How to Connect for Four Channels
How to Connect for Four Channels
1. Connect a wire from the Control Center Amp On to the
MCC204 ON Connector on the right side of the ampli-
fier.
Note: All cables should be connected to the amplifier
before connecting the DC power cables to the
battery.
2. Connect a wire from a McIntosh Control Center with
Power Guard to the MCC204 PG Connector on the
right side of the amplifier.
3. Connect cables (up to 12AWG) from four separate
loudspeakers, to the Amplifier’s Channels 1, 2, 3 and 4
OUTPUT Terminals, being careful to observe the cor-
rect polarities.
4. Connect audio cables from the Control Center Outputs
to the MCC204 Inputs 1, 2, 3 and 4.
5. Optional Connection illustrated below shows the SUB
OUTput connected to a separate Subwoofer Power
Amplifier and Subwoofer Loudspeaker.
Note: The Subwoofer Output Signal is at line-level,
summed from all the Input Channels and is
available regardless of the MCC204 Operating
Mode used. The Subwoofer Output Level can be
remotely controlled by the optional McIntosh
External Subwoofer Rotary Control connected to
the SUB REMOTE CONTROL jack on the
MCC204.
6. Connect the MCC204 to the vehicle battery terminals
using size 4AWG (maximum) cables.
Note: It is advisable to place an inline fuse of a suitable
size as close as possible to the battery.
