No longer available at zZounds
Keep your jams pumpin' with the full EQ options, USB hook ups, and other useful plug-ins and playback options of this sturdy rack-mountable club mixer.

Meet the Rane MP25 mixer, satisfying the audio and ergonomic demands of performing DJs, in a 19-inch rack format preferred by nightclubs, with a compact 4U design that drops easily into a mobile rig. It's the same height as a classic Rane MM 8z, MP 24 or MP 22 series Mixer.

Sporting two microphone inputs, four studio-grade phono preamps, four analog aux inputs, four low-latency stereo USB inputs, analog and USB effects insert loops, and a variety of analog and digital outputs; the MP25 remains rooted in analog tradition while reaching greater heights of digital connectivity.

Reliable, low-latency, multi-client ASIO and Core Audio drivers interface the MP25's 22 USB audio channels directly to your favorite multitrack mixing, beat-making, looping, effects, and recording applications. Additionally, the MP25's front panel controls are MIDI enabled, allowing manipulation of software parameters directly from the mixer's control surface.

- Four stereo Auxiliary inputs.
- Four stereo USB playback inputs.
- Two microphone inputs with optional Talkover ducking:

Side Panel

The Rane MP25 fits in a 19-inch rack, the same height as a MM 8z, MP 24 or MP 22 series Mixer. The jacks are recessed, allowing connectors to fit inside a mobile coffin.

USB Features

- 22 streaming USB audio channels.
- Four stereo playback channels stream audio directly from your favorite playback, mixing, beat-making, and looping applications to the MP25's digital mixer engine.
- Four stereo record channels stream the four post-fader program channels to your audio application for multitrack recording.
- A fifth stereo record channel streams Mic 1, Mic 2, or the Main Mix to your recording application.
- The USB Effects Loop enables insertion of any available stereo computer-based VST effects processors into the MP25's powerful FlexFX bus.
- Low-latency ASIO / Core Audio drivers eliminate delay between the control input to audio software and the audible result.
- Multiclient ASIO / Core Audio drivers allow multiple software applications to simultaneously stream audio to and from the mixer.
- The MP25 MIDI device exposes the MP25 front panel as a MIDI controller, allowing control of audio application parameters using the mixer's control surface.

ASIO and Core Audio software applications are compatible with the MP25, which includes a low-latency, USB 2.0, high-speed, 10-input, 12-output audio interface. The MP25 front panel controls are MIDI-mappable in supporting software. Features will vary between software programs.

For example, in Ableton Live, the MP25 can be used as a multichannel sound card and MIDI controller. You can stream audio from four different audio tracks from Ableton to separate channels of the MP25 mixer, including a dedicated USB audio channel for FlexFX routing, and simultaneously record multitrack or stereo audio back into Ableton Live.

"The Rane MP25 Simply Awesome!"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
The Rane MP25 is the best compact 19 inch rackmount club/mobile mixer on the market today. I bought it to retire my Urei 1620 and Rane MP2016 on my high end mobile system. And as an alternative to my DJM900. It takes up very little rack space in my dj coffin which leaves room for other gear. The sound quality is amazing and the features are limitless. I can play vinyl, cds and dj software all together at the same time. This mixer gives maximum flexibility. Highly Recommended!

Sound
The MP25 is one of the best sounding mixers period. It is in the same league as the Urei 1620, Rane MP2016, Allen & Heath, etc. The sound is warm, clean, clear and very musical with smooth detailed mids and highs plus clean, tight and deep bass. I only use high end audiophile cables (XLO, Oyaide, AudioQuest, etc.) in my system, from the interconnects, usb and ethernet cables, to the speaker and power cables.

Features
The Rane MP25 is full of features you want. 3 band EQ with full cut, gain, led meters, plus a filter knob on each channel. You can assign any input to any or all channels. Master, booth and zone outputs give maximum flexibility. You can use turntables, cdj or any music software via usb. I like the fact that i can add effects from Traktor Pro or any other software to any or all inputs via the usb flex fx. It has an effects loop for connecting anything from signal processors to effects box and is assignable to any channel or master. read more Plus full dry/wet and level control for the effects. The Flex FX is a great feature, it let's you add effects to any or all channels. The usb and digital output let's you record and archive your mix or music collection. The list of features and possiblities goes on and on.

Ease of Use
It is very straight forward and easy to use. Even the usb is relatively easy to figure out.

Quality
The quality is as good as you can get. The MP25 was built for the most demanding high end clubs or mobile systems.

Value
The MP25 is an awesome value considering all you get and the level of build and sound quality.
