MODE ADAPTER FEATURES

1.  ADAPTER POST SOCKETS - 

Four recessed sockets used to align 

Adapter Posts, to secure multiple Adapters and prevent damage to 
Adapter Bus Pins.

2.  DIN RAIL SLOT AND CLIPS -

mounted using standard DIN Rail (not included). Red clips slide over 
the rail section to hold the Adapter in place. ‘Stacked’ Adapters can 
also be mounted on DIN Rail.

3.  WALL MOUNT SCREW HOLES - 

These holes allow the MODE 

Adapter to be mounted fl at against a wall or cabinet side.

4.  12 PIN INTERCONNECT - 

Connect to the 12 pin socket on the bot-

tom of a stacked Adapter. This connection creates a power, metadata 
and control bus that allows stacking multiple MODE Adapters.

5.  LOCKING PIN SLOT - 

Round opening on the top of the Adapter 

used to receive and lock Locking Pins when stacking multiple Adapt-
ers.

6.  ADAPTER POSTS - 

Four round posts on the bottom of the Adapter 

protect the 12 Pin Interconnect when single Adapters are used and 
fi t into the Adapter Post Sockets when stacking multiple Adapters to 
hold Adapters in place and prevent damage to the interconnects.

7.  LINE OUT - 

3.5mm mini jack outputs stereo line level audio. Con-

nects to MZC Source Input via the included 10 foot stereo mini-plug 
to RCA interconnect cable. When stacking multiple Adapters, each 
Adapter must be connected to a dedicated Source Input on the MZC.

8.  EXPANSION PORT -

the MZC Rear Panel to Rx/Tx control and metadata between the MZC

an additional source. This could be anything from a cable/satellite receiver, to an XM or Sirius Tuner or a DVD player 
allowing up to 12 Sources on an MZC-66 or 14 Sources on an MZC-88 (including on-board tuners). Switching to and 
controlling the sources connected to this input must be confi gured during setup in EZ-Tools. Only MODE Keypads have 
access and control of the devices connected to the Aux Inputs. EZ-Pads do not have access to or control of these devices.

10. 12 PIN INTERCONNECT SOCKET - 

12 pin socket connects to the 12 Pin Interconnect on the top of a stacked Adapter. 

This connection creates a power, metadata and control bus that allows stacking multiple MODE Adapters.

11. LOCKING PIN - 

Metal post on the Adapter bottom fi ts into the Locking Pin Slot when stacking Adapters. Use a medium 

size fl at head screwdriver to turn the post and lock the stacked Adapters together.

12. iPOD BASE RJ45 TERMINAL -
