18 Russound MCA-C5 User and Installation Manual
Speaker Output Connections
CAUTION: Do not connect L- and R- together. Use four-conductor cable
and wire each ground individually. Do not use a common ground. Shorting
between terminals will cause damage to the digital amplier.
The MCA-C5 supports speaker outputs for zones 1 through 6. These 40 watt
per channel stereo speaker level outputs have high-current two-channel digital
ampliers. Each speaker connection requires a 4 to 8-ohm load.
The speakers are connected to the MCA-C5 using the supplied modular snap
speaker connectors. Each of these color coded connectors is designated for
the speaker set of a particular amplied zone. To avoid confusion, connect one
zone speaker set at a time starting with Zone 1, taking care to keep zone and
speaker wire identities straight.
Strip 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm) o the end of each speaker cable jacket. Then
strip ¼ inch (0.7 cm) of insulation o each wire. Twist the speaker wire strands
together so there are no strands separated from the bundle.
Lift the black lever for each connection until it locks open and insert the
proper speaker wire, matching channel and polarity for all four wires. Snap
the lever down. Check to make sure there are no stray strands of wire outside
the terminals. If there are, remove the wire, twist the strands together, and
reconnect the wire to the terminal. Insert the modular connector into its
designated output on the back of the MCA-C5.
All 8 zones have RCA line outs. For audio output to zones 7 and 8, use that
option. These are set as xed or variable output through SCS-C5 software.
