[. . . ] A Sub-D input connector provides six surround and two stereo input channels. Eight additional RCA connectors allow easy connection of SACD, DVD, CD or DAT players. A slave output allows the stereo or surround input signal to be routed directly to a recording device. Volume control is handled by a discrete six-layer potentiometer and all switching functions by extremely durable precision pushbuttons. SPL`s renowned electronic balancing circuitry forms the basis for the SMC`s I/O architecture. Its extended frequency range up to 100 kHz, exceptional dynamic spectrum and excellent common mode rejection ensure specs that exceed SACD standards, as only highest quality analog circuitry can provide. Last but not least, the SMC`s rugged and ergonomic steel-blue desktop enclosure with its slanted front panel harmonizes perfectly with the desktop production environment. 4 Surround Monitor Controller 2489 Before you begin IMPORTANT: Adjust the voltage setting on the rear panel so that it corresponds to your local power conditions. It makes good sense to think about where you place your SMC before connecting it. It should be positioned so that you can easily reach it, but there are other considerations. Try not to place it near heat sources or in direct sunlight, and avoid exposure to excessive vibrations, dust, heat, cold or moisture. It should also be kept away from transformers, motors, power amplifiers and digital processors. · Leave repairs and maintenance to a qualified service technician. Should foreign objects fall inside the case, contact your authorized dealer or support person. · To avoid electric shock or fire hazards, do not expose your unit to rain or moisture. Always unplug the cable by pulling on the plug only; never pull on the cable. Avoid cleaning agents as they may damage the unit. Power Supply The SMC`s power supply was carefully engineered to provide clean and consistent current ­ an important prerequisite for excellent audio. Built around a toroidal transformer, the power supply generates a minimal electromagnetic field with no hum or mechanical noise. The output side is filtered by an RC circuit to extract noise and hums inherent in commercial AC power. All audio-related components are fed by two separate voltage regulators to minimize disturbance from other components. An AC power cord is included for connection to the standard 3-prong IEC connector. The transformer, power cord and IEC connector are VDE, UL and CSA approved. The AC fuse is rated at 315 mA for 230 v and 630 mA for 115 v.

MUTE ALL does exactly what it says: it mutes all speaker outputs. 8 Surround Monitor Controller 2489 Operation Speakers On The SPEAKERS ON buttons enable each surround speaker output (L, C, R, LS, RS, LFE) and the stereo pair to be switched on and off independently. Tip: If you are not using a surround speaker set, you can connect two stereo speaker pairs to the SMC. All remedies and the measure of damages are limited to the above services and descriptions.
