electronically held to this power level until
a higher power peak passes through the
amplifier. The meter pointer will then rise
to the newer higher indication. If no further
power peaks are reached, the meter pointer
will very slowly return to its rest position or
lower power level. The decay rate is approxi-
mately 6dB per minute.
Note: The MC1.2KW Power Output Meter
indicates the actual wattage delivered
to the loudspeakers by responding to
the combination of current and voltage
output.
Input Mode Switch
The Input Mode Switch, which is located on the Rear Panel
of the MC1.2KW, allows
you to select either the
Balanced or Unbalanced
Input. Refer to figure 11.

Watts- The meters respond to all the musical in-
formation being produced by the amplifier.
They indicate to an accuracy of at least 95%
of the power output with only a single cycle
of a 2000Hz tone burst.
Hold - The meter pointer is locked to the highest
power peak in a sequence of peaks. It is
