QUICK START
If you are too excited to read the manual, at least read this page
to minimize any potential mistakes (we know you don't make
any). Be sure your amplifier is off while making connections, and
every time you turn on your system, apply power to your ampli-
fier last.
e most common assumption is that the cables you already
have will work. Well, let's be sure first. None of your RCA cables
should be longer than 10 feet (3 meters) or you are asking for
hum. e MAIN and AUX OUTPUTS are balanced ¼" TRS
(tip-ring-sleeve) connectors, allowing you to run long lines if
neccessary with properly balanced cables. If you really have to
use unbalanced (tip-sleeve) cables, keep them as short as possible
(well under 10 feet [or 3 meters]). If you are connecting balanced
devices (3-conductor) to either Input of the MP 2S, or are send-
ing the Output to an unbalanced equalizer or amplifier, consult
the included RaneNote “Sound System Interconnection” for proper
wiring.
e MP 2S has 3 sets of Outputs. e HOUSE OUTPUT
is set by the front panel HOUSE LEVEL control. e AUX
OUTPUT is set by the rear panel screwdriver adjusted AUX
LEVEL control. e TAPE OUTPUT is fixed. All Output level

controls are independent of each other. e only Level controls
that affect all Outputs simultaneously are the PROGRAM A
and B LEVEL controls.
If you bring a phono signal into P1 or P2 be sure to keep the
PHONO switch in; likewise when connecting a CD player to
this input, be sure the PHONO switch is out.
Start with the HOUSE LEVEL all the way down so you
don't scare the neighbors. Start with the Crossfader all the way
to the left (PROGRAM A). Select an INPUT for PROGRAM
Aand another for PROGRAM B and start playing your sources.
Set the LOW and HIGH controls to the center. Adjust the
PROGR AM LEVEL controls so the bottom three (-24, -12, and
0) indicators light up. If the +12 indicator flashes, turn down its
PROGR AM LEVEL control. Now slowly turn up the HOUSE
LEVEL so you can hear things working. Moving the Crossfader
to the right brings in the source selected on PROGRAM B.
e headphone cue system is simple: e PAN controls the
headphone mix between the Program going to the HOUSE and
what is on CUE, determined by the CUE switches.
A clean Crossfader is happy, behaved and long-living. See the
Fader Cleaning instructions on page Manual-4.
