QUICK START

If you won’t read the manual (we know how it is) here are a few basic “plug it in and get signal thru it” facts. e MP 22z has all
unbalanced RCA connectors, except for the XLR & ¼" Mic Inputs, ¼" Mic Loop, and the balanced ¼" TRS Master Outputs. Be
sure your amplifier is off while making connections. On the front panel, set all controls to the middle of their travel. Set all pushbut­tons to their out position, slide the MASTER LEVEL all the way down. Turn the INPUT SELECT switch for Channel A or B to an
Input with material playing. Turn your amplifier on. Now slowly turn up the MASTER LEVEL and see the material on the meters
and hear it from the MASTER OUTPUT jacks.

ere are two places where you can get lost. If you bring a phono signal into PH/LN 1 or 2 be sure to keep the LINE/PHONO
switch set to PHONO; likewise when using a CD player be sure this switch is set to LINE. If you plug into the MASTER LOOP
RETURN the signal path thru the unit is broken, since these are switching jacks. ey are looking for the return from an outside
device that got its signal from the MASTER LOOP SEND, so only use these when you can make a complete loop.

With the CROSSFADER CONTOUR set to full counter-clockwise position, it operates as a typical constant-power crossfader.
Set to clockwise position, the crossfader has the very steep slope as indicated in Figure 1 to the right. Now that was a pretty quick
start, right?

Never connect anything except a Rane RS 1 to the thing
that looks like a red telephone jack on the rear of the
MP 22z. is is an AC supply and requires some special atten-

tion if you do not have an operational power supply exactly like
the one that came with your unit. Consult the Rane factory for a
replacement or substitution.
