The Rear Panel Trigger B Jack can provide either a 5 or 12
Volt Output when activated, with 5 Volts as the default.
McIntosh Components with Power Control utilize 5 Volts;
non-McIntosh components when connected to the C500C
might required a higher voltage to switch them On or Off.
To change the output voltage to 12 volts follow the steps
below:
1. Press the SETUP Push-button once to access the Setup
Controller Mode unless the C500C is already in the
Setup Controller Mode.
2. Rotate the MENU Control until the words “TRIGB
LVL 5V” appears. Refer to figure 16.
3. Rotate the SELECT 2 Control until the Front Panel Al-
phanumeric Display indicates “TRIGB LVL 12V”. Re-
fer to figure 17.
4. If no other adjustments are to be made at this time,
press the SETUP Push-button to exit the Setup Control-
ler Mode or proceed to the next desired Setup Control-
ler Mode for adjustment.

Triamp (Balanced Outputs)
The C500P and C500T Preamplifiers provide three Bal-
anced XLR Output Connectors for each channel. One Out-
put is labeled MAIN (non-switched) and two additional
Outputs MAIN/SPKR1 and MAIN/SPKR2 (switched On
or Off by using the Remote Control ). Outputs MAIN/
SPKR1 and MAIN/SPKR2 may be configured to remain
On along with the MAIN Output for use in systems with
three Power Amplifiers per channel. To change the MAIN/
SPKR1 and MAIN/SPKR2 Outputs perform the following
steps:
1. Press the SETUP Push-button once to access the Setup
Controller Mode unless the C500C is already in the
Setup Controller Mode.
2. Rotate the MENU Control until the words “TRIAMP
OFF” appears. Refer to figure 18.

3. Rotate the SELECT 2 Control until the Front Panel Al-
phanumeric Display indicates “TRIAMP ON”. Refer
to figure 19.
Note: The Unbalanced SPKR1 and SPKR2 Main Outputs
are still controllable (On or Off) with the Remote
Control.
4. If no other adjustments are to be made at this time,
press the SETUP Push-button to exit the Setup Control-
ler Mode or proceed to the next desired Setup Control-
ler Mode for adjustment.
D/A Control (McIntosh MDA1000)
When the McIntosh MDA1000 D/A Converter and
MCD1000 CD Player are connected to the C500 Controller
there are special functions to enhanced operation of the D/A
Converter with the C500. The following steps activate these
functions:
1. Press the SETUP Push-button once to access the Setup
Controller Mode unless the C500C is already in the
Setup Controller Mode.
2. Rotate the MENU Control until the words “D/A CTRL
OFF” appears. Refer to figure 20.
3. Rotate the SELECT 2 Control until the Front Panel Al-
phanumeric Display indicates “D/A CTRL ON”. Refer
to figure 21.
4. Rotate the Menu Control until the words “D/A INP1
ON” appears. Refer to figure 22.
In the following step the memory of the C500C will be up-
dated to reflect the assigment of active Digital Inputs on the
MDA1000. This will prevent having to go through unused
inputs when changing the D/A Inputs by using either the
C500 Front Panel Controls or the Remote Control.
