TCL-2
QUICK START!
READ THIS!! The TCL-2 operates with lethal operating
voltages -- the voltage inside the TCL-2 can kill you. Never,
under any circumstances, remove the top cover. Refer to a
qualified electronics technician any and all servicing, tube
replacement, and other operations which require the top
cover to be removed.
Congratulations on your purchase of the Millennia Media TCL-2 with Twin Topology. The
TCL-2 is the result of meticulous listening tests on numerous circuit, topology, and packaging
designs. Your TCL-2 is a finely tuned instrument intended for critical professional applications
— we feel it is the world's most sonically neutral analog EQ. With the emergence of 24+ bit
digital audio, recording engineers are faced with a new requirement for undistorted dynamic
range. The TCL-2 meets this challenge exceptionally well.
Before connecting power to the TCL-2, assure that the rear panel voltage selection fuse block
switch is set correctly. In the USA, the TCL-2 is shipped with the voltage selection block set to
100-120 VAC. At this voltage setting, a pair of 1 amp 5 x 20 mm slow blow fuses have been
factory installed. If you change the voltage selection block to 200-240 VAC usage, be sure to
change both fuses to 500 milliamp (0.4 amp) slow blow types.
The TCL-2 enclosure measures 19" wide x 3.5" high x 12.5" deep and is designed for mounting
into a standard 2U, 19" equipment rack. If the TCL-2 is mounted in a road case or other rack
which is prone to strong vibration or shock, it is recommended that the rear of the TCL-2 be
supported or otherwise reinforced to withstand such conditions. The TCL-2 requires adequate
ventilation. To assure proper air circulation and operation, leave at least one rack space open
above and below the TCL-2.
The TCL-2 is designed on a common ground topology. For high quality operation, and for your
own safety and the safety of others, do not defeat the purpose of the earth grounding pin on the
A/C power cord!
