PreamP outPuts

The MHD600/4-24V incorporates a pass-

through preamp output section, so that additional 
amplifiers can easily be connected to the same 
signal(s) feeding the MHD600/4-24V. These 
preamp output signals are accessible via a stereo 
pair of RCA-type jacks, labeled “Preouts”, on the 
Connection Panel. 

The term “pass-through” refers to the fact that 

the Preamp Output signals are not affected by 
any crossover filter or input sensitivity setting 
selected on the MHD600/4-24V (if the input 
signal is full-range, the Preamp Output will be 
full-range). These preamp output signals are 
buffered to prevent noise and are always preamp 
level, regardless of the level of signals feeding the 
MHD600/4-24V’s inputs.

The pass-through Preamp Outputs can be 

configured two different ways using the switch 
labeled “Preouts From” in the “General Setup” 
section of the Control Panel.

 

1)  “Front”: The preamp output delivers the same 

signal that is connected to the MHD600/4-24V’s  

“Front Inputs”.  This mode is useful for feeding 
a subwoofer amplifier when the MHD600/4-24V 
is being used to drive front and rear speaker 
systems. In this mode, the preamp output level 
will track with the signal level of the front input 
signals, allowing the user to fade the rear channels 
in and out, without affecting the subwoofer level. 

 

3)  “F+R” (Front + Rear): This mode delivers a 

sum of the signals being fed to the “Front 

Inputs” and the “Rear Inputs” of the 
amplifier. When the MHD600/4-24V is 
being used to drive front and rear speaker 
systems, this preamp output mode will deliver 
a summed front/rear signal to the subwoofer 
amplifier, while permitting fading of the front 
and rear speaker systems from the source unit.

remote leVel control (oPtional)

With the addition of the optional Remote Level 

Control (HD-RLC), you can control the volume 
of one or both channel pairs of the MHD600/4-
24V from the cockpit. This is useful for subwoofer 
level control or even as a master volume control 
for the system.

The HD-RLC connects to the jack labeled 

“Remote Level Control” on the Connection 
Panel of the amplifier using a standard telephone 
cable (supplied with the HD-RLC). 

If desired, multiple MHD amplifiers can be 

controlled from a single HD-RLC controller  
using a simple phone line “splitter” and multiple 
phone cables (not supplied).
