Making Connections

The rear panel of the MTI100 allows the unit to 

be connected to speakers, other sources, additional 

amplifiers, power control, and AC power. 
Speakers should be connected before connecting AC 

power to avoid the RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK or 
DAMAGE. 

Speaker Connection

The goal is to connect the right-side speakers using 

quality speaker cable (16AWG or heavier) to the 

right Speaker Output Terminals and the left to the 

remaining pair of Speaker Output Terminals paying 

attention to the polarity- Positive (+) to Positive and 

Negative (-) to Negative.  

Loosen the Speaker Output Terminals by turning 

the top counter-clockwise until a sufficient opening 

appears to insert the exposed (1/2 inch/12.7 mm) 

bare wire end (or spade) of the speaker cable. 

Hand-tighten the Speaker Output Terminals by 

turning clockwise. Then use 

the supplied McIntosh Wrench 

to give a final 90 degree turn. 

Do not over tighten. 

In the United States and 

Canada, banana plugs can be 

used to connect speakers. First 

tighten the Speaker Output 

Terminals as described above. With speaker cables 

connected to the banana plug as directed by your 

banana plug’s instructions, insert the banana plug 

into the center hole of the Speaker Output Terminal 

paying attention to polarity. 

DO NOT combine any of the output terminals. 

Neither positive to positive (+) nor negative to 

negative (-) should be attempted

This will cause 

damage. A subwoofer output is provided with a full-

range mono output.

Bluetooth Connection

When powered on, the MTI100 is in Bluetooth 

Discovery mode. You do not need to do anything 

more to the MTI100 than turn it on. To pair the 

MTI100, follow the instructions for your Android 

or iOS device. When pairing, the green “BT” below 

the Input Knob will flash. Look for

 MTI100 HD

 in 

the list of available devices on the device you are 

pairing.

To initiate a new Bluetooth connection, 

momentarily Push the Input Knob. This will also 

disconnect the old Bluetooth connection. 

To disable the Bluetooth function, Push and Hold 

the Input Knob for two seconds. To re-enable, 

put MT100 in and out of Standby Mode using 

the Volume Knob (as described on page 8 under 

“Power On”).

The MTI100 incorporates HD Bluetooth 

technology. The implementation of a high-definition 

codec can provide CD quality music over Bluetooth
