e Headphone Monitor provides stereo or mono Split Cue
operation.

and the stereo Main Mix.
• In Split Cue operation, the Pan control pans between Mono
Cue in the left ear and mono Main Mix in the right ear.
• Individual Cue buttons are provided for PGM 1, PGM 2,
PGM 3, PGM 4 and the FlexFX Loop.
• e Headphone Level control sets the level in both the front
panel 3.5 mm and ¼˝ output jacks.
• e headphone output includes 2-band full-cut tone controls.
Tone control range is O to +6 dB. ese headphone tone
controls are adjusted from the computer using the MP25
driver control panel.
Main Mix and Main/Zone Outputs
e Main Mix is made from MIC 1, MIC 2, PGM 1, PGM 2,
PGM 3, PGM 4 and the FlexFX Mix.
• Mono the Main Mix by pressing the front panel Mono but-
ton. To mono only a specic output, use the rear panel Mono
switch on the Main Outs, or the auto-mono single plug feature
of the Zone and Booth Outs.
• Apply eects to the entire Main Mix by engaging the Main
Mix (blue) FlexFX button. is button instantly sends PGMs
1-4 and Mic 1-2 to the FlexFX Bus.
• e Main Mix is metered using a stereo rms/peak signal meter
with peak-hold.
e Main Mix feeds these outputs:
• Main Outs
• Front panel Balance and Level controls manage the relative
(left/right) and overall levels respectively.
• e rear panel Mono switch combines the left and right
channels of the Main output, and an attenuator controls
the Max Out dB from 8 Vrms (0 dB) to 0.5 Vrms (-24 dB).
• e Main Output is available on balanced XLR and unbal-
anced RCA connectors.
• Booth and Zone Outs
• Front panel Booth and Zone Level controls adjust the cor-
responding output level.
• Booth and Zone Outputs are available on balanced ¼˝
TRS jacks. Left and right jacks automatically provide a
mono signal if the other plug is not inserted.
• Record Outs
• Stereo unbalanced RCA and S/PDIF outputs.
• e S/PDIF output is a 24-bit 48 kHz digital output.
• e Main Mix, Mic 1, or Mic 2, may be recorded via USB
record channel six. Record source selection is made in the
computer’s MP25 driver control panel.
Magnetic Crossfader
e MP25’s crossfader is a eld replaceable, no-noise, no-bleed
magnetic fader.
• Assign each PGM channel to the A-side, B-side or Post-Cross-
fader with switches in the program strips.
• Select one of three crossfader slopes with the Contour switch.
Crossfader Questions and Answers
Q: Can I install magnetic crossfaders in any other mixer?
A: e connectors may be similar, but the circuits are very dier-
ent. Connecting the fader to anything other than the intend-
ed cable in the MP25 could permanently damage it.
Q: Can I install another crossfader in my MP25?
A: No. e cable connections are specially designed for Rane
magnetic faders.
See "Faders" on page 14.
