REAR-PANEL OVERVIEW (continued)
13 TRIGGER OUTPUT CONNECTORS
Provide 12V DC output to control connected components. Three
trigger output connectors are available on a removable terminal block.
The PWR connector – the power trigger output connector – is not
configurable. It is activated when the MC-12 is activated, and deacti-
vated when the MC-12 is deactivated. The trigger output connectors
(1) and (2) can be configured for remote or program operation.
14 IR IN CONNECTOR
Accepts input of IR signals from infrared distribution equipment.
One 3.5mm jack that accepts a stereo plug (Tip/Ring/Sleeve
connection) or mono plug (Tip/Sleeve connection) is available.
15 MICROPHONE INPUT CONNECTORS
Provide microphone input for speaker distance and output level
calibration. Additionally, inputs 1 (left) and 2 (right) are used when
LIVE! is active. Four 3.5mm Tip/Ring/Sleeve connectors are
available.
16 REMOVABLE ACCESS PANEL
Accommodates connectors for emerging technologies.
REMOTE CONTROL OVERVIEW
The MC-12 remote control provides full operation of the MC-12,
including commands such as menu navigation that are not available
from the front-panel. The command matrix, beginning on page 2-14,
indicates the commands remote control buttons perform when each
command bank is active. The numbered items in the matrix corre-
spond with the remote control illustrations.
OPERATION CONSIDERATIONS
The following factors can improve or impede remote control
operation.
Note the following before operating the MC-12 remote control:
• The remote control must be in line-of-sight with the front-
panel IR receiver. Eliminate obstructions between the remote
control and the IR receiver. The remote control may become
unreliable if strong sunlight or fluorescent light shines on the IR
receiver.
• For optimal performance, position the remote control at a 30
degree angle no more than 17 feet (5m) from the MC-12.
Placing the MC-12 inside a smoked glass cabinet will reduce
the remote control range.
• Remote controls for different components can interfere with
one another. Avoid using remote controls for different compo-
nents at the same time.
• Remote control batteries should be replaced as needed.
