How to Connect for Four Channels

How to Connect for Four Channels

1.Connect a wire from the Control Center Amp On to the MCC204 ON Connector on the right side of the ampli- fier.

Note: All cables should be connected to the amplifier before connecting the DC power cables to the battery.

2.Connect a wire from a McIntosh Control Center with Power Guard to the MCC204 PG Connector on the right side of the amplifier.

3.Connect cables (up to 12AWG) from four separate loudspeakers, to the Amplifier’s Channels 1, 2, 3 and 4 OUTPUT Terminals, being careful to observe the cor- rect polarities.

4.Connect audio cables from the Control Center Outputs to the MCC204 Inputs 1, 2, 3 and 4.

5.Optional Connection illustrated below shows the SUB OUTput connected to a separate Subwoofer Power Amplifier and Subwoofer Loudspeaker.

McIntosh Control Center

Note: The Subwoofer Output Signal is at line-level, summed from all the Input Channels and is available regardless of the MCC204 Operating Mode used. The Subwoofer Output Level can be remotely controlled by the optional McIntosh External Subwoofer Rotary Control connected to the SUB REMOTE CONTROL jack on the MCC204.

6.Connect the MCC204 to the vehicle battery terminals using size 4AWG (maximum) cables.

Note: It is advisable to place an inline fuse of a suitable size as close as possible to the battery.
