How to Operate the MC202
How to Operate the MC202
Power On
To have the MC202 automatically turn On or Off when a
control center turns on or off, rotate the power switch to the
remote position. For manual operation, rotate the power
switch to the on or off position
as desired. Refer to figure 9.
Note: There must be a power
control connection between
the MC202 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 10 and 11.
Lights Off - Meter lights are turned off and the meters will
continue to indicate
the power output.
Watts- The meters respond
to all the musical
information being
produced by the
amplifier. They in-
dicate to an accu-
racy 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 ampli-
fier. The meter pointer will then rise to the
newer
higher indi-
cation. If
no further
power
peaks are
reached,
the meter pointer will very slowly return to its
rest position or lower power level. The decay
rate is approximately 6 dB per minute.
Note: The MC202 Power Output Meters
indicate the wattage delivered to the
loudspeakers. When in Mono Bridge
Mode, the actual power output is a
combination of both the Right and Left
Meter Indications.
Mode Switch
The Mode Switch, which is located on
the Rear Panel of the MC202, allows
you to select either STEREO or
MONO BRIDGE Modes of Operation.
Refer to figure 12.
Note: There is additional information
pertaining to both modes of
operation How to Connect on
pages 8 and 9.
