Instruction manual

If
desired,
the
signal source
may
be
wired
to
an
octal
plug
for insertion
in
the
octal
"Pre-Amp
input"
re-
ceptacle.
In
this case connect
the
input
lead
to
pin
#5
and
the
ground
lead
to
pin
#
1.
When
using this con-
nection
the
source
must
not
have
a
DC
output
component.
Output
Connections
The
MC-30
has
output
impedances of 4, 8
and
16
ohms available
at
either
the
screw
terminal
connector
or
the
output
socket.
In
addition, a 600
ohm
output
(balanced
to
ground)
is
available
at
the
output
socket.
See schematic
diagram
for socket connections.
It
is
important
that
the
loudspeaker
or
other
load
be
properly
matched
to
the
amplifier
if
best
perform-
ance is to
be
obtained. Because
many
loudspeakers do
not
have
voice coil impedances exactly
matching
4, 8
and
16
ohms,
the
following
table
lists suggested connections for best
impedance
matching.

WARNING:
Output
plugs
wired
for
Mcintosh
20W-2
and
50W-2 amplifiers
must
not
be
used
with
the
MC-30
without
rewiring
the
plug.
Power Connections
The
MC-30
operates
from
any
110
to
130 volt 50-60 cycles
power
line.
(When
continuous use is con-
templated
on
120
to
130 line volts
the
transformer
primary
should
be
re-connected using
the
125 volt
tap.)
When
the
MC-30
is
used
with
the
Mcintosh
Pre-Amplifier
equipment,
tuners,
or
other
associated equip-
ment
the
MC-30
power
cord
is
plugged
into
the
receptacle
at
the
rear
of these units.
When
thus
connected
the
power
switch of these units controls
the
MC-30.
