3. TDC series
3.1. Introduction
Congratulations on buying your MAG
Theatron TDC series amplifier. Before you get started,
please read this user’s manual and safety instructions.
In case you have anyquestions, please do not hesitate
to contact your dealer of MAG Theatron.
MAG Theatron is the leading European professional
and cinema audio equipment brand. MAG Theatron
presents a comprehensive range of audio products,
including screen, surround speakers, and subwoofers
for high-demanding home cinemas, accessories, and
amplification for smooth integration and convenient
exploitation.
3.2.Aboutthe amplifierplatform
TDC series amplifiers are designed to introduce
a new dimension of simplicity and precision into
your home cinema installation. It follows intelligent
cinema system building techniques and adds
advanced DSP and controls, so projects are more
streamlined with reduced total costs. Ecient class
D amplification provides for less environmental
footprint, and along with smart standby and energy-
saving modes reduces cinema running expenses.
Analog as well as AES/EBU inputs are provided for
integration with modern cinema servers.
3.3. Unpacking and checking for shipping
damage
Your MAG amplifier has been completely tested
and inspected before leaving the factory. Carefully
inspect the shipping package before opening it,
and then immediately inspect your new product. If
you find any damage notify the shipping company
immediately.
The box contains the following:
- One TDC series amplifier.
- One AC mains power cord.
- This user guide.
3.4. Disposal ofthe packing material
The transport and protective packing have been
selected from materials that are environmentally
friendly for disposal and can normally be recycled.
Rather than just throwing these materials away,
please ensure they are oered for recycling.

4. Installation
The common installation of the amplifier is in rack
cabinets: to limit the risk of mechanical damages,
the amplifiers must be fixed to the rack using both
frontal and rear mounting brackets.
Note: instead of connecting the amplifier to the
power grid directly, plug the amplifier’s mains
connection into a power distribution panel inside the
rack cabinet.
4.1. Cooling
Install the amplifier in a well-ventilated location: the
ventilation openings must not be impeded by any
item such as newspapers, tablecloths, curtains, etc;
keep a distance of at least 50 cm from the front and
rear ventilation openings of the amplifier.
TDC series amplifiers implement a forced-air cooling
system to maintain low and constant operating
temperatures. Drawn by the internal fans, air
enters from the front panel and is forced over all
components, exiting at the back of the amplifier.
The amplifier’s cooling system features “intelligent“
variable-speed DC fans which are controlled by the
heatsink temperature sensing circuits: the fans’ speed
will increase only when the temperature detected
by the sensors rises over carefully predetermined
values. This ensures that fan noise and internal dust
accumulation are kept to a strict minimum.
Should howeverthe amplifierbe subjectto an extreme
thermal load, the fan will force a very large volume of
air through the heat sink. In the extremely rare event
that the amplifier should dangerously overheat,
sensing circuits shut down all channels until the
amplifier cools down to asafe operating temperature.
Normal operation is resumed automatically without
the need for user intervention.
In case a rack with closed back panels is used, leave
one rack unit empty for every four installed amplifiers
to guarantee adequate airflow.
4.2. Cleaning
Always use a dry cloth for cleaning the chassis and the
front panel. Air filter cleaning should be scheduled
according to the dust levels in the amplifier’s
operating environment.
Disconnect the AC mains source
before attempting to clean
any part of the amplifier
TDC series amplifiers are equipped with a magnet-
held front panel. Pull the front panel to remove it, and
retrieve the vent filter. The vent filter can be cleaned
using compressed air, or it can be washed in warm
water. Let the filter to thoroughly dry out before
returning it to the amplifier

4.3.AC Mains supply
The AC Main connection is made via the IEC C13
connector.
Connection tothe main shall be
done onlybyan electrotechni-
calyskilled person according to
the national requirements ofthe
countrieswhere the unit is sold.
Make sure theAC mainsvolt-
age used is withinthe accept-
able operatingvoltage range:
115V-230V±10%.
It is importantto connect the
ground forsafety, do not use
an adapterthat disables the
ground connection.
The TDC series amplifiers have an automatic power
factor correction system - PFC - for a perfect mains
network interface. The PFC minimizes the reactive
power reflected on the network and reduces the
harmonic distortion on voltage/current waveform:
in this way, the amplifier is seen as a resistive load
from the mains network. Furthermore, the system
allows performance to be maintained even in case of
varying mains voltage.
4.4. Precautions regarding installation
Placing and using the amplifier for long periods on
heat-generating sources will aect its performance.
Avoid placing the amplifier on heat-generating
sources. Install this amplifier as far as possible from
tuners and TV sets. An amplifier installed close to
such equipment may experience noise or generic
performance degradation.
WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR ELECTRIC
SHOCK:
- This device must be powered exclusively by earth-
connected mains sockets in electrical networks
compliant with the IEC 364 or similar rules.
- Install the amplifier into a rack cabinet.
- With a TDC amplifier, a sectioning breaker between
the mains connections and the amplifier must be
installed inside the rack cabinet. The suggested
device for TDC-1200W and TDC-3200W is 10A class
C or D.
- Before powering this amplifier, verify that the
correct voltage rating is being used.
- Verify that your mains connection is capable of
satisfying the power ratings of the device.
- Do not use this amplifier if the electrical power cord
is frayed or broken.
- Output terminals are hazardous: wiring connections
to theseterminals require installation by an instructed
person.
- Take care to secure the output terminal before
switching the device on.
- Take care to secure the output terminal before
switching the device on.
- To avoid electrical shock, do not touch any exposed
speaker wiring while the amplifier is operating.
- Do not spill water or other liquids into or on the
amplifier.
- No naked flame sources such as lighted candles
should be placed on the amplifier.
- Do not remove the cover. Failing to do so will expose
you to potentially dangerous voltage.
- It is necessary to verify these fundamental
requirements of safety and, in case of doubt, require
an accurate check by qualified personnel.
- The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for
damages caused to persons, things, or data due to
an improper or missing ground connection.
- Contact the authorized service center for ordinary
and extraordinary maintenance.

5. Connections
5.1. Signal grounding
There is no ground switch or terminal on the TDC
series amplifiers. All shield terminals of input
connectors are directly connected to the chassis.
This means that the unit’s signal grounding system is
automatic. To limit hum and/or interference entering
the signal path, use balanced input connections.
In the interests of safety, the unit MUST always
operate with electrical safety earth connected to the
chassis via the dedicated wire in the 3-wire cable. (ref.
Chapter 4:3. AC mains supply.) Never disconnect the
ground pin on the AC mains power cord.
5.2.Analog balanced input
Balanced analog inputs are provided with two XLR
female connectors. Refer to Panel D for proper
pinouts.
5.3.Analog unbalanced inputs
Unbalanced analog inputs are provided with two RCA
connectors. Refer to panel D for proper RCA pinouts.
5.4.Analog balanced output (through)
Balanced analog outputs for sending the signal to
another amplifier are provided with two XLR male
connectors. Refer to Panel D for proper pinouts.
5.5. Loudspeaker connections
TDC-1200W, TDC-3200W
CLASS 2 WIRING
Phoenix (Euroblock) terminal with 4 pins is provided
for loudspeaker connections. Refer to Panel D for
proper connections for single channel mode and
bridged mode.
To remain within safe operating conditions, when
using low impedance loads - i.e. 4 Ohm or less (8 Ohm
or less in bridge mode) - connections must be made
with a four-wire cable. Use suitable wire gauges to
minimize power and damping factor losses in speaker
cables.
5.6. Ethernet connection
Ethernet connection is provided via the rear port
labeled “RS485 ETHERNET“.
MAG Cinema recommends the use of Ethernet
Cat5 straight-through - patch - cables with pin/
pair assignments TIA/EIA-568-B, i.e. T568B (refer
Panel D).
