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. The MP
22 has all unbalanced RCA connectors, except for the XLR & ¼" Mic Inputs, and ¼" Mic Loop. 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.
There 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. They 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. 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 22.
This is an AC supply and requires some special attention 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.
