How to Connect
It is recommended that a dedicated power amplifier or am-
plifier channel be used to drive the subwoofer(s). McIntosh
offers many different models of power amplifiers and most
include a built-in electronic crossover. Shown below are
two examples for connecting subwoofer(s) to a McIntosh
Power Amplifier. A pair of MS100 subwoofers are con-
nected to the two channels of a McIntosh amplifier in ste-
reo mode. A single MS120 subwoofer is connected to a
McIntosh amplifier in bridged mode. Connect the Red and
Black subwoofer terminals to the matching (+) and () ter-
minals of the power amplifier. Refer to your amplifier
owners manual for exact connecting details.
