Connector and Cable Information

XLR Connectors
Below is the Pin configuration for the XLR Balanced
Input, Input/Output Connectors on the MI347. Refer to
the diagram for connection:
PIN 1: Shield/Ground
PIN 2: + Input/Output
PIN 3: - Input/Output
Power Control Connector
The MI347 Power Control Input receives an On/Off
signal from +5 to +12 volts. The Power Control Output
will in turn provide a +12 volt Output Signal with a
total current up to 50mA. An additional connection
is for controlling the illumination
of the MI347 Meter Power Output
Indicators. The 3.5mm stereo mini
phone plug connects to a McIntosh
Preamplifier or A/V Control Center

Output Terminal Connector
When cables with spade lugs are used
for Loudspeaker Connection, the spade
lugs need an opening of at least 3/10 inch
(7.6mm)
