ROTARY DJ MIXER
OPERATORS MANUAL
QUICK START
You asked for it, you got it! e MP 2016S now has Split Cue! If
you don’t know what that is, we suggest you take the time to
read this entire manual so you learn lots of other things to get
the best sound and features out of your new mixer. But if you
know what Split Cue is, at least read this section to refresh your
knowledge of the rest of the MP 2016S.
ere are four dedicated phono preamplifiers. One each for
Input channels 1-4. Switches on the rear panel set each preampli-
fier for LINE or PHONO operation. Make sure you have these
switches set correctly for your application.
ere are two dedicated MIC preamplifiers, one each for
Input channels 5-6. Rear panel switches set each preamplifier for
LINE or MIC operation. Make sure you have these switches set
correctly. MIC GAIN controls adjust each preamplifier for the
correct sensitivity. With a MIC selected and ENGAGED, set the
front INPUT GAIN control to “10” and adjust the rear MIC
GAIN to just keep the Input Channel SIG / OL indicator green,
not red. Set the rear panel tone controls as desired. e MIC
ENGAGE switch ducks the BOOTH Output by 12 dB unless
defeated with internal jumpers.
Before installing this mixer permanently, be sure to read the
MIC / LINE INPUTS section on page Manual-6.
All five stereo line-level AUX Inputs are available for each of
the six Input Channels.
Adjust the INPUT GAIN controls so they blink the green
SIG / OL indicators. If an indicator is red, the INPUT GAIN
control is set too high. is provides optimum signal to noise,
dynamic range and MIX LEVEL control consistency.
e BOOTH may select CUE or MASTER as its source.
CUE allows monitoring Inputs in the booth without head-
phones.

e XP 2016S switch engages the optional XP 2016S proces-
sor. If the XP 2016S is not connected, the switch has no effect.
e EFFECTS LOOP switch switches the Loop in (up) or
out (down). If nothing is connected to the EFFECTS LOOP
RETURN, the switch has no effect.
e MASTER MONO / STEREO switch influences both
BOOTH and HOUSE OUTPUTS. It does not affect the EF-
FECTS LOOP or TAPE OUTPUTS.
Two TAPE OUTPUTS are provided. One is a PRE-EF-
FECTS Loop and one is a POST-EFFECTS Loop. e POST-
EFFECTS Loop Tape Output has a LEVEL control and may be
used as a pre-tone control AUX Output.
e MP 2016S Master Output uses Accelerated Slope ™ tone
controls that provide full “kill” for TREBLE, MID and BASS.
e MASTER SIG / OL indicator monitors the master mix
before and after the tone controls. is indicator should light
green most of the time. It is OK for it to flash red on occasion.
is provides optimum signal-to-noise and dynamic range.
HOUSE and BOOTH are the only level controls that do not
affect the MASTER SIG / OL indicator.
e HOUSE OUTPUT has both balanced (XLR) and
unbalanced (RCA) Outputs. To avoid hum, always use the bal-
anced (XLR) Outputs for longer cable runs (typically greater
than 10 feet, or 3 meters).
Headphone cueing allows monitoring MASTER or CUE
sources. If MIX LEVEL controls are operated at less than “7”, be
sure to turn the PHONES LEVEL down before selecting a CUE
as it may be much louder than the Master Mix. e Headphone
Output is low-impedance high-current, so do not short the tip
and ring together or to ground.
