DRAWMER
INPUTS
The MC2.1 has four inputs comprising a I/P1 - a balanced Neutrik XLR, I/P2 - a
balanced Neutrik XLR/jack combi (combining a 3 pole XLR receptacle and ¼"
phone jack in one XLR housing), and also
AUX. - a shared input comprising of
stereo RCA’s and a 3.5mm stereo jack.
Each input is activated by the
Source switches (see )
Note that AUX is a shared input and if both inputs are used simultaneously the
signal will be summed into one stereo signal, however level matching will need to
be controlled prior to the MC2.1.
OUTPUTS
Three stereo balanced speaker outputs- A , B and C , plus a dedicated mono speaker/
sub-woofer output - MONO - are found on the rear of the unit, all in the form of Neutrik
3 pin XLR’s. Each of these outputs has an individual Left/Right/Mono trim
potentiometer on the underside of the unit to enable easy and accurate monitor
level/room matching throughout (see ‘Monitor Calibration’).
Each output is activated by the Speakers switches (see ) - and can be activated
individually or simultaneously and in any configuration.
TALKBACK
A dedicated talkback output can be found on the rear panel, in the form of a ¼" jack,
so that, as well as being routed through the headphones, a talkback signal can be
routed to other devices at the engineers discretion. This could usually be patched
into the live-room active monitor speakers for convenience when recording acoustic
ensembles where the performers may not wish or need to wear headphones. It
could also be used as an added channel on a mixing desk to be patched into a
multiple headphone amplifier along with the stereo mix, for example. The jack also
allows for routing into a separate channel of a DAW, or other recording facility, to
allow for information overdubs to be added to a recording.
