How to Connect for Two Channels
How to Connect for Two Channels
1. Connect the cable from the Control Center Amp On to
the MCC404/MCC404M ON Connector on the right
side of the amplifier.
Note: All cables should be connected to the amplifier before
connecting the DC power cables to the battery.
2. Connect a cable from a McIntosh Control Center with
Power Guard to the MCC404/MCC404M PG Connec-
tor on the right side of the amplifier.
3. Connect cables (up to 12AWG) from two separate
loudspeakers, one to the Amplifier Bridged Channels 1
and 2 Terminals, and one to Bridged Channels 3 and 4
Terminals, being careful to observe the correct polari-
ties.
4. Connect audio cables from the Control Center Outputs
to the MCC404/MCC404M Inputs 1 and 3.
5. Optional Connection allows the SUB Outputs to be
connected to a separate Subwoofer Power Amplifier,
regardless of the MCC404/MCC404M Operating
Mode used.
Note: The Subwoofer Outputs are line-level outputs and
summed from all the Input Channels. They can be
remotely controlled by connecting a cable from the SUB
REMOTE CONTROL jack to the optional external
rotary control.
6. Optional Connection allows the SUB REMOTE CON-
TROL to be connected to the Power Amplifier, regard-
less of the MCC404/MCC404M Operating Mode used.
7. Connect the MCC404/MCC404M to the vehicle bat-
tery terminals using size 4 AWG (Maximum) cables.
Note: It is advisable to place an in-line fuse of a suitable size
as close as possible to the battery.
