Output Terminal Connector

When cables with spade lugs are used for Loudspeak-

er Connection, the spade lugs need an 

opening of at least 3/10 inch (7.6mm)

XLR Connectors

Below is the Pin configuration for the XLR Balanced 

Input Connectors on the MC2152. Refer to the dia-

gram for connection:

 

PIN 1: Shield/Ground

 

PIN 2: + Output

 

PIN 3: - Output

Power Control Connector

The Power Control Output Jack sends Power On/Off 

Signals (+12 volt/0 volt) when 

another McIntosh Component is 

connected. The Power Control 

Output will in turn provide a 

+12 volt Output Signal with a 

current up to 25 mA. An ad-

ditional connection is for controlling the illumination 

of the MC2152 Small Signal Tubes when connected to 

a compatible McIntosh Preamplifier or A/V Control 

Center Power Control Output. A 3.5mm stereo mini 

phone plug is used for connection to the Power Con-

trol Output.

1. For additional connection information, refer to the 

owner’s manual(s) for any component(s) connected 

to the MC2152.

2. Apply AC Power to the MC2152 and other McIn-

tosh Component(s) only after all the system compo-

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 MC2152 includes an Auto Off Power Save 

Feature and the default setting is enabled.

 For 

additional information including how to disable it, 

refer to page 13.

4. When Power Amplifier Protection Circuitry of the 

MC2152 has activated the Small Vacuum LED Illu-

mination and the Front Panel Standby LED Power 

Indicator will both start flashing. The AC Power to 

the MC2152 needs to be switched OFF at that time.

5. When the Power Transformer has overheated due 

to improper ventilation and/or high ambient operat-

ing temperature, AC Power is removed from the 

MC2152. 

6. 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 

10 and 11.

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 MC2152.

7. 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.
