How to Operate the MA7000, con’t

Using a Separate Power Amplifier

There are two different ways to use a separate power am-

plifier with a MA7000. The first way is to use the separate

amplifier instead of the MA7000 built-in Power Amplifier.

Connect the Loudspeakers to the separate power amplifier

and remove the McIntosh Jumpers that are located between

the OUTPUTS 1 Jacks and the POWER AMP INput Jacks.

Refer to figure 8.

Note: The McIntosh Jumpers must be connected, between

the above mentioned jacks, when the MA7000 Internal

Power Amplifier is to be used.

The second way is to use both a separate power amplifier

and the MA7000 built-in Power Amplifier. Connect one

pair of Loudspeakers to the separate power amplifier and

the second pair to the MA7000. Refer to the MA7000 Out-

put Connection Diagrams located on the separate folded

sheet “Mc1B” and figure 8 below.

Note: The MA7000 VOLUME Control will affect the sound

level of all the Loudspeakers.

Using Output 2

The MA7000 has provisions for connecting an external

Power Amplifier (to drive Loudspeakers in another room)

and an external sensor for remote operation of the MA7000

from that room. With an external Power Amplifier con-

nected (as illustrated on the McIntosh Connection Diagram

separate sheet “Mc1B”), press the Front Panel OUTPUT 2

Push-button or press on the Remote Control the 2nd Push-

button followed by pressing the OUTPUT 2 Push-button to

switch On or Off the external Power Amplifier.
