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 3.5mm MP3 player
inputs and an output section that includes a mono/sub connector alongside the
balanced and RCA outputs.

The MC1.1 Controls
SOURCE
Three switches select which of BALANCED, PHONO and AUX is heard (see ).
Each can be operated individually or simultaneously and in any combination. When
operated simultaneously the individual signals are summed into a single stereo
signal. Note that the MC1.1 does not provide individual level trims for the inputs
and so any level matching should be applied before it reaches the MC2.1.
OUTPUT
Two switches select which of the two speaker outputs A (plus additional mono
output) balanced XLR)) or B (unbalanced RCA) is heard (see ).
Each switch can be operated individually or simultaneously and in any combination
and is perfect for performing A/B comparisons between various monitor setups. As
the switches do not toggle between outputs when doing A/B comparisons both of
those switches should be pressed at the same time, with A active press both the A
and B switches to swap the output to B active, and then again to return to the
previous setting.
An additional benefit is derived when using a sub-bass. If the sub-bass is attached
to output A, delivering the lower frequencies, output B could deliver the higher
frequencies and allow for A/B (or in this case A+Sub) comparisons between the
two monitor setups by activating the B switch and leaving A always active.
