The Extron MVC 121 Plus is an audio mixer and volume controller that will mix up to two mono mic/line inputs (balanced/
unbalanced) with one stereo line level input (balanced/unbalanced). All audio input signals are converted from analog to digital
prior to processing or routing. Each mic/line input and the line level input have their own gain control adjustment screws. The
mixed variable output also features a volume control knob on the front panel.
NOTE: For full installation, configuration, and operation details, see the MVC 121 Plus User Guide, available at
www.extron.com .

Installing the MVC 121 Plus
1. Disconnect power from all equipment.
2. (Optional) Mount the unit to a rack or furniture.
3. Connect the audio inputs.
• Connect up to two balanced or unbalanced mono mic/line level input devices to
connector c above (see the 6-pole wiring diagram on the right). Alternatively,
two 3-pole connectors may be used.
• A balanced or unbalanced stereo line level input may be connected to d above (see the 5-pole wiring diagram below).

4. Connect the audio output.
• For variable balanced or unbalanced stereo output controlled
by the front panel knob of the MVC 121 Plus, connect an
amplifier to the Variable connector
e , above (see the wiring
diagram on the right).
• For fixed stereo output, connect an output device to Fixed
connector
f
(see the wiring diagram above).
5. Connect a control device. Connect a host device, such as a computer, to
one of the following MVC ports to configure and control the MVC 121 plus via
Simple Instruction Set (SIS™) commands.
• RS-232 port (rear panel) — Connect a host device to the Tx, Rx, and
_ (ground) pins of this 6-pole captive screw connector ( g ). The default
baud rate for this port is 38400 baud, 1 stop bit, no parity, 8 data bits, and
no flow control (see the wiring diagram on the right).
• Config port (front panel) — See Front Panel Features on the next page.
6. Digital input connector. Up to three configurable input ports (see h on the
rear panel diagram above) allow connection to various devices including motion
detectors, alarms, buttons, photo (light) sensors, and temperature sensors. This
connector shares a common ground with the RS-232 connector (see the wiring
diagram on the right).
Both the RS-232 and digital input connectors may be used simultaneously by
using a 6-pin captive screw connector with two wires sharing the ground connector
(see the diagram on the right).
