available for the top cover which include clear (Silver) or black anodize. Finally, the
steel chassis helps create a rigid foundation for mounting the components and adds
ventilation assistance for passive cooling.
AC Mains Voltage switch
Located on the left side of the rear panel is an AC mains switch. The MC 7150
will need to be unplugged and powered down for at least 2 minutes before changing
the 2 position slider switch.
It is very important to ensure that the slide switch is in
the proper position before applying power. Failure to do so will likely result in
damaging the internal components and will not be covered under warranty.
The fuse is located above the IEC plug on the rear of the unit. It can be
inspected by sliding the fuse holder out (It has a symbol of a fuse on it).
90-260V: 5x20mm Slow Blow / T10A 250VAC
Getting connected
CAUTION: Disconnect the power cord or put the power switch in the “off” position
before making any connections to your amplifier to minimize the risk of electric
shock and possible loudspeaker damage. Power your MC 7150 “on” after all final
connections have been made.
Each binding post is made of “OFC” copper alloy. Both clamping nuts are built
out of one piece, and ensure an excellent grip on the spade or wire. All metallic
surfaces offer a 24-karat gold-plating, and are made from non magnetic materials.
The binding post will accept 4mm banana plugs, spades of 8mm, and crimped cable
ends up to 10 AWG. The easiest connection is made with banana plugs, but be sure
that you use the highest quality you can find. Inexpensive banana plugs can cause a
highly resistive connection which can result in a noticeably higher distortion output
and will reduce the ability of the amplifier to control the connected speakers.
