General Information
'HVFULSWLRQ
The Rauland MCX300 AM-FM Tuner and Cassette Tape Player comes ready to be
rack-mounted. It includes a separate 12-VDC power supply that can be plugged
into any convenient 120-VAC power outlet. There is a standard female “F”
connector to accommodate a coaxial cable from the external antenna required for
the AM-FM tuner, and an RCA-type phono jack for connecting the unit’s
unbalanced monaural audio output to a sound or communications system. The
audio output provides ample signal for the auxiliary input of an amplifier or a
communications system.
Revised Model
This manual is for the revised MCX300, which began shipping in May 1996. It
features a slightly different tuner and tape player but retains the same specifications
and convenient plug-in connectors as the previous model. For the older-versions of
the MCX300, see KI-1745, KI-1967, KI-1950 and KI-1972.
