POWER CONNECTION The MC1.1 unit will be supplied with a power cable suitable for domestic power outlets in your country. For your own safety, it is important that you use this cable to connect to the mains supply earth. The cable must not be tampered with or modified.

DRAWMER AUDIO CONNECTIONS • Interference: If the unit is to be used where it maybe exposed to high levels of disturbance such as found close to a TV or radio transmitter, we advise that the unit is operated in a balanced configuration. The screens of the signal cables should be connected to the chassis connection on the XLR connector as opposed to connecting to pin1. The MC2.1 conforms to the EMC standards.

CHAPTER 2 DRAWMER CONTROL DESCRIPTION As well as a transparent and precise signal path clean the MC1.1 Monitor Pre-Amp has a very intuative and functional layout. The front panel is dominated by the two large, independent volume controls for the main line outputs and the independant headphone amplifier, both incorporate a paralleled custom quad pot for excellent channel matching and the smoothest possible action. There are also individual switches for each input source, including RIAA turntable and 3.

3 MONITOR VOLUME The Monitor Volume control adjusts the signal level of both stereo channels for all speaker outputs. The Volume knob affects the volume of the monitors A (plus the mono) & B only and does not have a bearing on the headphones. 4 The volume knob circuit design incorporates a parallelled custom quad potentiometer, for excellent channel matching and a smooth feel, with a range from Off (-infinity) to +6dB of gain.
