TRUE POWER OUTPUT WATT METER
An illuminated 8 inch WATT meter is provided on the MC1000 front panel. The meter is
peak responding and its circuits are constantly reading both voltage and current delivered
to the speaker load. A speaker may have a change in impedance at different frequencies
resulting in a change of output current requirements. The MC1000 meter reacts to these chang-
ing conditions and indicates the true amplifier power output at all times. In the METER WATTS
position, the meter responds to the musical information and reads the amplifier output on
a continuous basis. In the METER HOLD position the meter will lock to the highest power
peak in a sequence of peaks. If no higher power peaks are reached, the meter pointer will
slowly return to the lower power level. If the music stops, the meter pointer will return to the
rest position. The meter pointer decay rate is approximately 6dB per minute. The MC1000
output meter is extremely accurate, and will respond to 95% of full scale, with only a single
cycle of a 2,000Hz tone burst.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
Heavy duty high current gold plated output terminals will accept speaker cables up to 0.204
inches (5.18mm) in diameter. It is easy to connect speakers using any of the currently popular
speaker cables.
Both Balanced as well as an Unbalanced input jacks are provided for complete flexibility
in any installation.
