Connections Mixer Inputs • One stereo Phono / CD input is provided for each of the four channels on a red and white pair of RCA jacks. If your CD players have S/PDIF outputs, connect these to the orange S/PDIF inputs. Each channel may be set for PH, CD or SP using rear panel slide switches. Set unused inputs to CD. Connect your turntable ground wires to the ground posts provided on the rear panel when using PH inputs. • Computer control panel: Phono Sensitivity adjustment to match source levels.
Deck Input Channels Source Selectors The source selectors choose the active USB port, USB audio slot or analog input for each input channel. To use USB playback you must assign the USB slots in your DJ or DAW software preferences panel. Deck 1 Source Selections Deck 2 Source Selections Deck 3 Source Selections Deck 4 Source Selections Port A playback for Deck 1 • USB audio slots 1-2. • Routes audio and MIDI for Deck 1 only to/from USB Port A. Port A playback for Deck 2 • USB audio slots 3-4.

Why add a Submix to a DJ mixer? One huge leap forward in DJ technology is the introduction of auto sync. Using CDJs, Traktor, Virtual DJ, Ableton, or most any DJ software, the sync feature opens the gates to creative multisource mixing. New technology offers new possibilities, and might make you rethink how you mix. A Submix removes the burden of having to simultaneously manage separate gain, EQ, and filter controls for multiple channels when mixing multiple sources.
Submix Signal Flow Starting from the Source selectors, the signal passes through the Gain, Tone, Filter and Mix controls. This graphic has the SUB buttons, Session In and FX control positions re-arranged to more easily see the signal flow. • If SUB is not pressed (see Decks 1 and 2) then the signal goes to the FX Loop (if it's on), then the ISO EQ (if it's on), then to the Main Outputs.
Microphone Input The mic input has these controls: • On / Off switch turns the mic on or off. • Duck momentarily ducks other inputs by 10 dB (by about 1/3). • Gain control sets the mic level. • One-knob spectral tilt Tone control: • Increasing highs reduces lows by the same amount. • Decreasing highs increases lows by the same amount. • A rear panel switch has 3 positions for different mic types: • Line level accepts the output from a wireless mic receiver. • Mic level is suitable for a dynamic mic.
USB Audio There are seven stereo record channels and five stereo playback channels. These channels are available on two USB ports, allowing two computers to share the device. This allows two DJs to play together, and supports uninterrupted transitions between them. USB audio is 24-bit PCM with a sample rate of 44.1, 48 or 96 kHz. Sample rate and USB slot assignments are made in the preferences screen in your DJ or digital audio workstation software.
DJ Changeover One of the biggest challenges of digital DJing has been seamlessly changing over from one DJ to the next and playing back-to-back DJ sets. With the dual USB architecture of the MP2015 mixer, changeover between digital DJs has never been easier. PH/CD 1 AUX 1B 1A PH/CD 2 AUX 2B 2A PH/CD 3 AUX 3B 3A PH/CD 4 AUX 4B 4A Deck Changeover Controls At the top of each input channel is the Source Selector SOURCE SOURCE SOURCE SOURCE to switch input sources.
Class Compliant USB Ports The USB ports are 100% class compliant, connecting to Mac OSX without the need for an additional driver. A highperformance ASIO driver runs most Windows DAW and DJ software. MIDI end points are class compliant with both OSX and Windows devices. Mac and Windows Control Panel installers with additional mixer settings are included on the CDROM with the MP2015, and current versions available from the Downloads link in the MP2015 page at dj.rane.com.
Port MIDI Enable enables MIDI commands to/from the MP2015 Mixer controls at the current USB Port. Default is Off. Port MIDI Channel assigns MIDI channel 1-16 to the MP2015 Mixer at the current USB Port. Default is MIDI channel 1. USB Port Status indicates the connection status of both USB ports. Active indicates a USB connection between the mixer and a computer. Local shows the USB Port connected to this control panel's computer. The Buffer Size control allows the USB buffer to be increased or decreased.
