Features

Different music genres often require different lter and
EQ congurations to properly deal with song content.
The MP2015 allows performers to adjust Filters, EQs
and the Isolator to suit their needs. Channel, Submix
and Isolator Filters can be stacked for truly amazing
isolation and manipulation of musical elements.

The Isolator EQ on

the Main mix has

powerful 3-band +10

dB to full-cut 24 dB

per octave filters

with fully adjustable

crossover points.

Each input channel

selects USB-A,

USB-B, PH/CD (1-4)

or a stereo line AUX.

• Deck 1 USB play­back channels 1-2.

• Deck 2 USB play­back channels 3-4.

• Deck 3 USB play­back channels 5-6.

• Deck 4 USB play­back channels 7-8.

3-band +6 dB to

full-cut 12 dB per

octave tone filters on

each input channel

and the Submix (with

selectable 300 / 3k or

150 / 6k Hz crossover

points in the user

control panel*).

A sweepable

Low-pass, Low/High-

pass, or High-pass 24

dB per octave filter

can activate on each

input channel and the

Submix channel,

along with a top panel

Resonance control.

Description

Rane creates truly professional mixers for the world’s best artists
and nest sound systems. e new MP2015 lets you push harder
with greater audio headroom in volume and ltering than other
mixers. As an artist, the instruments you use undeniably inu­ence your expression, inspire creativity and transform good into
great. Like the world’s best piano or violin, this is an instrument
of powerful capability. To be the best, you play the best.

e MP2015 is the ultimate mixing instrument for today’s
forward-thinking DJ requiring the very best sound quality. is
mixing instrument combines powerful and unique features, clas­sic elegance, silky-smooth feel and rugged design.

e control ergonomics have an intuitive and comfortable
layout. e custom rotary potentiometers have exceptional feel,
rated for a million cycles. e back-lit push switches are the same
found on recording studio consoles. Durability extends to the
control labels that will never wear o after decades of use.

Let’s talk about sound. is mixer is an audiophile's dream,
meant to be appreciated on the highest-grade home stereo or
mega-club loudspeaker system. Specications are better than
most recording studio components. e very best A/D and
D/A converters are used, with a dynamic range of 116 dB and
THD+N at 0.0009%. All processing is 32-bit oating point at a
selectable 44.1, 48 or 96 kHz sample rate.

Each of the four Deck inputs selects between a turntable or
CD deck (analog or S/PDIF), an Aux line, USB port A or USB
port B. e S/PDIF inputs have a dynamic range of 128 dB with
ultra-low jitter. When using turntables, the RIA A curves are
extremely accurate, with steep rumble lters included. e Gain
control helps match Deck inputs to each other, with visual as­sistance from the 16-segment meters with peak-hold.

Two USB ports allow simultaneous connection of two com­puters, enabling back-to-back sets between laptop DJs running
dierent software without compromise or interruption. Each
USB port supports 10 playback and 14 record channels. is lets
most DAW programs simultaneously record all four decks, the
Sub mix, the Session input and the Main mix. e dynamics of
the MP2015 are perfect for DJs that prefer the uncompressed
sound of WAV and FLAC les.

A stack of customizable Filter sets make the MP2015 unique.
First, tailor each channel source with High, Mid and Low tone
controls with a range of +6 dB to full cut, whose crossover points
can be changed through USB in the control panel. en, each
source has a switchable High-pass, Low-pass or High/Low-pass
sweep eect Filter with an adjustable Resonance control. Finally,
a built-in 3-band Isolator Equalizer on the main outputs adjusts
each band from +10 dB to o, with adjustable Crossover points
between Low / Mid and Mid / High. e Isolator (ISO) easily
lets you play with the musical tension by emphasizing and isolat­ing specic elements (beat, bass, vocal, high-hat, etc.) to control
the ebb and ow during a mix. No other mixer on the market
allows this much tone control variance.

e Submix is great innovation for multi-track DJs, combin­ing 1 to 4 channels plus the Session Input into a Submix, thereby
controlling multiple tracks with one set of EQ, Filter, and vol­ume controls. is means turning one knob instead of trying to
turn several channel knobs at once. Quickly assign or un-assign
any Input to the Submix, which has its own meter, headphone
Cue, and USB record output. is is also where an external
eects unit can be mixed in, and assigned to the Submix or the
Main Mix. e Submix can also be used as a 5th input channel
from the Session Input. No other mixer on the market provides
this ease of multi-track use.

e studio-grade Mic input accepts either a condenser mic,
dynamic mic, or wireless receiver. 48V phantom power is avail­able for a condenser mic. A Duck switch temporarily reduces the
music volume for a professional voice-over, and a Tone control
helps varied mics sound clear over the music.

Rane doesn’t scrimp on the Main Mix, using balanced XLR
Main Outputs and TRS Booth Outputs, each with a Level
control. Session Outputs have their own Output Level control,
available on analog RCA jacks or a digital S/PDIF jack. Session
Inputs and Outputs also provide both analog and digital con­nections. e S/PDIF Session connections allow recording or
chaining mixers together without any analog conversion.

e headphone cue system allows mono Split or Stereo Cue/
Mix Panning, with headphone jacks conveniently located on the
front and top of the mixer.
