How to Prepare Hookup Cables

The McIntosh XR27 Loudspeaker System utilizes binding 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.

1.Remove the jumpers between the LOW and MID/HIGH Binding Posts and save them for possible future use.

2.Connect a Loudspeaker cable from the Negative (-) Binding Post of the Amplifier Number One to the XR27 LOW COMmon (-) Binding Post.

Note: If the XR27 Loudspeaker is installed into wall, use the IN-WALL Binding Posts instead of the LOW Binding Posts.

3.Connect a Loudspeaker cable from the Positive (+) Binding Post of the Amplifier Number One to the XR27 LOW 4S (+) Binding Post.

4.Connect a Loudspeaker cable from the Negative (-) Binding Post of the Amplifier Number Two to the XR27 MID/HIGH COMmon (-) Binding Post.

5.Connect a Loudspeaker cable from the Positive (+) Binding Post of the Amplifier Number Two to the XR27 MID/HIGH 4S (+) Binding Post.

6.Tighten all of the Loudspeaker and Amplifier Binding Posts.
