MCR54 / MCR54-DUAL User Manual Audio Layout As shown on the above schematic, MCR54 provides the following audio signals: • HP [HEADPHONE]: an analog monitor audio output to headphone 3.5mm jack socket. Thanks to the “Setup>Headphone” menu the user can select which of the 4 receivers he wants to listen to and can adjust the volume from 0 to -24 step 1dB.
