How to Connect for Stereo
1.Connect cables from the Balanced Outputs of a McIn- tosh Preamplifier or Control Center to the MC275 Left and Right Balanced Inputs.
Note: An optional hookup is to use unbalanced cables.
2.Prepare the Loudspeaker Hookup Cables that attach to the MC275 by choosing one of the methods below:
Bare wire cable ends:
Carefully remove sufficient insulation from the cable ends, refer to figures 1, 2 & 3. If the cable is stranded, carefully twist the strands together as tightly as pos-
sible.
Note: If desired, the 
twisted ends can be 
tinned with solder to 
keep the strands
together.
Spade lug or prepared wire connection:
Insert the spade lug connector or prepared section of the cable end under the terminal strip screw and tighten the screw until the cable is firmly clamped into the ter-
minal strip
so the wires can-
not slip out. Refer
to figures 4, 5 & 6.

3.Connect the Loudspeaker hookup cables to the output terminals that match the impedance of the Loudspeak- er, being careful to observe the correct polarities. Out- put impedance connections of 4S (ohm), 8S (ohm) and 16S (ohm) are provided. If the Loudspeaker’s imped- ance is
4.Place the MC275 POWER Switch to the OFF Position and connect the supplied power cord to an active AC outlet.
