Use, Care, and Signal Connections

The Jeff Rowland Design Group MC-6 Power Amplifier has been designed with numerous protection circuits and to be able to operate at the highest level of performance in any normal operating situation. However, there are a few important use and care principles that must be kept in mind when operating the amplifier.

Do not expose the amplifier to rain, moisture, or excessively damp conditions.

Do not disconnect the amplifier from AC mains without first placing the amplifier in Standby mode.

The MC-6 Multi-Channel Power Amplifier must not be modified in any way, other than according to official service bulletins from Jeff Rowland Design Group. Otherwise, the factory warranty will be immediately voided.

The MC-6 Multi-Channel Power Amplifier can be operated at a nominal 100, 115, 200, or 230 volts AC. For this reason, you should first assure that the amplifier has been wired for the correct AC input voltage before operation.

As the MC-6 generates a significant amount of heat, it should not be placed in a cabinet or area where the heatsinks are not able to properly dissipate heat during operation. Please make sure adequate ventilation is provided.

To clean the MC-6 Multi-Channel Power Amplifier, use a soft cloth moistened with plain water. Never apply water, dusting sprays, solvents, abrasives, or cleaning fluids directly to the chassis!

When operating the MC-6, a properly grounded AC receptacle should be used. A potential shock hazard may result if the supplied 3-wire, grounded AC cord set ground terminal is defeated or lifted or the unit is connected to a 2-wire ungrounded AC outlet.

Signal Connections

The MC-6 Multi-Channel Power Amplifier offers unprecedented channel configuration capability and compatibility with associated audio components. When connecting or disconnecting speaker or interconnect cables, it is always necessary to place the amplifier in Standby mode (FRONT PANEL STANDBY/POWER BUTTON not illuminated or OFF).

Complete instructions for configuring and connecting the amplifier can be found in the next portion of this manual.

Please also note that any changes or updates to the manual will be posted on the Jeff Rowland Design Group web site at http://www.jeffrowland.com.

+Warning: Both positive and negative outputs are electrically

active with respect to chassis and/or system ground potential! Therefore, this amplifier cannot be used in certain loudspeaker switching configurations, such as those used in retail demonstrations. Failure to avoid these precautions can result in damage to the amplifier and will void the warranty.
