INSTALLATION

Content of the Box

The unit was packed carefully. Nevertheless we recommend to check the

content directly after opening the package:

1 x MC-6

1 x Power cable

4 x Rubber feet

1 x Manual

Placing the Device

The unit should be set up as closely as possible to the devices to which it

will be connected, so as to avoid excessive cable lengths. Use the 4 rubber

feets enclosed with the appliance and stick them symmetrically on the

bottom side of the unit to protect the enclosure and supporting surface

from being damaged.

The device can be mounted into a standard 19“ rack and will require 1 unit.

In this case, the rubber feet cannot be attached. Install the device so that

one unit of rack space is left free both above and below the device to allow

for sufficient ventilation! The mounting depth including the terminals is

160 mm/6.7“. Another 60 mm/2.4“ should be added for the required cables.

Additional slide-in rails on the rack inside are recommended for safe instal-

lation. This will also avoid long-term mechanical deformation of the housing.

Wiring the AES/EBU, AES/EBUid and S/P-DIF interfaces

AES/EBU

Connect the AES/EBU interfaces with the help of balanced electrical

cables equipped with XLR connectors on both ends. The specifications

stipulate a specific cable resistance of 110Ω (ask your retailer for a confir-

mation of this value when purchasing the cables).

AES/EBUid

Connect the AES/EBUid interfaces with the help of unbalanced electrical

BNC cables equipped with BNC connectors on both ends (same as used for

Word Clock). The specifications stipulate a specific cable resistance of 75Ω

(ask your retailer for a confirmation of this value when purchasing the

cables).

Typically, such cables are marked »RG-59U, RG59B/U«.

S/P-DIF

Connect the coaxial S/P-DIF interfaces with help of unbalanced electrical

cables equipped with cinch connectors on both ends. The specifications

stipulate a specific cable resistance of 75 Ω. Ask your retailer for a confirma-

tion of this value when purchasing the cables.

Connect the optical S/P-DIF interface with the help of Toshiba TOSLINK™

compliant optical fiber cables. Here, you can use both plastic and glass

fiber-based cables. When using plastic fiber cables, lengths of 10 meters

should not be exceeded, so as to ensure the reliable transmission of signals.

Glass fiber cables can transfer data reliably even over greater distances.

Wiring the Word Clock Interfaces

Connect the Word Clock interfaces with the help of unbalanced electrical

BNC cables equipped with BNC connectors on both ends. The specifica

tions stipulate a specific cable resistance of 75Ω (ask your retailer for a

confirmation of this value when purchasing the cables). Typically, such

cables are marked »RG-59U, RG59B/U«.

To allow for the synchronization of signals, the interfaces of all devices

involved must be properly connected to each other, so as to ensure a logical

signal flow. Always be sure to connect the Word Clock output of the MC-6

to the corresponding input of the device you wish to synchronize. Cable

lengths should be kept as short as possible to minimize signal losses and/or

interferences!

MUTEC offers optical cables of various

lengths that have been specifically tested for

the transmission of S/P-DIF signals. Ask your

local dealer for those cables!

Before Powering Up

The condition of the packaging

material and the device should

be checked carefully additionally. If there

are any damages please refer to SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS, Initial Operation, and

WARRANTY REGULATIONS.

Before installing the unit the section SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS located at the beginning of

this manual should be read carefully.

Never expose the device and accessories to

rain, moisture, direct sunlight, or excessive

heat produced by radiators, heaters, or

spot lights! Sufficient air circulation in the

environment of the device must be ensured!

Cables for Word Clock

If a cable with a different resist-

ance than 75 Ω is used, a dramatic

deterioration of the signal quality can be

the result! In this case, the perfect synchro

nization of all devices involved could be

impaired.

It is imperative that the lengths of all cables

connected are largely the same, as this is

the only way to ensure that all devices will

be synchronized in phase (exception: cable

tolerances).

We recommend using high-grade cables with

a good shielding. A length of max. 10 meters

(approx. 30 feets) should not be exceeded!

Cables for High Clock Rates

Especially when working with high

AES3/-11 or S/P-DIF clock rates well

shielded electrical clock lines are imperative

to avoid increased radiation! Standard cables

are nor-mally useable for clock rates up to

50.0kHz. Special shielded cable material

should be used for transfer of higher clock

rates.
