Caution: Do not connect the AC Power Cord to the
MA5200 Rear Panel until after the Loudspeaker
Connections are made. Failure to observe this
could result in Electric Shock.
The connection instructions below, together with the
MA5200 Connection Diagram located on the separate
folded sheet “
Mc2B ”, is an example of a typical audio
system. Your system may vary from this, however the
actual components would be connected in a similar
manner. For additional information refer to “Connec-
tor and Cable Information” on page 4.
The McIntosh MA5200 Power Amplifier Circuitry
is designed for a Loudspeakers with an impedance
of 8 ohms. Connect a single Loudspeaker only to the
Right and Left Output Terminals.
When connecting Loudspeakers to the MA5200
it is very important to use cables of adequate size, so
there is little to no power loss in the cables. The size is
specified in Gauge Numbers or AWG (American Wire
