USE ONLY M&S SYSTEMS BRAND CABLE

 as called out in these instructions. The cable is designed and 

constructed with electrical specifi cations necessary for proper audio performance.

YSTEMS’ BRAND CABLE OR CABLE SUBSTITUTION WILL VOID PRODUCT WARRANTY.

 

Note: All M&S Systems’ cable has M&S 

Systems and the part number printed on it!

 

DO NOT

 power up master until all speakers and the amplifi er are connected.

 

DO

 ensure that all rough-in instructions have been followed before power is applied to system.

 

DO NOT SPLICE CABLES. 

Splices are unreliable and defeat the signal isolation properties of the cable.

 

DO NOT COIL OR BUNDLE

 the MS4X cable. This will cause electronic feedback.

  If extra cables have been run for possible future speaker additions, care must be taken that these cables do not get 

connected to the control panel or amplifi er unit. Unterminated cables may damage the control panel or amplifi er.

 

DO NOT

 over-tighten the screws for the volume controls, speakers or the control panel to prevent cracking.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

W

IRE PREPARATION

At each cable end, strip approximately 4 Inches of jacket (MS5XSC and MS2SXSC) 
from wires and separate colored wires from each other. Strip 1/2 Inch of insulation 
from each wire as shown in fi gure 1. On the MS7XSC, strip 1/4 Inch of insulation from 
each wire as shown in fi gure 2.

ATELLITE VOLUME CONTROLS

Connect the shield wire from 
outside shield of the MS5XSC to 
the MS2SXSC shield wires. 

DO 

NOT

 connect the shield wire for the 

brown/gray pair at this end of the 
cable! Wire nut each colored wire 
to its respective wire as shown in 
fi gures 3-6 for the volume control 
to be used. Connect the BLUE and 
VIOLET wires to the corresponding 
terminals of the satellite speaker(s). 
Mount the volume control to the 
single gang box using the two 
screws provided with the volume 
control.

ATELLITE CEILING SPEAKERS

At each speaker

approximately 4 Inches 
of jacket from the 
MS2SXSC cables and 
separate the colored 
wires from each other.
Strip 1/2 Inch of insulation 
from each wire. Connect 
the MS2SXSC cable to the
speaker as shown in 
fi 

gure 8. NOTE: The

bare drain wire from the
cable is not connected 
and should be cut off.
On speakers equipped 
with RED and BLACK
terminals, connect the BLUE wire to the BLACK terminal and the
VIOLET wire to the RED terminal.

ATELLITE WALL SPEAKERS

At each speaker location, strip 
approximately 4 Inches of jacket from 
the MS2SXSC cables and separate 
the colored wires from each other. 
Strip 1/2 Inch of insulation from each 
wire. Connect the MS2SXSC cable 
to the speaker as shown in fi gure 9. 
Note: The bare drain wire from the 
cable is not connected and should 
be cut off.  NOTE: On speakers 
equipped with RED and BLACK 
terminals, connect the BLUE wire to 
the BLACK terminal and the VIOLET 
wire to the RED terminal.

MPLIFIER MOUNTING

The amplifi er module will install on a 
single vertical stud previously marked 
during rough-in. The vertical height of the 
amplifi er will allow complete coverage 
over the wall openings for the remote 
volume controls and control panel wiring. 
Mark the location of the top mounting 
keyhole and bottom mounting holes. With
the amplifi er  removed verify the location 
of the vertical stud by installing the 
enclosed mounting screws at the marked
locations. Once the location of the stud
has been verifi ed, remove the screws.
Remove the cover from the amplifi er. While positioning the 
amplifi er (with cover removed) into position, bring the volume 
control and preamp cabling through the holes provided. Secure the
amplifi er to the wall in the marked locations with the screws provided. 

FAILURE TO PROPERLY MOUNT THE AMPLIFIER MAY LEAD TO
AMPLIFIER DAMAGE AND/OR VOLUME CONTROL/PREAMP WIRING 
DAMAGE.

ONTROL HOOKUP

Locate the MS7X5SC cable from the 
Control Panel (MC960CP). Connect 
each of the 7 colored wires and shield
drain wire from the MS7XSC cable to
the 8 pin terminal block as shown in 
fi gure 11. Plug the 8 pin connector into
the jack labeled PREAMP 
INTERCONNECT. Locate the 
MS7X5SC cable from the second 
power amplifi er (MC960PA), if used. Connect each of the 7 colored 
wires and shield drain wire from the MS7XSC cable to the 8 pin 
terminal block as shown in fi gure 11. Plug the 8 pin connector into 
the jack labeled TO SECOND AMP.

Locate MS2SXSC cable from the Power Amp and connect the 
BLUE and VIOLET wires to their respective terminals on the Power 
Amp as shown in fi gure 12. Note: If additional Power Amps are 
used, connect the shield drain wire of both the MS2SXSC cables 
from the Control Panel and 
the additional Power Amp 
together using a wire nut. 
Locate MS2SXSC cable 
from the Control Panel 
and connect the Blue &
Violet wires to their 
respective terminals 
on the Power Amp as
shown in Figure 12.
Note: The bare shield
wire from the MS2SXSC 
is not connected and 
should be cut off, unless 
additional Power Amps 
are used. In this case, 
connect the shield wire 
going to the next Power 
Amp, to the drain wire 
from the Control Panel.

Gather all volume
control cables (MS5XSC). Pigtail all shield drain wires (bare) from
the MS5XSC cables to the SHIELD terminal on the remote 
amplifi er. Then connect each of the color coded wires to its 
respective terminals as shown in Figure 12.

ONO CONFIGURATION

Each MC960PA remote 
amplifi 

er is equipped with

a stereo/mono select
jumper. All MC960PA 
amplifi 

ers are shipped

from the factory with this 
jumper in the STEREO 
position. If an amplifi 

er is 

required to drive more than 
10 monaural speakers, this 
jumper must be set to the
MONO position. Setting
the jumper to the MONO position will cause monaural
output to all speakers whether they are connected via
stereo controls or mono controls. The jumper setting of 
one MC960PA amplifi 

er has no effect on other MC960PA

amplifi ers.
