The McIntosh MCC602TM is a highly versatile amplifier
that can be configured in many ways. This manual gives
examples of some of the most common configurations and
will guide you through the basic operation, however we
suggest you refer to your dealer for further information on
the use of this unit.
Power
The MCC602TM will turn On or Off when the Control
Center turns On or Off.
Note: There must be an Amp ON connection between the
MCC602TM and the signal source unit in order for the amplifier
power turn On and Off to function.
Input Sensitivity Controls
The SENSITIVITY controls allow the setting of the input
sensitivity, of both amplifier channels, to provide an ideal
match for the signal source being used. The most desirable
setting allows the Control Center to have a useful volume
range as wide as possible from loud to soft.
A good place to start is to set the
amplifiers SENSITIVITY Control to the
output voltage called out in your control
center owners manual. The Sensitivity
Controls can be set for any sensitivity from
1 volts to 8 volts. Refer to figure 4.
Note: When used in conjunction with a McIntosh control
center, you may find setting the Sensitivity controls to
the center detent (2V) works best.
In Mono Parallel
Mode the Input
SENSITIVITY
Control for the
CHANNEL 2/MONO channel is used and the
SENSITIVITY
Control for CHANNEL 1 is
inoperative.
Mode Switch
In the Mono Parallel Mode, the two channels are tied
together allowing the amplifier to
operate as one full frequency range
600-watt amplifier. A typical Mono
Mode application is to drive a
subwoofer.
Refer to figure 5.

Power Output Meters
There are two illuminated watt meters on the glass panel,
displaying the power output for both channels. The upper
scale shows power in Watts, the lower scale displays the
power in
Decibels
(dB). The
meters
respond
to all the
musical
informa-
tion be-
ing pro-
duced by the amplifier. They indicate to an accuracy of at
least 95% of the power output with only a single cycle of a
2000Hz tone burst. Refer to figure 6.
