The MA8000’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 MA8000 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 MA8000 and/or the
separate Power Amplifier.
MA8000 Connections:
1. Remove the “McIntosh Jumpers” from between
the OUTPUT 1 Jacks and the PWR AMP In Jacks
located on the Rear Panel of the MA8000.
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 OUTPUT 1 Jacks to the
PWR AMP In Jacks, for both Left and Right
Channels.
3. Connect the remaining unconnected part of the
“Y” Adapters to the separate Power Amplifier.
4. Referring 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 MA8000 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.
