General Notes

 

1.An optional McIntosh External Subwoofer Rotary Control, Model Number R1163, is available from your McIntosh Dealer.

2.Do not connect the Amplifier’s Speaker Negative Terminal Connection directly to the Vehicle Chassis. Failure to observe this could result in damage to your Amplifier.

3.It is advisable to place an inline fuse as close as possible to the battery.

4.For additional connection information, refer to the owner’s manual(s) for any component(s) connected to the MCC204 Amplifier.

5.There is a built-in turn on delay which will mute the speaker outputs for approximately two seconds when the amplifier is turned on.

6.It is very important that loudspeaker cables of adequate size be used in your music system, to ensure that there will be no power loss or heating. If your loudspeaker cables are 25 feet (7.62m) or less, use at least 16 Gauge wire size or larger.

7.The MCC204 Line Level OUTPUTs are wired as a “Y” connection with the INPUTs to pass the input signals on to

additional amplifiers (keep cable lengths as short as possible). The McIntosh MX406 Control Center is capable of driving several additional

power amplifiers with no degradation of the signal.

8. The MCC204 can accept speaker level inputs at its Input Jacks. Refer to the diagram for

connection.
