Caution: The supplied AC Power Cord should not be
connected to the Rear Panel of the MC207
Amplifier until after the Loudspeaker
Connections have been made. Failure to observe
this could result in Electric Shock.
1. Connect Audio Cables from the Zone B Outputs of a
McIntosh A/V Control Center to the MC207 INPUTS
(Channels 5 and 6), making sure to match up the channel
identifications between both units.
2. Connect a power control cable from the McIntosh A/V
Control Center Zone B Power Control Out to the
MC207 POWER CONTROL ZB.
3. Prepare the Loudspeaker Hookup Cables that attach to
the MC207 Power Amplifier 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 to-
gether as tightly as possible.
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:
Tighten the top portion of the terminal post and insert
the banana plug into the opening at the top of the ter-
minal. Refer to figure 7.
Note: The use of Banana Plugs is
for use in the United States
and Canada only.
4. Connect the Loudspeaker Hookup
Cables from the MC207 OUT-
PUT Terminals to the Loudspeak-
ers, being careful to observe the
correct polarities and channel des-
ignation.
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.
5. Place the IMPEDANCE Switch to the position (4 ohm
or 8 ohm) that matches the impedance of the connected
Loudspeakers. In the event that some of the Loudspeak-
ers in the system are of different impedance, use the im-
pedance of the Left and Right Front Loudspeakers to
set the IMPEDANCE Switch position.
6. Connect the MC207 Power Cord to an active AC outlet.
