Step 5
Connect the power cables
to a power source and power on the
equipment
(MLC/power supply, RS-232 host device, and amplifier
or mixer).
Step 6
If you are using an MLC with the MLA-VC10, use the
Controller (MLC) Config portion of the
MediaLink control software (included with the
MLC) to set the MLC’s volume control to
“Switcher” instead of “Projector”
. Refer to the
MediaLink Controllers User’s Manual for details.
Step 7
Test the system
by turning the volume knob on the MLC or by
sending a volume-related RS-232 command while listening for a
change in the volume level and observing the MLA-VC10’s LED
(which should blink).
Step 8
If wiring changes are needed, turn off the power and unplug the
equipment, make any necessary wiring changes, then restore power
to the system.
In some applications the amplifier’s front panel volume control
knob may be disabled when the MLA is attached to the
amplifier’s control port.
