General Description
The Rane MP 24z Mixer is the standard for night club mixers. Following the advice of the most renowned figures in the
night club market, Rane developed the MP 24z to break down
the limiting barriers of previous mixer designs.
Featuring four Stereo Input mixing Channels, each supplied
with a selection of several Phono and Line Inputs, the MP 24z
easily suits the needs of the most complex audio/video installations. A total of six Stereo Line Inputs are available plus three
Stereo Phono Inputs.
The Mic Control section of the MP 24z handles two microphones simultaneously. Both mics may be contoured by the
three-band Mic Equalizer as well as processed through a Mic
Loop jack. On the rear of the unit, an XLR low-Z Main Mic
Input with switchable Phantom Power, and a ¼" hi-Z Aux Mic
Input are both mixable.
The Output section of the MP 24z provides a Master Level
fader, four band Program Equalizer (independent of the Microphone EQ), two auxiliary output controls (Zone and Booth),
a stereo 12-segment Peak Program Meter and full Headphone
Control monitoring and cueing system.
The rear of the MP 24z, besides holding all of the normal Input and Output connectors, features a transformer isolated Light
Control Output with associated Level control, balanced XLR
Main Outputs, Program Equalizer EQ Range switch (±4 dB or
±8 dB) and a System Mono switch.
All sliders on the MP 24z are studio-quality faders as found
on high quality audio mixing consoles.
New features have been added to the MP 24z. Active Crossfader™ technology combines state of the art voltage controlled
amplifier design with a professional quality crossfader control.
This combination sets new standards for performance, reliability
and serviceability. Virtually all crossfader noise is eliminated.
Channel to channel crosstalk is greatly reduced and the off isolation of the faded channel is greatly increased. Active Crossfader
technology dramatically increases the service life of the crossfader. In the unlikely event of crossfader failure, there is no loss
of signal. If a crossfader becomes rough or noisy, it may be “hotswapped” during a performance with no interruption of the audio
signal. Simply use the input faders to set the audio levels while
the crossfader is out of service.
Each of the Phono Inputs can be converted to Line Inputs by
moving internal jumpers. Another internal jumper allows defeating the Booth Ducker circuit when the mic is activated — this
feature has been requested by those wishing to use the Booth
Output as a second record output or second zone. Another
jumper allows the Mic section to be mixed to the Tape Outs
— the default setting is “music only”.

Application Information
Extreme care must be taken when installing the MP 24z. So
many pieces of equipment all connect to the MP 24z that if proper
interconnection wiring is not done, many problems occur. Our
technical service people spend the majority of their MP 24z time in
just unraveling improperly wired systems. Everything from bad RCA
cables (common) to incorrectly grounded cables (very common) cause
unnecessary complaints. Also, many units returned for noisy Loop
related problems turn out to be problems with the unit installed in
the Loop — not with the MP 24z.
Here are a few of the important user details of the MP 24z:
The Master Level control on the front goes to 10. But what
10 means is determined by the Max Output Gain Reduction
control on the rear (out of the way of inquisitive fingers). You
limit the max gain, hence, the max output, using this control.
This allows the MP 24z to be operated at compatible maximum
levels for the system power amps.
Likewise, the Peak Program Meters are calibrated by the rear
mounted Meter Sensitivity Adjust control. Output levels ranging
from 0.6V to 10V may be set to indicate full scale on the Meters.
Once calibrated, this means when all LEDs are lit you know the
system is, in fact, at maximum level.
The labeling on the Program Equalizer control knobs indicate Max or Min at their extremes. What this means is again
determined by a switch on the rear panel. You have two choices:
±4 dB or ±8 dB, both modest amounts. You determine what the
system allows in the way of maximum added EQ and set it. The
operator is happy because they can rotate the pots to their extremes, and you are happy because you know this cannot destroy
anything. Everybody wins with an MP 24z.
