POWER
The MC3.1 will be supplied with an external switching mode power supply that is
capable of 100-240Vac continuous (90-264Vac max) and so should work globally,
but is supplied with a cable suitable for domestic power outlets in your country. We
strongly advise that the power supply that has been supplied with the MC3.1 is used,
rather than one with the equivalent ratings. The push button switch turns the MC3.1
on/off. (see Power Connection).
Note that a timed relay protection circuit has been incorporated into the MC3.1 to
prevent bangs and other potentially harmful artifacts from occurring during power up
and power down.

Also, note that, when activating Left or Right Cut whilst using headphones the
signal is not 100% panned one way or the other - i.e. the signal centre moves to the
side but is not completely removed from the opposite ear of the headphone - this
is so that the
Left/Right Cut sounds a little more natural, after all, if listening through
speakers with only the left speaker active some of the signal well reach the right
ear a few milliseconds later.
Mono : With the switch active both Left and Right stereo signals are combined into
a single mono signal.
It is necessary when testing the audio to not only listen to the signal in stereo but
also in mono. It helps to outline problems in the mix, but also when testing for use
on non-standard applications such as for broadcast or mobile phone.
Dim : With the switch active the output level is attenuated by 20dB’s. It enables you
to lower the volume without adjusting any of the settings.
