Connection with one Amplifier

Preparing Hookup Cables

The McIntosh Loudspeaker Systems utilize binding posts for speaker wire connections. Prepare the Loudspeaker 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 43, 44 and 45. If the cable is

stranded, care- fully twist the

strands together as tightly as possible.

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 46, 47 and 48.

Connections using a single Amplifier

1.Connect a Loudspeaker cable from the COMmon (Negative) Binding Post of the appropriate Amplifier Channel to the Loudspeaker NEGATIVE (-) Binding Post.

2.Connect a Loudspeaker cable from the 8S (OHM) or Positive (+) Binding Post of the same Amplifier Chan- nel to the Loudspeaker POSITIVE (+) Binding Post.

Note: The WOOFER and MID/TWT NEGATIVE (-) Binding Posts must have a jumper installed between them. Likewise, the WOOFER and MID/TWT POSITIVE (+) Binding Posts must also have a jumper installed between them.

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

4.Connect the remaining Loudspeaker(s) and Amplifier Channel(s) in the same manner.
