OVERVIEW
Created to model after the legendary Urei rotary mixers, the Rane MP2016a mixer brings the great sound that rotary mixers of the past were known for into the digital age. The MP2016a is a standalone product that functions like a traditional Urei 2016 but with the inclusion of the optional (not included) XP2016a board the MP2016a gets supercharged to include a 3 band EQ for each channel as well as an adjustable contour crossfader.

Other great additions include an effects loop switch, seperate booth and house outputs to be able to monitor either with headphones or in the booth (can be controlled with a switch), and split cueing which was a feature not included in the original MP2016.

Take into account the durability and great sound that Rane mixers provide and you get a rotary mixer that DJs of the past could only dream of.
