POWER
The MC7.1 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 MC7.1 is used,
rather than one with the equivalent ratings. The push button switch turns the MC7.1
on/off. (see Power Connection).
Note that a timed relay protection circuit has been incorporated into the MC7.1 to
prevent bangs and other potentially harmful artifacts from occurring during power up
and power down.
WARNING
DO NOT PLUG IN THE EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY WHILST THE POWER SWITCH
ON THE REAR OF THE MC3.1 IS IN THE ON POSITION.
&
INPUTS
The MC7.1 has a total of 20 input channels comprising a stereo Aux input for Mp3
players and smartphones etc, that can be found at
Input D
(4)
on the top panel, whilst
two separate surround inputs, a through and a pro stereo input are located on the
rear panel.
INPUT A (7.1)
One set of eight balanced inputs for 7.1 surround monitoring is attached via a 25
pin D-Sub connector and wired to TASCAM’s DB-25 wiring standard. This diagram
can be found in the ‘Audio Connections’ section. Note that depending on the
surround configuration not all inputs need be used, and could provide inputs for
other surround configurations, such as 5.1, for example, anything from 1 to 8
speakers is possible. The unused inputs are ignored by the MC7.1.
The MC7.1 is ‘all analogue’ so all encoding and decoding should be carried out
externally.
Input A
has a direct ‘through’ (slave) output, also via DB-25 d-sub. This is a
paralleled through, directly from the Input A 25 pin d-sub, and is not affected by the
MC7.1 in any way. This allows the surround signal to be output to external devices,
such as a multitrack recorder, for example.
