OPERATORS MANUAL
QUICK START
If you have used just about any DJ mixer on the planet, you will instantly feel at home using the MP 44. Extra care was
taken to ensure that controls are where you expect them to be, and operate as you expect them to.
The MP 44 has some unique features not found on other DJ mixers. It is important that you read at least this portion of
the manual so that you get the maximum benefit from these unique features. As you refer through the rest of this manual (as
you should to get the most of it), front panel controls are on the left side of each page, rear panels are on the right.

High performance Master Limiter affects both House and Booth signals. This control is located on the rear panel and
screw driver adjust to prevent tampering. The Limiter is a safety net designed to protect ears and equipment.
Automatic Emergency Page Input provides a means to automatically interrupting all program material and broadcast
emergency messages at a pre set level. The EMERGENCY PAGE level is set independent of HOUSE- and BOOTH
LEVEL control settings. The EMERGENCY PAGE LEVEL control is a recessed, screw driver adjusted control
located on the rear panel to prevent tampering after installation. See page Manual-6 for more details.
Remote DC Master Level Control Port provides a means to control the level of the MASTER mix from a remote
location. The range of control is 0 dB to –40 dB. Applications include "gain riding" DJs, setting a comfortable listening
level from a remote location and reducing the maximum available gain. To use the optional VR 1 Remote Control,
simply connect like labeled pins together. Shielded wire is recommended. See page Manual-7 for more details.
DJ Features Section
High performance Master Limiter affects both House and Booth signals. The Limiter is a safety net designed to protect
ears and equipment. Under normal operating conditions, the LIMIT indicator should only flash occasionally. If you are
running gains high enough to cause hard limiting, faders and tone controls will not respond as expected. For example, if
you run signal levels 10 dB over the Limit threshold, you must turn signal levels down 10 dB before you hear a reduc-
tion in level. See page Manual-5 for more details.
3-band Tone Controls with full cut (off to +6 dB) on each of the four Input Buses. You know what to do with this!
FlexFX™ assignment allows any combination of the four Input Buses to be processed by the FlexFX Loop, regardless of
A-side, B-side or Post crossfader assignment! See page Manual-3 for details
WARNING: Do not operate this unit without the line cord earth ground connected. To do so may increase the risk of
electric shock and increase line cord conducted emissions.
