The MC103-Pro offers two primary connection modes: 3-IN-1-OUT and 1-IN-3-OUT. Ensure all audio equipment is powered off before making connections.

3-IN-1-OUT Configuration

In this mode, you can connect up to three stereo XLR audio sources (e.g., DVD player, CD player, Decoder) to the MC103-Pro, and output the selected source to a single stereo XLR destination (e.g., an ampജീവപര്യന്തം).

1. Connect your first stereo XLR audio source to the "X" input ports (Left and Right) on the rear panel of the MC103-Pro.
2. Connect your second stereo XLR audio source to the "Y" input ports (Left and Right).
3. Connect your third stereo XLR audio source to the "Z" input ports (Left and Right).
4. Connect your stereo XLR amplifier or other audio destination to the "I/O" output ports (Left and Right).

1-IN-3-OUT Configuration

In this mode, you can connect a single stereo XLR audio source (e.g., a Decoder) to the MC103-Pro, and output that source to up to three different stereo XLR destinations (e.g., multiple ampജീവപര്യന്തം).

1. Connect your stereo XLR audio source to the "I/O" input ports (Left and Right) on the rear panel of the MC103-Pro.
2. Connect your first stereo XLR amplifier or other audio destination to the "X" output ports (Left and Right).
3. Connect your second stereo XLR amplifier or other audio destination to the "Y" output ports (Left and Right).
4. Connect your third stereo XLR amplifier or other audio destination to the "Z" output ports (Left and Right).
