Hardware Setup - Mutec MC-3+ Smart Clock USB Operating Manual

Quick Start Guide XX XX

Hardware Setup

Power up the MC-3+USB via the switch on the rear of the device.
The MC-3+USB has several modes of operation, but for audio re-clocking you need to set it to »INTERN« & »RE-CLK«.
Press the MENU button once (LEDs flash) and use the SELECT button to cycle through the MODE menu until the top (IN-
TERN) and bottom (RE-CLK) LEDs in the MODE column both light up.
As a result the top three LEDs in the REFERENCE menu should light up at once as the default setting and indicate that the
USB input has been selected as audio input. When sending a valid audio stream into the USB input, the top blue LOCK LED
and the red AUDIO LED in the STATUS column should now be illuminated confirming a lock to the USB audio stream as
reference (see sketch below, e.g. sampling rate of audio input reference = 192.0 kHz).

MODE REFERENCE CLOCK
When you want to use one of the other inputs as audio source, press the menu button to switch to the REFERENCE menu (LEDs
flash) and use the SELECT button to cycle through the REFERENCE menu until you have activated the desired input.
Windows Software Setup
As a last step you need to set up the MC-3+USB as a standard sound device. Click the »Start Menu« button and select »Control
Panel«. Click on »Sound« in the »Hardware & Sound« area to select the MC-3+USB as a playback device. Refer to page 16 in
the operating manual for further information.
This concludes the initial setup for computer audio playback on a Windows PC. Please refer to the operating manual for addi-
tional information and if you should have any questions.
MAC Software Setup
The MC-3+ Smart Clock USB acts as a class-compliant Core Audio device on MAC computers. Therefore, there is no need for any
driver installation. When the MC-3+USB is powered up and a USB connection has been established, your MAC will automatically
detect the new audio device and select it as the current playback device.
If not, check the »Sound« menu in your OSX system preferences and select »MC-3+ Smart Clock USB 2.0« as the output device.
This concludes the initial setup for computer audio playback on a MAC. Please refer to the user manual for additional informa-
tion and if you should have any questions.
