impedance of the Loudspeaker, being careful to
observe the correct polarities. 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 terminals so the lugs or wire cannot slip out.
Refer to figures 7 and 8.
Note: The illustration in figure 6 is connections for
8Ω (ohms) Loudspeakers.
If the Loudspeaker’s impedance is in-between
the available connections, use the nearest lower
impedance connection. Refer to “General Informa-
tion” Note 4 on page 3 for additional information.
WARNING: Loudspeaker terminals are hazard-
ous live and present a risk of electric
shock. For additional instruction on
making Loudspeaker Connections con-
tact your McIntosh Dealer or McIn-
tosh Technical Support.

11. Locate the Terminal Connections Cover from the
inside of the MC1.25KW shipping carton. Insert
the just prepared Loudspeaker hookup cables thru
the cover opening on the right side. Refer to figure
6.
12. Connect the Loudspeaker hookup cables to the
MC1.25KW Negative Output Terminal and Posi-
tive Output Terminal indentified as 2Ω (ohms),
4Ω (ohms) or 8Ω (ohms) connection to match the
6. Attach the previously prepared bare
wire cable ends into the banana plugs
and secure the connections. Refer to
figure F.
7. Rotate the top of the Output Terminal
Post clockwise until it is finger tight.
Refer to figure G. Then using the Mc
-
Intosh Wrench, rotate the top of the
Output Terminal one quarter of a turn
(90° ).
Do not over tighten.
Refer to
figure E.
8. Referring to figure H,
connect the Loudspeaker
hookup cables with ba-
nana plugs into the hole
at the top of the MC1.25KW Negative and Positive
Output Terminals. The terminals are indentified
as 2Ω (ohms), 4Ω (ohms) or 8Ω (ohms) connection
to match the impedance of the Loudspeaker, being
careful to observe the correct polarities.
Note: The illustration in figure 5 is connections for
