STANDARD INSTALLATION
When operating the MP7 be sure to mind the following notes:
1.A red LED next to the meter instruments that is constantly lit signals that the corresponding channel is on the verge of clipping! Use the Gain-control of the corresponding channel to reduce the audio signal level until the red LED lights only during program peaks.
2.Avoid extreme output levels. The MP7 is no “HiFi-toy”!
Employing high-quality, high-performance PA-speaker systems, like the CP12-1 and CP12-2, allows sound reproduction at extreme high sound pressure levels, which bares the risk of resulting hearing damage. The same is true for the headphones output. Do not expose your ears to high sound pressure levels over an extended period of time. The use of closed DJ-type headphones provides improved shielding against outer noise and is therefore strongly recommended. Using these types of headphones automatically leads to reducing the sound level settings.
3.The Master-EQ is primarily aimed for making minor corrections in the overall sound only. Employing high-quality loudspeaker systems is the best guarantee for a perfect sound, even with the Master-EQ being deactivated.
4.Make sure to carefully test all components of the entire system prior to a live-performance. Test the system set to the output level, which you are going to use during the later performance.
This is the only way to ensure that you are not facing feedback or other problems with the connected gear resulting from vibration, shock or other sources during the later performance.
5.However, it is good advice to check the system’s overall sound quality as well as the volume setting during a performance and make corrections, if necessary.
Example 1: Extending your system with an add-on subwoofer for more bass pressure is displayed in fig. 1.
Ask your local dealer before extending your system!
Example 2: In Fig. 3 you can see how to control larger PA-Systems with your MP7. Simply connect the MASTER A outputs with the external system amplifier and the MASTER B outputs with the POWER AMP INPUTS of the MP7.
The volume of the Main-PA is controlled by the master fader, like before. MASTER B drives the internal amplifiers and provides a full-stereo monitoring via two additional monitor cabinets.
