Caution: The supplied AC Power Cord should not be
connected to the Rear Panel of the MC207
Amplifier until after the Loudspeaker Connections
have been made. Failure to observe this could
result in Electric Shock.
1. Connect Balanced Audio Cables from the Zone A Out-
puts of a McIntosh A/V Control Center to the MC207
INPUTS (Channels 1-7), making sure to match up the
channel identifications between both units.
Note: In place of the Balanced Audio Cables, unbalanced
cables may be used. If a DB25 cable is used between
the MULTI-CHANNEL INPUT of the MC207 and the
Multi-Channel Output, the separate Power Control
cable is not needed, proceed to step 3.
2. Connect a power control cable from the McIntosh A/V
Control Center Zone A Power Control Out to the
MC207 POWER CONTROL ZA.
3. Prepare the
Loudspeaker
Hookup Cables
that attach to the
MC207 Power
Amplifier 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, or attach spade
lug and/or banana connector.
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 4, 5 & 6.
Banana plug connection:
Tighten the top portion of the terminal post and insert
the banana plug into the opening
at the top of the terminal. Refer
to figure 7.
Note: The use of Banana Plugs is
for use in the United States
and Canada only.
4. Connect the Loudspeaker
Hookup Cables from the MC207
OUTPUT Terminals to the Loud-
speakers, being careful to observe the correct polarities
and channel designation.
WARNING: Loudspeaker terminals are hazardous live
and present a risk of electric shock. For
additional instruction on making
Loudspeaker Connections contact your
McIntosh Dealer or McIntosh Technical
Support.
5. Place the IMPEDANCE Switch to the position (4 ohm
or 8 ohm) that matches the impedance of the connected
Loudspeakers. In the event that some of the Loud-
speakers in the system are of different impedance, use
the impedance of the Left and Right Front Loudspeak-
ers to set the IMPEDANCE Switch position.
6. Connect the MC207 Power Cord to an active AC out-
let.
