Using the product

1.The M-Control+ is used between the signal sources (p.ex. audio interface, mixer) and the active studio speakers.

2.Connect the signal sources with input A or B of the M-Control+ and at least one of the outputs with the speakers.

3.Via the outputs A and B you can use two speaker pairs at the same time (p.ex. to compare a signal at different speakers). Note that unbalanced signals are not transmitted into balanced signals.

4.Adjust the volume of the signals as desired with the [VOLUME] knob.

For the transport and protective packaging, environmentally friendly materials have been chosen that can be supplied to normal recycling. Ensure that plastic bags, packaging, etc. are properly disposed of. Do not just dispose of these materials with your normal household waste, but make sure that they are collected for recycling.

5.To mute the signals, press the [MUTE] button. Pressing the mute button again will unmute the signals.

6.To turn stereo signals into mono, press the [MONO] button. This produces a downmix where the left and the right audio signal are both output via both output channels.
