QUICK START
Here are a few basic “plug and play” steps to get you performing. If you are a first-time DJ mixer user, please do
yourself a favor and at least read this section.
Begin by making sure your amplifier is off before making connections. The MM 8z has all unbalanced connectors,
except for the ¼" balanced Main Outputs and XLR Mic Inputs. Plug a source component, such as a CD player, into one of
the four LINE Inputs on the rear. Connect the MAIN OUTPUTS to your amplifier. Set all front panel controls to the
middle of their travel and all pushbuttons to their out position. Slide the MASTER LEVEL down to 0. Set the INPUT
SELECT switch to your active Source Input. Plug in the MM 8z’s power supply and see the PWR indicator illuminate.
Turn on your source and amplifier. Slowly turn up the MASTER LEVEL, as the meters light and music is heard from the
speakers.
You can get tripped up at two places. If you have a phono signal into one of the four PH/LN Inputs, be sure the PH/LN
switch is in the PHONO position (in); likewise, when using a tape deck or CD into these Inputs, be sure the switch is in the
LINE (out) position. If you plug into the PROGRAM LOOP, the internal signal path is broken. Be sure that a complete
loop is made, to and from an outside device.
Couldn’t be easier, right?
WEAR PART
This product contains the following wear part subject to the ninety (90) day warranty period described on page Service-1:
(1) Active Crossfader Assembly F 60.
With the CROSSFADER CONTOUR set to full
counter-clockwise position, it operates as a typical constant-
power crossfader. Set to clockwise position, the crossfader
has the very steep slope as indicated in Figure 1 to the right.
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
MM 8z. 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.
