5. 

Connect a balanced or unbalanced analog audio output device (such as a DSP device or an amplifier) to the 5-pole captive 
screw Audio Out connector (see 

figure 1

K

 on the previous page) for 2-Ch audio from the selected input. This connector is 

configurable via VCS or SIS as two discrete mono outputs or as one stereo output (see “Audio Wiring” for details).

6. 

If the MGP 641 will be connected to a computer or to a host  controller for remote control, connect an RS-232 cable from 
the host  to the Tx, Rx, and G pins (the remaining two pins are not used) of the 5-pole Remote RS-232 rear panel connector 
(see 

figure 1

L

), or to the front panel USB mini-B Config port (see figure 2

A

). The default protocol for the RS-232 port is 

9600 baud, 1 stop bit, no parity, and 8 data bits, with no flow control.
Alternatively, connect an  RJ-45 network cable to the rear panel LAN port for remote configuration and control. 

7. 

Connect power to the MGP by plugging a standard IEC power cord (provided) from a 100 to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz power 
source into the AC power connector (see 

figure 1

A

).

8. 

Apply power to all other devices.

Audio Wiring

Wire the audio output connectors as  
shown at right. Use the supplied tie wrap 
to strap the audio cable to the extended 
tail of the connector. 

ATTENTION:

 

• 

For unbalanced outputs, do not connect wires to the “-” poles.

• 

Pour les sorties asymétriques, ne connectez pas de câbles aux pôles « - » .

NOTE:

  The length of exposed wires is important. The ideal length is 3/16 inch (5 mm).
