Using your Dream Player MC

Dream Player MC – User Manual
3 Connections
The following section provides detailed instructions for connecting your Dream Player
MC. To get started, all you need to do is connect the Power Input, and the Audio Output.
If you want to get more advanced you can use the Trigger Inputs.
3.1 Power Input
The Dream Player MC can accept AC or DC power inputs.
Typically a wall transformer, or wall-wart is used, but any
suitable AC or DC power supply can be used. Any voltage
from 12V to 18V AC or DC can be used, but the higher the
voltage, the warmer the MC will run. The most efficient
voltage to use is 12VDC, especially when used in
combination with PNET trigger boards, 12VDC is highly
recommended. At this voltage the Dream Player MC will
draw about 400mA when playing, so make sure to use a
power supply that can supply at least 1A of current. As a
convenience to you, we also offer wall-transformer power
supplies tested and ready to run with your Dream Player at
To connect the power supply to the Dream Player MC,
locate the 2-position “Power Input” terminal strip.
If your desired power-supply comes with a connector on
the end, simply clip it off as shown to the right. Separate
the two wires and strip some insulation off to expose the
wires then twist them to keep the strands together. Secure
the stripped wire ends to the 2 terminals of the Power Input
terminal strip. The polarity of an AC or DC power source
is not important as there is a bridge rectifier included with
the Dream Player MC.
