General Notes

1. Do not connect the Amplifier Speaker Negative Terminal

Connection directly to the Vehicle Chassis. Failure to observe

this could result in damage to your Amplifier.

2. For additional connection information, refer to the owner’s

manual(s) for any component(s) connected to the

MCC602TM Amplifier.

3. There is a built-in turn on delay which will mute the speaker

outputs for approximately two seconds when the amplifier is

turned on.

4. It is very important that loudspeaker cables of adequate size

be used in your music system, to ensure that there will be no

power loss or heating. Use at least 14 Gauge (AWG) wire size

or larger. The speaker output terminals are large enough to

accept 12 Gage wire.

5. It is advisable to place an in-line fuse as close as possible to

the battery.

6. The pin configuration for the XLR Balanced Input connectors

on the MCC602TM. Refer to the diagram for connections.

PIN 1: Shield or ground

PIN 2: (+) input

PIN 3: (-) input

7. The MCC602TM can accept speaker

level inputs at its Balanced Input Jacks.

Refer to the diagram for connection.

PIN 1: No connection

PIN 2: Power Amplifier Output Connection (+) from the

Control Center

PIN 3: Power Amplifier Output Connection (-) from the
