Connect a 7-pin Midi cable to the MIDI OUT port of the MC6. Phantom power is supplied received through pins 6 and 7. Phantom power is chained to pins 6 & 7 on the MIDI IN port as well, allowing you to power other devices connected to the MC6’s MIDI IN port (if the receiving device accepts phantom power via MIDI).
If sending DC power via the pins, the polarity does not matter.
