he Jeff Rowland Design Group MC-6 Power Amplifier has been
designed with numerous protection circuits and to be able to
operate at the highest level of performance in any normal operating
situation. However, there are a few important use and care
principles that must be kept in mind when operating the amplifier.
•
Do not expose the amplifier to rain, moisture, or excessively
damp conditions.
•
Do not disconnect the amplifier from AC mains without first
placing the amplifier in Standby mode.
•
The MC-6 Multi-Channel Power Amplifier must not be modified in
any way, other than according to official service bulletins from
Jeff Rowland Design Group. Otherwise, the factory warranty will
be immediately voided.
•
The MC-6 Multi-Channel Power Amplifier can be operated at a
nominal 100, 115, 200, or 230 volts AC. For this reason, you
should first assure that the amplifier has been wired for the
correct AC input voltage before operation.
•
As the MC-6 generates a significant amount of heat, it should not
be placed in a cabinet or area where the heatsinks are not able
to properly dissipate heat during operation. Please make sure
adequate ventilation is provided.
•
To clean the MC-6 Multi-Channel Power Amplifier, use a soft cloth
moistened with plain water. Never apply water, dusting sprays,
solvents, abrasives, or cleaning fluids directly to the chassis!
•
When operating the MC-6, a properly grounded AC receptacle
should be used. A potential shock hazard may result if the
supplied 3-wire, grounded AC cord set ground terminal is
defeated or lifted or the unit is connected to a 2-wire
ungrounded AC outlet.

he MC-6 Multi-Channel Power Amplifier offers unprecedented
channel configuration capability and compatibility with associated
audio components. When connecting or disconnecting speaker or
interconnect cables, it is always necessary to place the amplifier in
Standby mode (FRONT PANEL STANDBY/POWER BUTTON not
illuminated or OFF).
Complete instructions for configuring and connecting the amplifier
can be found in the next portion of this manual.
Please also note that any changes or updates to the manual will be
posted on the Jeff Rowland Design Group web site at

Warning:
Warning:
Both positive and negative outputs are electrically
active with respect to chassis and/or system ground potential!
Therefore, this amplifier cannot be used in certain loudspeaker
switching configurations, such as those used in retail
demonstrations. Failure to avoid these precautions can result in
damage to the amplifier and will void the warranty.
