WARNING: The Output Module Connectors 1 and 2 “To Power Module (A) and (B)” Terminals are hazardous live and present a risk of electric shock. Use ONLY the Custom In-

terconnect Cables supplied with the MC2KW Output Module and MC2KW Power Module, refer to page 4 of the MC2KW Owner’s Manual for additional information.

MC2KW OUTPUT MODULE (A)

Connector 1 accepts the custom

McIntosh 16 Conductor Cable.

This cable attaches to the MC2KW

POWER MODULE (A) Connector 1.

It connects the positive power output

signal from the MC2KW POWER

MODULE to the Autoformer inside

the MC2KW OUTPUT MODULE

Connect the MC2KW Output Mod-

ule Power Cord to a separate live AC

outlet. Refer to information on the

back panel of the MC2KW Output

Module to determine the correct

voltage for your unit

Main Fuse holder, refer to infor-

mation on the back panel of the

MC2KW Output Module to deter-

mine the correct fuse size and rating

MC2KW OUTPUT MODULE (A)

Connector 2 accepts the custom

McIntosh 21 Conductor Cable. This

cable attaches to the MC2KW POW-

ER MODULE (A) Connector 2. It

connects the positive input signal,

control and power supply voltages to

the MC2KW POWER MODULE

MC2KW OUTPUT MODULE (B)

Connector 1 accepts the custom

McIntosh 16 Conductor Cable. This

cable attaches to the MC2KW POW-

ER MODULE (B) Connector 1. It

connects the negative power output

signal from the MC2KW POWER

MODULE to the Autoformer inside

the MC2KW OUTPUT MODULE

MC2KW OUTPUT MODULE (B)

Connector 2 accepts the custom

McIntosh 21 Conductor Cable. This

cable attaches to the MC2KW POW-

ER MODULE (B) Connector 2. It

connects the negative input signal,

control and power supply voltages to

the MC2KW POWER MODULE

OUTPUT Connections A, B, and C

for a 8 ohm Loudspeaker

OUTPUT Connections A, B, and C

for a 4 ohm Loudspeaker

OUTPUT Connections A, B, and C

for a 2 ohm Loudspeaker

Caution: The Loudspeaker Negative

Connections for each imped-

ance (2, 4 and 8 ohms) are above

chassis ground. Do not com-

bine any connections together,

ground them or connect with an-

other MC2KW Power Amplifier

or any other Power Amplifier.

1BMC2KW Power Module Rear Panel Connections

Connect the MC2KW Power Module

power cord to a dedicated live AC

Circuit with Outlet1. Refer to informa-

tion on the back panel of the MC2KW

Power Module to determine the cor-

rect voltage for your unit.

1 Each of the MC2KW Power

Modules needs to be connected

to a dedicated AC Circuit with

Outlet. Refer to “Important

Information” note 6 on page 4 in

MC2KW POWER MODULE (A or B)2

Connector 1 accepts the custom McIn-

tosh 16 Conductor Cable. This cable at-

taches to the MC2KW OUTPUT MOD-

ULE (A or B )2 Connector 1. It connects

the power output signal of the MC2KW

POWER MODULE to the Autoformer

inside the MC2KW OUTPUT MODULE.

MC2KW OUTPUT MODULE (A or B)2

Connector 2 accepts the custom McIntosh

21 Conductor Cable. This cable attaches

to the MC2KW OUTPUT MODULE (A

or B)2 Connector 2. It connects the input

signal, control and power supply voltages

from the MC2KW OUTPUT MODULE.

2 A MC2KW Power Amplifier consists

of one MC2KW Output Module and

two MC2KW Power Modules. The

first MC2KW Power Module is ref-

ered to as chassis “A” and the second

MC2KW Power Module is refered to

as chassis “B”. Both MC2KW Power

Modules “A” and “B” connect to the

same MC2KW Output Module.
