Banana plug connection: Insert the banana plug into the hole at the top of the terminal. Tighten the top portion of the terminal post and the set screw to secure the banana plug in place. Note: The Banana Plugs are for use in the United States and Canada only. 1. For Remote Power Control, connect a power control cable from the Audio Control Center or Preamplifier Power Control Out to the MC402 Power Control In. Connect cables from the Balanced Outputs of a McIntosh Preamplifier or Control Center to the MC402 Balanced Inputs. Note: An optional hookup is to use unbalanced cables. 3. Prepare the Loudspeaker Hookup Cables that attach to the MC402 Power 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 together 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. 4. Remove the five screws from the MC402 Chassis Rear Panel and Left Side. Insert the Loudspeaker Hookup Cable Ends through the openings of the supplied Terminal Connections Cover and connect to the output terminals that match the Loudspeakers' Impedance, being careful to observe the correct polarities. Output impedance connections of 2 ohms, 4 ohms and 8 ohms are provided. If the Loudspeakers' Impedance 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.
