QSC MP-M40 8X4 Music and Paging Mixer/Processor

The QSC MP-M40, music and paging mixer are fixed architecture mixer/processor offering unprecedented capabilities combined with ease of configuration and operation. The products are intended for retail and hospitality applications in which high-quality audio from various sources is routed to multiple zones. Live mixing functions are also supported for applications requiring reinforcement of entertainment, presentations or conferences.

The MP-M40 music and paging mixers offer unprecedented capabilities for processing and routing high-quality foreground/ background audio for multi-zone retail and hospitality applications, and provides live mixing functionality for business applications that also require live speech reinforcement, including fitness clubs, hotel meeting rooms,  banquet halls etc.

The MP-M80 has eight mic/line inputs, eight line inputs and eight zone outputs while the MP-M40 has four mic/line inputs, four line inputs and four zone outputs. Each line input features dual phono jacks (summed to mono) for easy connection to the sources typically found in business music installations. Both models are equipped with cue bus outputs for auditioning zones and tracks, a USB port for storing and recalling design files, presets and scenes (beyond the mixer’s internal memory), both conveniently located on the front panel. They also include two general purpose inputs for external control triggers, and an Ethernet port for connection to a wireless router to allow your system to gain access to the designer and end user control apps (MP Install and MP Manage.)

Input processing: All inputs feature comprehensive processing including high and low-pass filters, 4-band parametric EQ, a gate and a dynamics processor that may be configured as an automatic gain control (AGC) or a compressor. The processing is responsive and musical. Output Processing: Any combination of input channels may be designated as sources for any output zone. Two input channels may be designated as priority sources that will ‘duck’ the selected input channel for paging/ announcements or to allow a higher-priority source to take over. There are also processing blocks for auto-loudness, equalization (1/3 octave GEQ) and limiting. All output channels include 12 anti-feedback notch filters with a wizard to assist in setting the filters. Loudspeaker processing: A dedicated loudspeaker processing section contains preset Intrinsic Correction voicings for QSC loudspeakers to maximize the value of the systems. Users may also create, save and recall their own loudspeaker voices using the 6-band fully-parametric equalizer along with high-pass and low-pass filters with a choice of filters (Linkwitz-Riley or Butterworth) and slope (12, 18 or 24 dB/octave). Mixer: An integral stereo mixer may be used for reinforcement of live performance or for conference/presentation mixing. Effects processing and a gain sharing automatic microphone mixer are both available. Any inputs can be assigned to the mixer and its output may be assigned to any combination of output zones.

QSC MP-M40 Features

• Easy configuration and design: MP Install app gives you an attractive graphic user environment with an intuitive workflow and controls that make it simple to manage all the inputs and outputs.
• Workflow Wizard: Helps the installer keep track of tasks and easily navigate the mixer.
• QSC loudspeaker voicings: Apply Intrinsic Correction™ (factory FIR/IIR presets) to QSC loudspeakers to maximize the performance and value of the system.
• Customized control level: Fine tune controls to allow as much or as little as the installation requires on the available MP-M Series control peripherals.
• Wired/wireless control options: Use optional MP-MFC wall-mounted controllers with graphic display to control zone source selection, zone output levels, input level selection and scene recall. MP Manage app expands these control options with wireless, more granular controls. In both cases, facility staff may be restricted to only those controls that they are authorized to use.
• Complimentary aesthetics: MP-M Series mixers match the appearance aesthetic of the QSC MP-A Series music and paging amplifiers for an installation that looks as good as it sounds.
