The MA5200’s Power Amplifier, together with an
additional separate Power Amplifier, may be used to
Bi-Amplify a Loudspeaker System. In the illustration
on this page the Power Amplifier of the MA5200 is
connected to the Midrange/High Frequency Section
of the Loudspeaker. The additional separate Power
Amplifier is connected to the Low Frequency Section
of the Loudspeaker System.
Warning: The Loudspeaker System used for
Bi-Amplification must have the
jumpers removed from between the
MID/HIGH and LOW Frequency
Sections of the Loudspeaker System.
Failure to remove them could result
in damage to the MA5200 and/or the
separate Power Amplifier.
MA5200 Connections:
1. Remove the “McIntosh Jumpers” from between
the PRE AMP OUTPUT Jacks and the PWR
AMP INPUT Jacks located on the Rear Panel of
the MA5200.
Note: Place the “McIntosh Jumper” in a safe place
for possible future use.
2. Using a pair of shielded RCA Type Audio “Y”
Adapters connect the PRE AMP OUTPUT Jacks
to the PWR AMP INPUT Jacks, for both Left and
Right Channels.
3. Connect the remaining unconnected part of the
“Y” Adapters to the separate Power Amplifier.
4. Refering to the Loudspeaker Connection Instruc-
tions on page 12, and in the Owner’s Manual sup-
plied with the Power Amplifier and Loudspeaker,
connect the MA5200 Output Terminals to the
Loudspeaker MID/HIGH Input Terminals.
Note: The Loudspeaker Connection illustrations
on this page are for the Left Channel. Con-
nect the Right Channel Loudspeaker in the
same manner.
