The MM 42 Monitor Processor from Rane 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 unit can process a single stereo mix or two independent mono mixes using filters, a three-band compressor, five-band parametric EQ and a three-band peak limiter.
An assignable low frequency output with adjustable band-pass filter is included for direct connection to powered subwoofers or bass "shakers" without requiring an external crossover. The on-board headphone amp and cue bus functionality permit easy setup and monitoring of multiple mixes. 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.
Multiple MM 42s can be connected together using the cue bus to 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. Connecting the dedicated cue outputs on the rear panel to a spare transmitter or hardwired belt-pack allows the engineer to hear a mix exactly as the performer hears it.
Controlling the dynamics of a mix is achieved with precision using the three-band compressor. Adjustable crossover frequencies allow for taming excess low end, while keeping the vocals and guitars clear and present. The five-band parametric EQ can be used 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.
The performer's hearing is protected and output levels kept under control using the three-band peak limiter. The limiter's crossover frequencies are fully adjustable and independent of the compressor's crossover settings. Memory presets recall and adjustment of parameters can be achieved remotely via MIDI. Sys Ex is also used to backup system settings and for device firmware updates.
