How to Connect

The McIntosh XLS112 Powered Subwoofer may be turned On or Off by two different methods. The preferred method is to utilize the Power Control Signal from a McIntosh A/V Control Center or Audio Control Center. If the Power Con- trol Signal is not available, the XLS112 has built-in signal- sensing circuitry which will automatically turn-on the Pow- ered Subwoofer.

1.Connect a power control cable from the McIntosh A/V Control Center or Audio Control Center Power Control Out Jack to the McIntosh XLS112 POWER CONTROL IN Jack.

2.Connect a power control cable from the McIntosh XLS112 POWER CONTROL OUT Jack to the McIn- tosh Power Amplifier Control In Jack.

Notes: 1. If two or more McIntosh XLS112 Powered Subwoofers are being used in the same system, connect the POWER CONTROL OUT from the first XLS112 to the next XLS112 POWER CONTROL IN Jack and then onto the McIntosh Power Amplifier.

2.The XLS112’s Power Control Input will function with 5 to 20 Volts DC applied.

3.Connect a Balanced Audio Cable from the McIntosh A/V Control Center or Audio Control Center Subwoofer Out to the McIntosh XLS112 MONO INPUT(S).

Notes: 1. If two or more McIntosh XLS112 Powered Subwoofers are being used in the same system, connect a second Audio Cable from the first XLS112 MONO OUTPUT(S) to the next XLS112 MONO INPUT(S).

2.The unbalanced L (Left) or R (Right) INPUT(S) jack may be connected instead of the Balanced Input jack.

3.If the input signal is insufficient for proper system balance, connect an unbalanced cable from the McIntosh A/V Control Center or Surround Decoder Subwoofer Out to a “Y” adapter and connect the “Y” adapter outputs to both the L (Left) and R (Right) INPUT Jacks. This will increase the input gain of the XLS112 by 6dB.

4.Attach to the Front Panel the supplied Loudspeaker Grille.

5.Connect the XLS112 power cord to an active AC out- let.
