How to Prepare Hookup Cables

The McIntosh XRT28 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 19, 20 & 21. If the cable is stranded, carefully 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 22, 23 & 24.
