XLR Connectors

Below is the Pin configuration for the XLR Balanced 

Input Connectors on the MC205. Refer to the diagram 

for connection:

 

PIN 1: Shield/Ground

 

PIN 2: + Output

 

PIN 3: - Output

Power Control Connector

The MC205’s Power Control Inputs receive On/Off 

signals of +5 volts. An additional connection is for 

controlling the illumination of the MC205 Power Out-

put Meters. The 1/8 inch stereo 

mini phone plug connects to a 

McIntosh A/V Control Center 

Power Control Output.

Note: The Power Control Connect-

ing Cable is available from 

the McIntosh Parts Department:

Data and Power Control Cable Part No. 170-202

Six foot, shielded 2 conductor, with 1/8 inch stereo 

mini phone plugs on each end.

Now you can take advantage of traditional McIntosh 

standards of excellence in the MC205 Power Ampli-

fier. The five channel Power Amplifier produces a 

power output of 200 watts per channel and will drive 

quality Loudspeakers to a high level of performance. 

The MC205 reproduction is sonically transparent and 

absolutely accurate. The McIntosh Sound is “The 

Sound of the Music Itself.”

• Power Output

The MC205 consists of five Power Amplifier Chan-

nels, each capable of 200 watts into 4 ohm or 8 ohm 

Loudspeakers with less than 0.005% distortion.

• Power Guard

The patented McIntosh Power Guard Circuit prevents 

the amplifier from being over driven into clipping, 

with its harsh distorted sound that can damage your 

valuable Loudspeakers.

• Dynamic Power Manager

TM

The MC205’s Dynamic Power Manager (DPM) cir

-

cuitry allows for the connection of either 4 ohm or 8 

ohm Loudspeakers, while at the same time delivering 

identical power output. A peak output current of 25 

amperes per channel ensures that it will successfully 

drive high quality Loudspeakers such as McIntosh, for 

a truly exciting sound experience.

• Balanced and Unbalanced Inputs

Balanced connections guard against induced noise and 

allow long cable runs without compromising sound 

quality.

• Sentry Monitor and Thermal Protection

McIntosh Sentry Monitor power output stage protec-

tion circuits ensure the MC205 will have a long and 

trouble free operating life. Built-in thermal protection 

circuits guard against overheating.

• Illuminated Power Meters

The Illuminated Power Output Watt Meters on the 

MC205 are peak responding, and indicate the power 

output of the amplifier.

• Power Control

The McIntosh Power Control Circuit allows for remote 

turn-on of the MC205 Power Amplifier from a McIn-

tosh A/V Control Center or Preamplifier for a single 

or dual Zone System.

• Special Power Supply

A regulated Power Supply and a very large Toroidal 

Wound Power Transformer, ensures stable noise free 

operation even though the power line varies.

• Fiber Optic Solid State Front Panel Illumination

The even Illumination of the Front Panel is accom-

plished by the combination of custom designed Fiber 

Optic Light Diffusers and extra long life Light Emit-

ting Diodes (LEDs). The glass Front Panel ensures 

the pristine beauty of the MC205 will be retained for 

many years.
