DJ MIXER

General Description

Following the success of the MP 24 DJ mixer, Rane
presented the MP 22 for smaller systems and budgets. Rane
improved the design with an Active Crossfader™ and
balanced outputs, now called the MP 22x. It features six
stereo Inputs with individual Trims. Each of the two assign­able mixing buses contains its own defeatable four band EQ,
allowing separate equalization for different sources. All of the
fader controls feature protective dust dams.

The MP 22x incorporates new Active Crossfader technol­ogy, combining state of the art voltage controlled amplifier
design with a professional quality, dual-rail Alps crossfader
control. This combination sets new standards for perfor­mance, reliability and serviceability. Virtually all crossfader
noise is eliminated. Channel to channel crosstalk is greatly
reduced and the off isolation of the faded channel is greatly
increased. Active Crossfader technology dramatically in­creases the service life of the crossfader. In the unlikely event
of crossfader failure, there is no loss of signal. If a crossfader

becomes rough or noisy, it may be “hot-swapped” during a
performance with no interruption of the audio signal. Simply
use the input faders to set the audio levels while the cross­fader is out of service.

Each of the two Phono (RIAA) Inputs can switch to CD
(Line Level) use via rear panel switches. Both Mic Inputs
have Bass and Treble controls as well as an Effects Loop. The
MP 22x also features a second Remote Mic/Line Input and a
stereo Aux Line Input. Master Outputs include a stereo
Master Loop for equalization or processing, as well as two
separate Zone Outputs. The Tape Output and Zone 1 can be
individually switched to include the Main Mic signal with the
program signal. The MP 22x doesn’t scrimp on its powerful
Headphone Cueing system. The metering can be switched to
monitor stereo program or mono cue on one side and mono
program on the other. The MP 22x’s recessed top mounted
jacks provide room for cabling in tight DJ coffins or racks
without sacrificing its compact 4" depth.

DJ MIXER

Application Information

The MP 22x provides two sets of EQ controls, four bands
each, connected with each Input fader. Sensibly placed center
frequencies provide optimum control over a wide range of
input devices. A tape deck on Input A, for instance, can be
equalized to sound similar to a CD player on Input B for
smoother crossfades. Many DJ’s prefer to drop the leading
Bass control during beat-matching, and bring it back up after
the crossfade for a more professional mix.

The MP 22x has a dual purpose metering system. Through
the meter source selector button it can be changed from peak
program in stereo, to mono cue on the left and mono program
on the right. This allows Input Levels to be matched before
Crossfading.

Separate Main Mic and Remote Mic Engage buttons with

flashing indicators leave no question as to whether a mic is on
or not.

The Aux Line Input has its own Level control and sums
with the other program material before the Master Level
fader.

Both Tape and Zone 1 Outputs can have the Mic and Aux
Input signals removed by rear panel switches.

Master 1 and Master 2 Output levels are linked and
controlled by the Master Level fader on the front panel. The
two Zone Outputs have seperate front panel Level controls.
The Master Outputs are balanced ¼" TRS (tip-ring-sleeve),
allowing long cable runs to an equalizer or amplifier. Unbal­anced ¼" TS (tip-sleeve) cables may be used for short runs
when necessary.
