Meter Selection
Rotate the meter mode switch to select the meter operation mode you desire. Refer to figures 9 and 10.
Lights Off - Meter lights are turned off and the meters will con- tinue to indicate the power output.
Watts- The meters re- spond to all the musical informa- tion being pro- duced by the am- plifier. They indi-
cate to an accuracy of at least 95% of the power output with only a single cycle of a 2000Hz tone burst.
Hold - The meter pointer is locked to the highest power peak in a sequence of peaks. It is elec- tronically held to this power level until a higher
power peak passes through the ampli- fier. The
meter pointer will then rise to the newer higher indication. If no further power peaks are reached, the meter pointer will very slowly return to its rest position or lower power level. The decay rate is approximately 6dB per minute.
Note: The MC602 Power Output Meters indicate the actual wattage delivered to the loudspeakers by responding to the combination of current and voltage output.
Input Mode Switch
The Input Mode Switch, which is located on the Rear Panel of the MC602, allows you
to select either the Balanced or Unbalanced Inputs. Refer to fig- ure 11.
