How to Connect with Subwoofer Channel

1.Connect a wire from the Control Center Amp On to the MCC204 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 MCC204 PG Connector on the right side of the amplifier.

3.Connect cables (up to 12AWG) from two separate up- per range loudspeakers, to the Amplifier’s Channels 1 and 2 OUTPUT Terminals, and subwoofer loud- speaker to Channels 3 and 4 BRIDGED OUTPUT Ter- minals, being careful to observe the correct polarities.

4.Connect audio cables from the Control Center Outputs to the MCC204 Inputs 1 and 2.

Note: The Subwoofer Output Signal is at line-level, summed from all the Input Channels and is available regardless of the MCC204 Operating Mode used. The Subwoofer Output Level can be remotely controlled by the optional McIntosh External Subwoofer Rotary Control connected to the SUB REMOTE CONTROL jack on the MCC204.
