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:
Insert the banana plug into the hole at the top of the
terminal. Refer to figure 7.
Note: Banana Plugs are for use
in the United States and
Canada only.
2. Connect the loudspeaker hookup ca-
bles to the output terminals that match

Caution: The supplied AC Power Cord should not be
connected to the Rear Panel of the MC275
Amplifier until after the Loudspeaker Connec-
tions have been made.
When connecting Loudspeakers to the MC275 it is very
important to use cables of adequate size, so there is little to
no power loss in the cables. The size is specified in Gauge
Numbers or AWG (American Wire Gauge). The smaller
the Gauge number, the larger the wire size:
If your loudspeaker cables are 50 feet (38.1m) or less,
use at least 14 Gauge.
If your loudspeaker cables are 100 feet (76.2m) or less,
use at least 12 Gauge.
1. Prepare the Loudspeaker Hookup Cables that attach to
the 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
possible.
Note: If desired, the twisted ends can be tinned with
solder to keep the strands together, or attach
spade lug and/or banana connector.
