How to Connect Loudspeakers
Caution: The supplied AC Power Cord should not be
connected to the Rear Panel of the MA2275
Integrated Amplifier until after Connections have
been made.
1. Prepare the Loudspeaker Hookup Cables that attach to
the MA2275 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:
Insert the banana plug into the hole at the top of the
terminal.
Tighten the top
portion of the
terminal post
and the set
screw to secure
the banana plug
in place.
Note: The use of Banana Plugs is for use in the United
States and Canada only. Refer to figures 7 and 8.
2. Connect the Loudspeaker hookup cables to the output
terminals that match the impedance of the Loudspeak-
er, being careful to observe the correct polarities. Out-
put impedance connections of 2S (ohm), 4S (ohm) and
8S (ohm) are provided. If the Loudspeaker’s imped-
ance is in-between the available connections, use the
nearest lower impedance connection.
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.
