Digital Input
Congure the port with or without
+5 VDC pull-up.
Use this port to:
• Monitor or trigger events and
functions (toggle relays, issue
commands, send e-mail), once
congured.
• Power an LED or other device
that accepts a TTL signal.

Control voltage output:

Reference
voltage: ≤10 VDC
NOTE:
Use shielded cable
and place the MLC Plus as
close as possible to the
amplier to avoid picking up
background noise via the
cable.
NOTE: When audio
mute is active, the
MLC Plus sets
control voltage output
to
0 VDC, even if the
voltage range
(minimum and
maximum voltage
limits) have been set
to levels above zero,
such as 2 V to 8 V.
Volume Control
This port can be used to control the volume and mute or unmute the audio for some
Extron audio ampliers with remote volume capability.
• Connect to an Extron audio ampier to
permit volume control via the
MLC
Plus.
• Do not exceed 25 VDC input voltage.
Settings to configure via software:
• Maximum and minimum voltage
limits
• Soft Start mode: off or on (default) − to allow
volume to gradually increase from mute to
the previous level after muting or power-on
to prevent loud audio bursts
