\B E D I E N E L E M E N T E >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> INTRODUCTION Thank you very much for purchasing the MC-4, Digital Audio Format and Sampling Rate Converter, from MUTEC! General Function Description The MC-4 is an extremely flexible, high-performance digital audio format and sampling rate converter for ADATTM, AES3 and S/P-DIF. All digital audio signals can be processed with 8 channels and sampling rates up to 192.
INTRODUCTION \\\\\\\\\\\\ >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Peripheral MUTEC Products Reference Clocks and Master Clocks for Synchronization: iCLOCK + iCLOCKdp iCLOCK and iCLOCKdp are synchronizable, high-precision clock generators which are designed to be the reference in digital audio and video studios as well as broadcast and television stations.

Refer to the chapter »OPERATIONS« for more information. 2 MENU This key selects one of the available function menus. 3 SELECT Use this key to select a function within a specific function menu.
CONTROL ELEMENTS \\\\\\\\\\\\\ >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 2 WCLK IN + OUT The above BNC connector (IN) receives a Word Clock or so-called »Super Clock« signal as master clock reference for the SRCs. The below BNC connector (OUT) transmits a low-jitter Word Clock signal based on the internal clock base or the selected external clock reference signal.
\B E D I E N E L E M E N T E >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 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-4 1 x Power cable 1 x Manual 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.

Plug the T piece with its center connector into the input of the receiving device. Then, connect the cable coming from the MC-4’s Word Clock output to one of the lateral connectors, and the other connector of the BNC-T piece to a 75 Ω resistor forming the BNC termination.
\B E D I E N E L E M E N T E >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> GENERAL OPERATION Selecting Function Menus and setting Functions The device is fully operated using the two toggle switches at the front panel. 1 Switching the »MENU« button toggles between different basic function menus. 2 Switching the »SELECT« button activtes individual functions within one function menu.
\B E D I E N E L E M E N T E >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> OPERATING THE MC-4 MODE + AUDIO IN + REFERENCE Menus These three function menus are offering access to the whole functionality of your MC-4. The »MODE« menu allows to select the general conversion option as uni- or bidirectional conversion, with or without sampling rate conversion or the X-SRC mode. Within the »AUDIO IN« menu you select the digital audio formats for conversion.
