17. USB PORT

This is the USB connection between the MCU Pro and the host computer. Use the USB cable provided to connect this port to a USB port on the computer.

Note: When the MCU Pro is connected to

a computer with the USB connection, it

appears as a 4x4 MIDI device to the computer and DAW application. The MCU Pro control surface appears as Port 1 in the DAW application. Ports 2-4 correspond to the MIDI Port 2-4 connections on the MCU Pro.

18. PORT 2 [MIDI IN/OUT]

These are standard 5-pin MIDI input and output connectors. Connect this to the MIDI IN/OUT ports on the MIDI-equipped device (MIDI IN to MIDI OUT and vice-versa). This appears as MIDI Port 2 in the DAW application.

19. PORT 3

These are standard 5-pin MIDI input and output connectors. Connect this to the MIDI IN/OUT ports on the MIDI-equipped device (MIDI IN to MIDI OUT and vice-versa). This appears as MIDI Port 3 in the DAW application.

20. PORT 4

These are standard 5-pin MIDI input and output connectors. Connect this to the MIDI IN/OUT ports on the MIDI-equipped device (MIDI IN to MIDI OUT and vice-versa). This appears as MIDI Port 4 in the DAW application.

21. USER SWITCH 1 and 2

These are provided for connecting a momentary footswitch to the MCU Pro that may be used to control functions such as Play/Stop, Rec Ready, Drop In/Out, etc. These functions are usually user-configurable in the DAW application.

22. EXTERNAL CONTROL

This can be used to connect a variable control, like a potentiometer, to control functions such as Master Volume, as determined by the DAW application.

23. POWER CONNECTOR

This is where you connect the supplied external AC power supply to provide power to the unit.

The provided AC power supply is a universal power supply, so it may be connected to an

AC power source between 100 VAC and 240 VAC (50–60 Hz).

24. POWER SWITCH

This switch turns the power on and off.

25. KENSINGTON LOCK

To help prevent theft, the MCU Pro and MCU XT Pro have a security slot designed to fit the popular Kensington security locks. A variety of models are available from their website at www.kensington.com.
