT LOOPS on the rear panel allow flexible use
of foot controllers, reverb and effects, auxiliary sends and
much more. Turn the page for a look at the rear panel, block
diagram and basic functions of the powerful MAP 33.
64 SEPARATE MEMORY SETTINGS OF THE
ENTIRE MAP 33 CONFIGURATION: Once you have
fine-tuned all of the filters and levels and options for the
instrument youve chosen, simply save the configuration into
permanent memory. The MAP 33 will memorize 64 different
set-ups, which can be instantly recalled via the front panel,
foot-switch, or MIDI program change command. You can
even have two programs for the same instrument: one for
rhythm and one for lead, and change back and forth while
playing.
EXTREMELY USER-FRIENDLY DESIGN. Exhaustive design effort went into giving the MAP 33 unprecedented
operational easea real accomplishment given all of the
MAP 33s sophisticated capabilities. You can design your
own Users Menu, to allow you to quickly access those
functions youll be using on stage. Separate LCD and LED
displays clearly show you memory location and the various
menu parameters. The data wheel gives you quick and natural
response.
POWERFUL BUILT-IN SOFTWARE: The MAP 33
even has a built-in set-up procedure to get you up and running
without getting buried in an owners manual (and by the way,
the MAP 33 does come with a darn good owners manual). A
dedicated Help button provides instant explanation of
whatever function youre working with.
BUILT-IN HEADPHONE OUTPUT allows you to
monitor either the Main output or the Monitor output,
depending on your requirements. The MAP 33 is as comfortable in the recording studio as it is on stage.
RC 6 REMOTE CONTROLLER option is available, a
compact mic-stand mountable box which plugs into the rear
of the MAP 33 and allows direct control over six different
functions. Simply reach down and twist a knob to instantly
control volumes, balance, EQ, or other selected functions
without having to turn around and punch front panel buttons.
AP 13 ACOUSTIC PREAMP is also available, a
compact non-programmable version of the MAP 33 which
provides separate dual-pickup processing for accurate sound
reproduction of a single instrument. Ask your local Rane
dealer for more information on the AP 13.

Available Accessories
RC 6 Remote Controller (not included)
The RC 6 controls any six parameters inside the MAP 33. The RC 6 is
designed to mount to any mic stand, vertically or horizontally.
Connections
The RC 6 connects to the MAP 33 via a standard stereo ¼" TRS (TipRing-Sleeve) cable. Connect this cable between the jack on the bottom of
the RC 6 and the RC 6 Input jack on the rear of the MAP 33.
RC 6 Controls
Data Dials
The RC 6 provides six Data dials, numbered 1-6. Data dial 1 controls
the first parameter in the MAP 33 User menu, Data dial 2 controls the
second User menu parameter, and so on. To assign MAP 33 parameters to
the RC 6 Data dials, you simply paste the desired parameters into the first
six positions in the User menu.
Footswitch Range Select Buttons
The RC 6 provides three buttons and LEDs labeled A, B, and C. These
controls correspond to the three Memory Foot Switch ranges, assigned on
page 2 of the MAP 33 Foot menu. Pressing the A, B, or C buttons assigns a
range to the MAP 33s external Memory Switch. The LEDs indicate which
range is active.
Tip: If the starting program in each memory range is assigned to a
different instrument, these switches can function as an instrument select.
Lockout Switch
The Lockout switch enables/disables the RC 6 when in the Norm/Lock
position, respectively.
RC 6 vs. MIDI
RC 6 commands are sent as MIDI SysEx messages to the MAP 33. If
you send RC 6 commands and MIDI commands into the MAP 33 simultaneously, they will conflict. Therefore, do not connect an RC 6 to the RC 6
Input and a MIDI device to the MIDI IN simultaneously, you must choose
one. On Page 1 of the MIDI menu you must enable SysEx for in or in&out
for the MAP 33 to receive RC 6 commands.
Mounting the RC 6
The RC 6 clamps to any mic stand, vertically or horizontally. If you
wish to rotate the RC 6 clamp, remove the two #6 screws, rotate the clamp,
and reattach.
