Rane Universal Remote MP 44 Data Sheet

VOLUME REMOTE

The MP 44's REMOTE LEVEL port provides a means to 

control the level of the MASTER mix from a remote location. 

The range of control is 0 dB to -40 dB. Applications include 

”gain riding” DJs, setting a comfortable listening level from a 

remote location and reducing the maximum available gain.

A port for a wired Remote Level control is provided for each 

of the six Outputs. Using the optional VR 1 Remote control pro-

vides an audio taper response from 0 dB to > -80 dB. To control 

Turn the power to the unit off until all connections are made. 

It is important to ensure that the Remote Ports are not subjected 

to sustained voltages outside the range of 0 to 5 VDC or high 

levels of static. Inputs are protected, however, caution is the 

better part of... you know. It is a good idea to install the wiring, 

connect it to the Remote and then make the final connections at 

the Remote Port.

Do not short the Vr pin to ground. This pin is current lim-

ited; however, excess heat is generated in the 5 V supply if a short 

occurs. Never subject the Vr pin to voltages above 5 V.

The VR 1 remote assembly mounts in a standard U.S. electri-

cal box with a minimum depth of 2.25" (5.5 cm). Use the flat 

head #6 screws supplied with the kit to mount the remote assem-

bly and silk-screened front panel to the electrical box.

Install the knob so that the line on the knob is properly 

aligned with the silk-screening on the front panel of the remote. 

Install any Decora plate of your choice. For a secured installa-

tion, you may wish to leave the knobs off and use a blank Decora 

plate to cover the remote after adjustment.

Be sure to note the wire color of each input in order to facili-

tate correct wiring to the controlled unit. If the ground or shield 

wire is left shorter, it acts as a strain relief for the other wires. 

Connect each wire to the 3-pin connector by fully inserting it in 

the correct socket and tightening the screw. Make sure wires are 

free of nicks and that the cable jacket is stripped back sufficiently 

to allow it to lie in the electrical box with the remote assembly 

inserted.
