How to Operate the MC2102
How to Operate the MC2102
Power On
To have the MC2102 automatically turn On or Off when a
McIntosh Control Center turns On or
Off, rotate the power switch to the
REMOTE Position. For manual op-
eration, rotate the power switch to the
ON or OFF Position as desired. Refer
to figure 15.
Note: There must be a power control
connection between the
MC2102 and the McIntosh
Control Center, in order for the remote power turn on to
function.
Meter Selection
Rotate the meter mode switch to select the meter operation
mode you desire. Refer to figures 16 and 17.
Lights Off - Meter lights are
turned off and the
meters will con-
tinue to indicate the
power output.
Watts- The meters respond
to all the musical
information being
produced by the
amplifier. They indicate to an accuracy of at
least 95% of the power output with only a
single cycle of a 2000Hz tone burst.
Hold - The meter pointer is locked to the highest
power peak in a sequence of peaks. It is elec-
tronically held to this power level until a
higher
power peak
passes
through the
amplifier.
The meter
pointer will
then rise to the newer higher indication. If no
further power peaks are reached, the meter
pointer will very slowly return to its rest posi-
tion or lower power level.
Note: The MC2102 Power Output Meters
indicate the wattage delivered to the
loudspeakers. When in Mono Parallel or
Mono Bridge Modes, the actual power
output is a combination of both the Right
and Left Meter Indications.

Switch, which is located on the Top
