How to Connect for Two Channels

How to Connect for Two Channels

1.Connect a wire from the Control Center Amp On to the MCC302 ON Connector on the right side of the amplifier.

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 MCC302 PG Connector on the right side of the amplifier.

3.Connect cables (up to 12AWG) from two separate loudspeaker systems, to the Amplifier’s Channels 1 and 2 OUTPUT Terminals, being careful to observe the correct polarities.

4.Connect audio cables from the Control Center Outputs to the MCC302 Inputs 1 and 2.

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 Outputs are line-level outputs and summed from all the Input Channels. They can be remotely controlled by connecting a cable from the SUB REMOTE CONTROL jack to the Optional External Rotary Control.

6.Optional Connection allows the SUB REMOTE CON- TROL to be connected to the Power Amplifier, regard- less of the MCC302 Operating Mode used.

7.Connect the MCC302 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.
