Cable Wiring
In agreement with IEC and AES/ANSI
standards, XLR wiring convention is pin 2
Positive (hot), pin 3 Negative (cold), and
pin 1 chassis grounded and signal grounded
(to allow unbalanced operation). The XLR
case is chassis grounded.
Power ON switch and LED
Your basic, straightforward power switch.
When the switch is depressed and the
yellow LED is lit, the MC 22 is ready to go.
CHANNEL 2 controls
These duplicate the controls in Channel 1.
LINK switch
Switch this to ON when using stereo
material. This activates both Compressors
when either Channel’s signal exceeds the set
Threshold, preserving stereo imaging.
CHANNEL 1 INPUT
Choose between the balanced XLR or the
balanced/unbalanced ¼" TRS jacks, but
only use one. Inserting a ¼" TS jack will
work—however—use balanced lines,
especially when connecting cables over 10
feet in length. Consult SOUND SYSTEM
INTERCONNECTION on page Manual-10.
CHANNEL 1 OUTPUT
Use either the balanced XLR or the unbal-
anced ¼" TS jack. Using both types of
Outputs are permissible to drive two devices,
such as an amplifier and a recorder.
This
device uses low impedance balanced line
drivers.
Do not
connect the XLR “+” or “–”
output pins to ground, as this may cause the
power supply to shut down. For unbalanced
use, leave the unused output pin (“+” or
“–”) unterminated.
