How to Prepare Hookup Cables
The McIntosh XRT29 Loudspeaker System utilizes bind- ing posts for speaker wire connections. Prepare the Loud- speaker Hookup Cables that attach to the Power Amplifier Output Terminals:
Bare wire cable ends:
Carefully remove sufficient insulation from the cable ends, refer to figures 20, 21 & 22. If the cable is stranded, care-
fully twist the strands to-
gether as tightly as pos- sible.
Note: If desired, the twisted ends can be tinned with solder to keep the strands together and/or attach a spade lug.
Spade lug or prepared wire connection:
Insert the spade lug connector or prepared section of the cable end into the terminal side access hole, and tighten the terminal cap until the cable is firmly clamped into the terminal so the wires cannot slip out. Refer to figures 23, 24 & 25.
