How to Operate the MC602
How to Operate the MC602
Power On
To have the MC602 automatically turn On or Off when a
control center turns on or off, rotate the power switch to the
remote position. For manual operation, rotate the power
switch to the On or Off position
as desired. Refer to figure 8.
Note: There must be a power
control connection
between the MC602 and
the McIntosh Control
Center, in order for the
remote power turn-on to
function.
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.

the loudspeakers by responding to the
combination of current and voltage
output.

ure 11.
