How to Connect Loudspeakers

Caution: The supplied AC Power Cord should not be

connected to the Rear Panel of the MA6900
Amplifier until after the Loudspeaker Connections
have been made. Failure to observe this could
result in Electric Shock.

1. Prepare the Loudspeaker Hookup Cables that attach to

the Amplifier by choosing one of the methods below:

Bare wire cable ends:
Carefully remove sufficient insulation from the cable
ends, refer to figures 1, 2 & 3. If the cable is stranded,
carefully twist
the strands to-
gether as tightly
as possible.

Note: If desired,

the twisted
ends can be tinned with solder to keep the strands
together, or attach spade lug and/or banana
connector.

Spade lug or prepared wire connection:
Insert the spade lug connector or prepared section of
the cable end into the terminal side access hole, and
tighten the terminal cap until the cable is firmly
clamped into the terminal so the wires cannot slip out.
Refer to figures 4, 5 & 6.

Banana plug connection:
Insert the banana plug into the hole at the top of the
terminal.

Note: Banana Plugs are for use in the United States and

Canada only.

2. Connect the loudspeaker hookup cables to the output

terminals that match the impedance of your loudspeak-
ers, being careful to observe the correct polarities. Out-
put impedance connections of 2 ohms, 4 ohms and 8
ohms are provided. If the impedance of your loud-
speakers is in-between the available connections, use
the nearest lower impedance connection.

WARNING: Loudspeaker terminals are hazardous live

and present a risk of electric shock. For
additional instruction on making
Loudspeaker Connections contact your
McIntosh Dealer or McIntosh Technical
Support.
