dj gear. ~ Rane MM 42 Personal Monitor Processor Rane's MM 42 Monitor Processor fulfills the demanding needs of performers and engineers striving to optimize personal monitor systems while ensuring a safe, dynamic mix. ~ Connected in-line between a mixing console and a wired or wireless monitor system, the MM 42 processes a single stereo mix or two independent mono mixes using Shelf/Cut Filters, 3-band Compressor, 5-band Parametric EQ, and 3-band Peak Limiter. ~ An assignable Sub (low frequency) output with adjustable bandpass filter is included for direct connection to powered subwoofers or bass "shakers" without requiring an external crossover. ~ The on-board headphone amp (1/4" and 1/8" jacks) and Cue Bus functionality permit easy setup and monitoring of multiple mixes. ~ Process a single stereo mix or two independent mono mixes using the MM 42's flexible input to output routing. ~ Any combination of the MM 42's four line-level inputs is assignable to any output processing chain. ~ The relative mix of inputs is easily adjusted using front panel level controls, making "more me" mixes a breeze. ~ Create a separate low-frequency mix for driving onstage subwoofers, or tactile "thumpers" using the Sub Output with adjustable bandpass filter. ~ Any input or combination of inputs is assignable to the Sub Output. ~ External crossover not required! Connect multiple MM 42s together using the Cue Bus and avoid the hassle of having to constantly re-patch headphones when monitoring more than one mix. ~ Any mix can be placed on the cue bus and monitored (soloed) simply by pressing the desired mix's CUE BUS button. ~ Connect the dedicated Cue Outputs on the rear panel to a spare transmitter or hardwired beltpack and hear the mix exactly as the performer hears it. ~ Add low frequency thump and high frequency sparkle to a mix using the adjustable Low and High Shelf/Cut Filters. ~ Control the dynamics of a mix with precision using the 3-Band Compressor. ~ Adjustable crossover frequencies allow you to easily tame excess low end, while keeping the vocals and guitars clear and present. ~ Use the 5-Band Parametric EQ to improve the overall sound of the mix. ~ Uses range from simple, broad sweetening effects to precise boosts or cuts to account for a performer's hearing loss or a particular earphone's response. ~ Protect the performer's hearing and keep output levels under control using the 3-Band Peak Limiter. ~ The Limiter's crossover frequencies are fully adjustable and independent of the Compressor's crossover settings. ~ Monitor the mix pre- or post-processing using the on-board headphone amp. ~ Both 1/4" phone and 1/8" mini jacks are offered on the front panel. ~ In many cases the headphone amp can replace a hardwired beltpack for the less mobile musicians on stage -- the drummer or keyboard player, for example. ~ Save precious Aux outputs on the mixing console by using the Direct Outputs to daisy chain (pass-through) a common mix or mixes across multiple MM 42s. ~ Feed a band's stereo mix through to multiple MM 42s lighting; dj gear; drum sticks; orchesta percussion; electric drums; acoustic drums; percussion; drums; midi; sound modules; groove stations; arrangers; portable keyboards; digital pianos; workstations; synths; electric bass; bass; amps; acoustic guitar; electric guitar; musical instruments;
