Getting Started with the MC
This document contains important information to get you started using your MC. Please read these warnings carefully and follow their instructions to avoid damaging the product(s).
When setting up your MC, keep the following in mind:
• The MC and CM408T modules require at least 1-in of clearance underneath for proper ventilation. The standalone MC has detachable feet,
but CM408T modules do not. System 5-MC owners not using a frame
must allow for space under the CM408T modules and MC or damage
to the units may occur.
• Keep all workstations up to date with the most recent hardware drivers.
Older network and audio card drivers are unable to handle the MC and
CM408T data requirements, producing sluggish behavior when updating the console.
• System 5-MC owners: The System 5-MC network must be isolated.
Connect only the CM408T modules, MC, and workstations to the provided SonicWALL 1260 router to avoid performance degradation.
Avid does not support configurations with other equipment attached
to the network.
• Attach power supply to the MC BEFORE plugging into AC power or
the unit may be damaged.
Installation Guides
Avid has created two installation guides to quickly get your MC connected and working with your workstation(s) and DAW software: one for
multiple workstation setups and one for a single workstation. Each Installation Guide contains an introductory chapter describing the hardware setup and cabling, and a separate chapter for each DAW supported: Pro Tools,
Nuendo, Logic, and Pyramix.
Consult the included copy of Installation Guide appropriate to your studio
setup. The guides and operations manual can also be found on the
Installation CD.
