An additional connection is for 
controlling the illumination of the 
Power Output Meters on McIntosh 
Power Amplifiers. A 3.5mm stereo 
mini phone plug is used for connec-
tion to the Power Control and the Passthru jacks.

Data Port Connectors

The Data Out Ports send Remote Control Signals to 
Source Components. A 3.5mm stereo 
mini phone plug is used for connec-
tion.

IR IN Port Connectors

The IR IN Port also uses a 3.5mm stereo mini phone 
plug and allows the connection of 
other brand IR Receivers to the 
MA5200.

RS232-C Data Port Cable

The RS232 Data Cable is a 3.5mm stereo mini phone 
plug to a subminiature DB 9 connector:

McIntosh Plug-In Jumper Connector

The MA5200 utilizes a phono style Plug-In Jumper to 
connect the Preamplifier Output to the 
Power Amplifier Input, one Jumper for 
each channel.

Note: The Jumper Connector is available from the McIn-

tosh Parts Department:

McIntosh Jumper Connector Part No. 117781

XLR Connectors

Below is the Pin configuration for the XLR Balanced 
Input Connectors on the MA5200. Refer to the dia-
gram for connection:
 

PIN 1: Shield/Ground

 

PIN 2: + Output

 

PIN 3: - Output

Power Control Connectors

The Power Control Output Jack sends and Passthru 
Input Jack receives Power On/Off Signals (+12 volt/0

1. For additional connection information, refer to the 

RZQHU¶VPDQXDOVIRUDQ\FRPSRQHQWVFRQQHFWHG

to the MA5200.

2. Apply AC Power to the MA5200 and other McIn-

WRVK&RPSRQHQWVRQO\DIWHUDOOWKHV\VWHPFRPSR

-

nents are connected together. Failure to do so may 
cause a malfunction of system operations as the 
Microprocessor’s Circuitry inside the components 
is active when AC Power is applied.

3. 

The MA5200 includes an Auto Off Power Save 

Feature and the default setting is enabled.

 For 

additional information including how to disable it, 
refer to page 21.

7KH0$3KRQR000RYLQJ0DJQHW,QSXW

is compatible with high output Moving Coil Phono 
Cartridges such as the Sumiko Blue Point No.2.

5. When Power Amplifier Protection Circuitry of 

the MA5200 has activated, the Front Panel Power 
Guard LEDs are illuminated continuously and the 
sound will be muted.

6. When the Power Transformer has overheated due 

to improper ventilation and/or high ambient operat-
ing temperature, AC Power is removed from the 
MA5200. Normal operation will resume when the 
operating temperature is in a safe range again.

7. For the best performance and safety, it is important 

to always match the impedance of the Loudspeaker 
to the Power Amplifier connections. Refer to pages 
12 and 13.

Note: The impedance of a Loudspeaker actually var-

ies as the Loudspeaker reproduces different 
frequencies. As a result, the nominal impedance 
rating of the Loudspeaker (usually measured at 
a midrange frequency) might not always agree 
with the impedance of the Loudspeaker at low 
frequencies where the greatest amount of power 
is required. Contact the Loudspeaker Manufac-

turer for additional information about the actual 
impedance of the Loudspeaker before connecting 
it to the McIntosh MA5200.

8. The MA5200 Remote Control is capable of operat-

ing other components. For additional information 
go to www.mcintoshlabs.com.

9. The IR Input, with a 1/8 inch mini phone jack, is 

configured for non-McIntosh IR sensors such as 
a Xantech Model HL85BK Kit. Use a Connection 
Block such as a Xantech Model ZC21 when two 
or more IR sensors need to be connected to the 
MA5200. The signal from a connected External 
IR Sensor will have priority over the signal from 
the Front Panel IR Sensor.

10. When discarding the unit, comply with local rules 

or regulations. Batteries should never be thrown 
away or incinerated but disposed of in 
accordance with the local regulations 
concerning battery disposal.

11. For additional information on the 

MA5200 and other McIntosh Products
