10 Top and Rear Panels These adjust the [MIC IN] sensitivity. (p. 17) 10. [PEAK] Indicators These light up when the input level exceeds the set value. (p. 17) 11. [PHANTOM/PHASE/LO-CUT] Buttons These call up the Phantom power switches, plus the Phase, Lo-cut, and Attenuator setting screens.
11 Function Organization and Signal Flow Function Organization and Signal Flow The diagram below shows how the functions are organized, and how the signals flow.
12 Set Up and Basic Operations This chapter introduces the basic functions of the MMP-2 in the following order, which you should follow in getting started with your new unit. Read through this in sequence as you try things out for yourself. Getting Ready to Switch on the Power ■ Making the Connections fig.
13 Set Up and Basic Operations Set Up and Basic Operations Connecting the Input Device Microphone Input (MIC IN) Use the XLR or phone plug to connect the input device. fig.MicInPin.eps * Microphone input for the unit uses a balanced-type (XLR/TRS) jack which is wired as shown in the figure.
14 Set Up and Basic Operations Global Functions Save pressing [ENTER] button When you change system parameters or input parameters, the [ENTER] button lights up. This indicates that there are changes that have not been saved. Pressing the [ENTER] button saves them immediately.
15 Set Up and Basic Operations Set Up and Basic Operations Patch Selection (SELECT) The alphabet character shown upper left side of the patch number is showing the status of patch. (U) to be indicated if it is a user patch. (P) to be indicated if it is a preset patch.
16 Set Up and Basic Operations 4. Re-press [ENTER]. Reset will be executed. Once the reset is completed, system go back to normal screen after indicating “ Completed. ” on screen. ■ Meters Press the [METER] button to select from the three types of level meters.
17 Set Up and Basic Operations Set Up and Basic Operations Settings for the Analog Inputs ■ Pad Pressing either of these switches attenuates the MIC IN input signal by 20 dB. You use these at times such as when devices other than microphones are connected.
18 Set Up and Basic Operations ■ Phase fig.MicInPin.eps The microphone input jacks for this unit are balanced. The jack wiring is shown in the figure. However, Hot and Cold may be reversed of MMP-2 on some balanced equipment. If such equipment is connected, sound localization may be poor, or the balance of left and right will be disrupted.
19 Using Effects Using Effects The effects this unit provides are divided into four groups, which are respectively assigned to the four [EDIT SELECT] buttons [MODEL], [EQ], [DYNAMICS], and [PLUG IN]. The functional algorithms are pre-set according to the types of patches (p.
20 Using Effects Modeling Microphone (OUTPUT) This table shows the choices for different microphones or microphone types that the effect will model. When you select a condenser microphone modeling for “ OUTPUT, ” lower range response is extended, so bass noise from the microphone stand may become prominent.
21 Using Effects Using Effects Because you can make the settings anywhere within this range, it ’ s even possible, for instance, to set all four points so they ’ re stacked at the same location, and create a sharp filter. * A frequency 3 dB lower than the flat portion of the response curve is taken to be the cutoff frequency.
22 Using Effects Compressor Type (TYPE) This chooses the type of compressor. “ SOLID ” : Semiconductor compressor characteristics “ TUBE1 ” ... ” TUBE4 ” : Vacuum-tube compressor characteristics Key In Channel (KEY IN) The compressor operates when the input level of the channel specified here exceeds the threshold.
23 Using Effects Using Effects ■ Expander This lowers or suppresses, at a constant ratio, low-volume sounds that do not reach the threshold. It is effective for low-volume noise. Expander OFF/ON (EXP) This is the On/Off switch for the expander effect.
24 Using Effects Enhance Level (ENHLEV) This is to set the level to increase. The level can be set from 0.0 dB to 12.0 dB. This is not available for de-esser. De-esser Rejection Level (DESREJ) This is to set the level to decrease. The level can be set from -24.
25 Using Effects Using Effects Bright This parameter adjusts the brightness of the input sound by changing the high frequency content's balance. Brightness Frequency (BRT F) This sets the lower limit of this parameter. The sound components that are of a higher frequency than this parameter will be adjusted.
26 Settings for Digital Connections When you change the digital-connection settings, sound may stop momentarily until the new settings are in place. ■ Sampling Clock Source Select the source of sampling clock. fig.LcdClock.eps 1. Press the [SYSTEM] button several times to display “ CLOCK.
27 Examples of Use Examples of Use This section shows some examples of how you can use the MMP-2. * Before hooking up or turning on any equipment, make sure the volume on all devices is turned down. Analog Input to Analog Output The microphone input is output from the MMP-2 as an analog signal and sent to a recording device or a mixer.
28 Other Features ■ Channel Linking This interlinks the effect parameters for the two channels. You can use it with stereo recording or other applications. Input parameters are not linked. Linking Hold down the [EDIT CH SELECT] button for channel 1 and press the [EDIT CH SELECT] button for channel 2.
29 Other Features Other Features 2. Press [PAGE] button several times to display “ RECOVER ” on screen. 3. Operate external devices like computer to start sending/receiving signal. ■ Route Select one of the following routings from input to output.
