by the MHA150 Remote Control. For additional 

information refer to the Owner’s Manual supplied 

with the other McIntosh Component and look in 

the “Setup Section - Remote Control Codes” of 

the manual. In those rare instances where using 

the “Alternate Codes” is not possible, the Remote 

Control Sensor on the MHA150 can be switched 

Off and the Front Panel Controls can be used for 

operation instead of using the Remote Control. 

Refer to page 20.

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 

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 MHA150.

8. Sound Intensity is measured in units called Deci-

bels and “dB” is the abbreviation.

9. When discarding the unit, comply with 

local rules or regulations. Batteries 

should never be thrown away or inciner-

ated but disposed of in accordance with 

the local regulations concerning battery disposal.

10. For additional information on the MHA150 and 

other McIntosh Products please visit the McIntosh

XLR Connectors

Below is the Pin configuration for the XLR Balanced 

Input Connectors on the MHA150. Refer to the dia-

gram for connection:

 

PIN 1: Shield/Ground

 

PIN 2: + Input

 

PIN 3: - Input

Power Control Connectors

The Power Control Input Jack receives Power On/

Off Signals (+12 volt/0 volt) when connected to other 

McIntosh Components. The Power 

Control Output Jack sends Power 

On/Off Signals (+12 volt/0 volt) 

when connected to other McIntosh 

Components. An additional con-

nection is for controlling the illumination of the Power 

Output Meters on McIntosh Power Amplifiers. A 

3.5mm stereo mini phone plug is used for connection 

to the Power Control Jacks.

Output Terminal Connector

When cables with spade lugs are used 

for Loudspeaker Connection, the spade 

lugs need an opening of at least 3/10 inch 

(7.6mm). 

1. For additional connection information, refer to the 

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

to the MHA150.

2. Apply AC Power to the MHA150 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 MHA150 includes an Auto Off Power Save 

Feature and the default setting is enabled.

 For 

additional information including how to disable it, 

refer to page 19.

4. When Power Amplifier Protection Circuitry of 

the MHA150 has activated, the Front Panel Power 

Guard LEDs are illuminated continuously and the 

sound will be muted.

5. If the Power Transformer has overheated due to 

improper ventilation and/or high ambient operat-

ing temperature, AC Power is removed from the 

MHA150. Normal operation will resume when the 

operating temperature is in a safe range again.

6. The Remote Control supplied with the MHA150 is 

also capable of operating other McIntosh Compo-

nents. These other components may include Pre-

amplifiers, A/V Control Centers, Integrated Am-

plifiers, Source Components and Integrated Audio 

Systems. There is a chance the MHA150 and one 

of these other components may both respond to a 

command issued by the MHA150 Remote Con-

trol or the Remote Control supplied with the other 

component. This could affect operations such as 

Volume Up/Down and Power On/Off. Many of 

these other McIntosh components have the ability 

to utilize what is known as “Alternate Codes” to 

prevent them from responding to commands issued
