12. Connect the Loudspeaker hookup cables to the
MC601 Negative Output Terminal and Positive
Output Terminal indentified as 2Ω (ohms), 4Ω
(ohms) or 8Ω (ohms) connection to match the
impedance of the Loudspeaker, being careful to
observe the correct polarities. Insert the spade
lug connector or prepared section of the cable end
into the terminal side access hole, and tighten the
terminal cap until the cable is firmly clamped into
the terminals so the lugs or wire cannot slip out.
Refer to figures 7 and 8.
Banana Plugs are for use in the United States and

and secure the connections. Refer to
figure F.
7. Rotate the top of the Output Terminal
Post clockwise until it is nger tight.

connect the Loudspeaker
hookup cables with ba-
nana plugs into the hole
at the top of the MC601
Negative and Positive Output Terminals. The termi-
