Mixer Inputs
• One stereo Phono / CD input is provided for each of the four channels on a red and white pair of RCA jacks. If your CD
players have S/PDIF outputs, connect these to the orange S/PDIF inputs. Each channel may be set for PH, CD or SP
using rear panel slide switches. Set unused inputs to CD. Connect your turntable ground wires to the ground posts
provided on the rear panel when using PH inputs.
• Computer control panel: Phono Sensitivity adjustment to match source levels. See "Control Panel" on page 16.
• There is one stereo unbalanced AUX IN on RCA jacks. This input may be selected by any of the four Deck channels.
• One stereo Session Input is available as analog on a pair of red and white RCA jacks, or digitally using the orange S/PDIF
jack. Select the input type with the LINE / S/PDIF switch. Use this input to connect two mixers together. Using S/PDIF
Session Input with another mixer's S/PDIF Session Output can digitally link mixers without converting to analog.
• This input may also be a general purpose auxiliary input to the mixer, assigned to the Main mix or Submix. If it's
assigned to the Submix, it can be a 5th input with it's own tone and lter controls like the rst 4 channels.
• The balanced microphone input on a combination TRS / XLR jack can be switched to:
• LINE level for the output of a wireless mic receiver.
• MIC level for a regular dynamic microphone.
• +48 V Phantom power for a condenser microphone.
• Stereo FX Loop Return input is on a pair of unbalanced RCA jacks. The FX Return input is normally used in combination
with the FlexFX Send output to connect an outboard effects processor.
Mixer Outputs
All of these outputs carry the same Main mix signal, each with its own Level control:
• MAIN Output is on a pair of balanced XLR jacks.
• BOOTH Output is on a pair of balanced 1/4" TRS jacks.
• SESSION Out is on a pair of unbalanced RCA jacks, and digitally via S/PDIF on an RCA jack.
The FX Loop Send output is available on a pair of unbalanced RCA jacks. The FlexFX Send output is normally used in
combination with the FlexFX Loop Return input to connect outboard analog effects. The Main mix is sent to effects.
• The SEND output level can be switched to -10 (for unbalanced devices) or +4 (for balanced devices).
Cabling Note: When using unbalanced 1/4" tip-sleeve cables from the Booth Outputs, or RCA cables from the analog
Session Outputs, keep cables short, less than 3 meters (10 feet) to avoid hum and interference. Balanced 1/4" TRS or XLR
cables are the best choice, allowing greater distance runs without problems.
Two USB Ports
The MP2015 allows simultaneous connection of two computers, each port completely independent. The USB ports are
100% class compliant, allowing hook-up to Mac OSX without the need for an additional driver. A high-performance ASIO
driver connects the audio in most Windows DAW and DJ software. MIDI end points are class compliant with both OSX and
Windows devices. Connect either port to a single computer. See "Class Compliant USB Ports" on page 16.
Power Supply
The MP2015 Mixer features an internal universal switching power supply that operates on any AC mains 100 to 240 VAC, 50
or 60 Hz (most places in the world). All that is required when traveling is the appropriate IEC line cord, available from a local
electronics store. The universal supply is a major plus for the traveling DJ. Though this mixer has turn on/off muting, it’s
smart to leave the power unplugged until everything else is connected.

Session Input and Output
SESSION OUT

AUX
SUB
Session input sources may be unbalanced RCA, digital S/PDIF, or USB audio channels 9/10. Session
input can be used independently to provide an additional stereo input to the mixer, or in conjunction
with Session Out to chain mixers together.
Connect any line-level device (e.g., a CD player, another DJ mixer, an iPod, iPhone, etc.) to the
Session In RCA white and red jacks. The orange S/PDIF input connects a digital device (e.g., a CDJ
2000 or another MP2015 mixer) using a single RCA cable. Use the switch above the jacks to select
the S/PDIF input or the RCA inputs as a source. Alternatively, USB Aux audio channels 9/10 can be
selected as the Session input source using the toggle switch next to the Session In level control.
Session Output is available on unbalanced analog white and red RCA jacks and an orange digital S/PDIF jack. These
outputs can be used for auxiliary zone output, in combination with Session Input when chaining mixers together or for
external digital S/PDIF main mix recording. Both of these outputs are active at the same time.
Note: Using S/PDIF provides better sound and higher performance when connecting an available S/PIDF source like an
equipped CDJ or another mixer.
To play audio coming from a device plugged into the RCA or S/PDIF Session Inputs, set the USB AUX toggle switch
to SESSION IN (down position). To play audio from USB audio channels 9/10 set the USB AUX switch to USB AUX (up
position). To use USB AUX playback, you must assign USB channels 9/10 in your DJ or DAW software preferences panel.
Assigning the Session Input to the Submix (press the SUB button) essentially turns this 4-channel mixer into a fullfeatured 5-channel mixer with the Submix channel providing independent 3-band EQ, Filter, Mix Level and Cue.
You can simultaneously record the Session Input, channels 1, 2, 3, 4, Submix, and the Main output through USB audio
channels. Multitrack recording allows you to “x” a recording in the studio. See "USB Audio" on page 14.
The Session Out control affects the level of audio output on the Session Out RCA jacks, S/PDIF jack and USB Record
channels 13-14.

Real World Session I/O Application
If you are a Traktor and Maschine user, you may typically use a combination of four track decks and/or remix decks within
Traktor as well as hits, loops, and samples coming from Maschine.
Route your four tracks/remix decks to the four channels on the MP2015 and then route the main output of Maschine
through the Session Input via USB AUX channels 9/10. Set the audio routing in the Traktor Preferences.
Use the Session In gain to control the audio volume coming from Maschine. You can send the audio from Maschine to
the Submix by pressing the Session In SUB button, giving you full Mix level, EQ, and Filtering. Alternatively, you can take
advantage of Maschine’s discrete audio through the Deck channels to the Submix for ease of multi-source mixing and/or to
add an external effect.
Submix
The Submix is a channel that you can send any or all audio to, just as you do with the main mix. The Submix may include
any combination of the four Deck Inputs and the Session Input. Press the SUB button on any Deck or the Session In to
assign it to the Submix, lighting the button blue. This allows grouping any number of inputs for easy and intuitive multisource mixing. The concept is identical to a Submix or bus track on a typical audio mixing console. This capability is
important for grouping a number of tracks together onto one channel for ease of control and processing.
• Channels assigned to the Sub Mix share a common set of controls:
• Main MIX Level.
• 3-band full-cut tone controls. Crossover points for Low/Mid and Mid/High can be changed. See "Control Panel" on
• Note: The Resonance control affects all Sweep Filters for Decks 1, 2, 3, 4 and the Submix.
• Assignable external Effects Loop:
• The FX Send level can be switched on the rear panel to -10 (for low-voltage devices) or +4 (for higher-voltage devices).
• FX ON button activates the effects loop when lit, receiving input from the FX RETURN jacks.
• Wet / Dry controls the ratio of FX to the mix.
• This Loop may be switched to process the Main Mix or the Submix.
• USB Record output for the Submix is on channels 11-12.

FX LOOP
One huge leap forward in DJ technology is the introduction of auto sync. Using CDJs, Traktor,
Virtual DJ, Ableton, or most any DJ software, the sync feature opens the gates to creative multisource mixing. New technology offers new possibilities, and might make you rethink how you mix.
A Submix removes the burden of having to simultaneously manage separate gain, EQ, and lter
controls for multiple channels when mixing multiple sources. Grouping the tracks together within
the Submix allows one simple set of controls to easily control Mix level, EQ and Filter settings for
multiple channels, turning one control instead of 2, 3 or 4 all at once.
When mixing two sources, you probably won’t use the Submix, unless you want to add an
external effect to one or both of the channels. The Submix is key for DJs needing to easily and
intuitively mix multiple sources at once.
Using the Submix
Let's look at an example with three sources of audio coming from software:
• The main track is on channel 1, a drum loop on channel 2, and a looped sample on channel 3.
• There is a breakdown coming up in the main track and you want to lter out the Low/Mid range
while turning down the gain of the tracks on channels 2 and 3 going into the breakdown.
• Before assigning channels to the Submix, make certain that doing so initially has a neutral affect
on what is being played. Turn the Submix Mix control all the way up, set the tone controls at 12
o’clock, and turn off the Filter within the Submix channel. This ensures that the audio sent to the
Submix is initially unaffected by the Submix routing.
• Press the SUB buttons next to the Source selector on both channels 2 and 3. This sends the
audio of both channels to the Submix.
• Now you can control both tracks on channels 2 and 3 using the Submix control strip.
• As you get closer to the breakdown about to happen on the channel 1 track:
• Turn on the Filter within the Submix channel.
• Start ltering out the Low and Mid range frequencies with the Filter control.
• Turn down the level of both tracks with the MIX knob in the Submix.
Mix successfully executed!
Without a Submix, you would need to turn on two Filters, adjust two Filter controls and turn down
two Mix controls to execute the same mix. Adding more tracks to the mix makes this process even
harder to manage and could land in a sea of uncontrolled sound and a confused dance oor.

Submix and the External FX Loop
The Submix features an external effects insert, allowing you to add effects to assigned channels.
The external FX controls are located at the top of the Submix channel strip:

2. MAIN / SUB switch: allows you to choose whether you want to add an effect to audio coming into
the Submix or to the Main mix.
3. WET / DRY: controls the amount of the effect.
You'll nd the RCA Send and Return jacks and a level switch on the rear panel. Here's how it works:
1. Connect the MP2015 SEND to the input of your external effects processor.
2. Connect the output of the effects processor to the MP2015 RETURN.
a. If you use a consumer-grade effects processor, such as the Korg Kaoss Pad, engage the -10 switch by pressing it in.
This matches the I/O level of the external effects processor to the MP2015.
3. Select SUB or MAIN mix as the location for the effects insert:
• If you want the effect on everything, select MAIN.
• If you want the effect only on the Submix selected intputs, select SUB.
a. For the Main mix, set the effects assign toggle to MAIN then simply press the FX ON button to engage the FX Loop
and rotate the control toward WET until you hear the desired effect amount.
b. To apply an effect to channels assigned to the Submix, set the FX Loop assign to SUB. Send the desired channels to
the Submix. Turn the FX ON and adjust WET / DRY as desired.
c. To avoid any change in your mix when sending channels to the Submix, make sure the MIX knob in the Submix is
turned all the way up, the tone controls are dead center at 12 o’clock, and the FILTER switch is turned off.

Starting from the Source selectors, the signal passes through the Gain, Tone, Filter and Mix controls. This graphic has the
SUB buttons, Session In and FX control positions re-arranged to more easily see the signal ow.
• If SUB is not pressed (see Decks 1 and 2) then the signal goes to the FX Loop (if it's on), then the ISO EQ (if it's on),
then to the Main Outputs.
• If SUB is pressed (see Decks 3, 4, and Session In) then the signals are combined and go through another set of
Tone, Filter and Mix controls. From here, the Submix can go through the FX Loop (if it's on), then the ISO EQ (if it's
on), then to the Main Outputs.

There are seven stereo record channels and ve stereo playback channels. These channels are available on two USB ports,
allowing two computers to share the device. This allows two DJs to play together, and supports uninterrupted transitions
between them. USB audio is 24-bit PCM with a sample rate of 44.1, 48 or 96 kHz. Sample rate and USB slot assignments
are made in the preferences screen in your DJ or digital audio workstation software.

One of the biggest challenges of digital DJing has been seamlessly changing over from one DJ to the next and playing
back-to-back DJ sets. With the dual USB architecture of the MP2015 mixer, changeover between digital DJs has never
been easier.
PH/CD 1 AUX
Deck Changeover Controls
1A
At the top of each input channel is the Source Selector
to switch input sources. If your computer is connected
to USB port A, switch a channel Source Select knob to
USB A, and the mixer assigns the corresponding virtual deck to that channel for audio playback. For example, assigning all
four channels to USB 1A-4A assigns all four virtual decks to the computer connected to USB port A.
The same applies to USB port B. If your computer is connected to USB port B, switching a channel Source Select knob
to USB B, assigns the corresponding virtual deck to that channel for audio playback.
When two DJs are connected to the MP2015, they can quickly swap deck control between computers using the Source
Select knobs. Any of the four inputs can be swapped back and forth with a simple knob twist. Nice and easy, just the way
we intended.
The DJ Changeover Walkthrough
In the scenario below, one DJ, let’s call him DJ A, is already connected to the MP2015 using either USB port A or B. With
DJ A’s computer already connected and playing music, do the following:
1. Connect your computer to the unused USB port on the MP2015.
2. Switch the Input Source on a non-playing input channel to the USB source of your computer.

3. Play a track on this Deck and mix it in when you're ready — audio from both computers are in the mix.
4. Fade out the audio playing from DJ A’s computer to the audio playing from your computer.
5. Assign the Input Source for the remaining free mixer channel(s) to your computer and continue DJing.
When DJ A is done, disconnect his computer from the USB port. If you’re back-to-back mixing with DJ A, keep the
computer connected and perform the same swapping instructions to regain deck control.

Class Compliant USB Ports
The USB ports are 100% class compliant, connecting to Mac OSX without the need for an additional driver. A highperformance ASIO driver runs most Windows DAW and DJ software. MIDI end points are class compliant with both OSX
and Windows devices. Mac and Windows Control Panel installers with additional mixer settings are included on the CDROM with the MP2015, and current versions available from the Downloads link in the MP2015 page at dj.rane.com.
ASIO (Windows)
A low-latency ASIO driver interfaces with most DJ and DAW audio software applications on Windows operating systems.
Multi-client ASIO allows different audio software applications to simultaneously stream audio to and from the MP2015. If
the same playback channel is selected in more than one application, the driver mixes the audio from the applications before
streaming it to the device. ASIO driver and Rane Control Panel system requires Windows 7-SP1, Windows 8 or 8.1. The
driver Control Panel may be launched from the Windows Control Panel. Select Start > Control Panel > Rane MP2015.
Core Audio (Macintosh)
No driver installation is required. Connect the MP2015 to a Mac running OSX, and the MP2015 inputs and outputs become
available in your audio program. Install the Rane control panel to provide additional setting as described below.
Control Panel
NOTE: Settings are saved in the mixer. The control panel for Windows or Macintosh is updated with the mixer’s settings.
Therefore, when you connect to a different MP2015 Mixer, it's saved settings override your previous Control Panel settings.
NOTE: The Rane Control Panel and Firmware may be updated with new features over time. To get the most from your
MP2015, occasionally check the Downloads link in the MP2015 page at dj.rane.com.
Settings
The MP2015 allows you to save and export settings. You can load your preferences when using a different MP2015 than
your own, or putting things back after another DJ has used your mixer.
Once you have set control panel preferences, click Export to write these to a computer le. Click Import to load a .rms
settings le. The control panel shows the current settings le loaded in the mixer. If any changes are made since the last
import, [Modied] will appear after the lename along with a Save button, offering to save your changes as the new default.
Firmware
The MP2015 Firmware Version currently installed in the MP2015 is shown. The Downloads link on the MP2015 page at
dj.rane.com is the place to check if there is a control panel / rmware update. After downloading and installing, if the
MP2015 rmware installed on your computer is newer than the rmware in your MP2015, an Update Firmware button is
enabled. Pressing the button updates the MP2015 rmware to the new version.
General Tab
Main Out can be set to Stereo or Mono. The Booth and
Session Outputs are always in stereo.
Headphone Tone slider adjusts the tone going to the
headphones using spectral tilt lters.
• Increasing Treble reduces lows by the same amount.
• Increasing Bass reduces highs by the same amount.
Sub Tone Crossover sets the crossover points of the
3-band Tone controls in the Submix to either:
• 300 Hz between Low and Mid, 3 kHz between Mid and
High.
• 150 Hz between Low and Mid, 6 kHz between Mid and High (default).
Mic Clean Feed when selected, the microphone signal is only sent to the Main Out and is not present in the USB Main
Record, Booth Out or Session Out. This allows you to record your set without any house announcements. Default is Off.
MP2015 MANUAL
16
Port MIDI Enable enables MIDI commands to/from the MP2015 Mixer controls at the current USB Port. Default is Off.
Port MIDI Channel assigns MIDI channel 1-16 to the MP2015 Mixer at the current USB Port. Default is MIDI channel 1.
USB Port Status indicates the connection status of both USB ports. Active indicates a USB connection between the mixer
and a computer. Local shows the USB Port connected to this control panel's computer.
The Buffer Size control allows the USB buffer to be increased or decreased. This only appears in the Rane Control Panel
for ASIO in Windows. In Mac systems, the buffer control is in the DAW or DJ audio preferences screen and does not appear
here. The Rane driver is designed to run at latencies as low as 5 milliseconds round-trip. However, computer performance
and available resources (number of applications running) may adversely affect the computer’s ability to stream audio
reliably. If pops and clicks are heard in USB audio, try increasing the buffer size to eliminate them. With ASIO, total roundtrip latency is equal to Buffer Size plus device latency. With Core Audio, total round-trip latency is determined by the Buffer
Size set by the DAW/DJ software, plus device latency. Device latency is 3 to 4 ms.
Deck Inputs I-IV Tab
There is one panel for each input channel on the mixer.
Each Deck panel controls these functions:
Analog Input Source: The analog input for each Deck
must be set appropriately for CD, Phono or S/PDIF using
a switch on the rear of the mixer. The control panel shows
the mode selected by these switches for each of the four
inputs. This mode can only be changed on the mixer.
Phono Sensitivity: If a Phono Input is selected on
the mixer (as shown for Decks I and IV), the Sensitivity
adjustment appears in the panel. Click the down-arrow to
display a list of 16 Sensitivity settings between 2.5mV and
10mV in 0.5mV steps. The default is 5mV. Set the Phono
Sensitivity to the same level of your cartridge (see your cartridge documentation for the correct value). Another method is to
match the level of the turntable to a CD playing on another input.
USB Record Source: These controls select one of two sources for each input channel as the USB record source.
• Phono / CD will record the source pre-Mix control, used for DVS applications.
• Deck (1-4) Post records each deck after the Mix control, used for multitrack recording. Each Deck records to separate
USB slots. This is the default setting. See "USB Audio" on page 14.
Tone Crossover sets the crossover points of the 3-band Tone controls for each of the Deck channels to either:
• 300 Hz between Low and Mid, 3 kHz between Mid and High.
• 150 Hz between Low and Mid, 6 kHz between Mid and High (default).
