MM 8z

MOJO CLUB MIXER

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.
