Page 6: Technical Aspects
Technical Aspects 120 Volt Technology SPL‘s goal was to push analog signal processing to the limits. That‘s why we combined the best possible components with a high-grade optimized circuit design. We have been using the in-house developed 120-volt technology - the highest-ever oper- ating voltage used for audio applications - in all our products from the Mastering series for years. -

When you close the lid again, you should see the correct voltage displayed in the opening. On the product site on our website (http://mc16.spl.audio) you will find a video con- cerning the topic “Changing the mains voltage”. If you ever have to exchange a fuse, we recommend the video “Exchange defective fuses”. -
Page 9: Cabling: Rear Side
Cabling: Rear Side XLR inputs and outputs We used exclusively Switchcraft/Neutrik XLR input and output plugs to guarantee perfect connectivity in the studio. They provide an optimal connection thanks to their electrome- chanical design and large contact surface. The image shows the XLR connectors pinout. They are balanced and have three conduc- tors or wires. -

In the first eight channels of the 16-channel input section ‘Input 1’, the MC16 features balanced XLR input jacks (female). This is quiet helpful if you (for example) pair the MC16 with an SPL DMC, because in this way single cable connections can easily be connected back and forth to the DMC. -
