How to connect the C1000C and C1000T
This page contains information for connecting the McIntosh
C1000C to the C1000T and to other audio components.
The C1000 has the ability to automatically switch power
On/Off to McIntosh Source Components via the Power
Control Connections. The Data Port Connections allow for
the remote operation of basic functions using the C1000 Re-
mote Control. With an external sensor connected to the
C1000, remote control operation of the system is possible
from another room and/or when the C1000 is located in a
cabinet with the doors closed.
The connection instructions below, together with the Input
and Output Connection Diagrams located on the separate
folded sheet “Mc4A/4B”, is an example of a typical audio
system. Your system may vary from this, however the actual
components would be connected in a similar manner.
For additional information refer to “Connector and Cable
Information” on page 4.
Notes: 1. Refer to page 12 for connecting the C1000C with
the C1000P or page 16 for connecting the
C1000C with both the C1000P and C1000T.
2. Balanced and Unbalanced Inputs and Outputs can
be mixed. For example, you may connect signal
sources to Unbalanced Inputs and send signals
out from the Balanced Outputs. You can also use
Balanced and Unbalanced outputs simultaneously,
connected to different power amplifiers.
3. With the addition of a McIntosh Power Controller
and Remote Control Translator connected to the
C1000, any McIntosh Classic Components and/or
non McIntosh Components connected to the
C1000 can be operated more conveniently.
Contact your McIntosh Dealer for additional
information.
Power Control Connections:
1. Connect one of the supplied custom 21Conductor
Cables from the C1000C RIGHT CONTROLLER
OUTPUT C Socket to the C1000T TO TUBE
PREAMPLIFIER CONTROL INPUT C Socket.
Note: After the cable connector is firmly seated into the
chassis socket, rotate the locking collar clockwise
until it is finger tight.
2. In a similar manner, connect the other 21 Conductor
Cable from the C1000C Socket D to Socket D on the
C1000T.
3. Connect a Cable from the C1000C POWER CON-
TROL MAIN Jack to the Power Control In Jack on the
McIntosh Right Channel Power Amplifier and another
Control Cable from the McIntosh Right Channel Power
Amplifier Power Control Out Jack to the McIntosh
Right Channel Power Amplifier Power Control In Jack.
Note: There is approximately a one-half second delay
added to the Power Control Out Jack signal going
to the next McIntosh Power Amplifier, to reduce
the strain on the AC Power Line.
4. Connect a Cable from the other C1000C POWER
CONTROL MAIN Jack to the Power Control In of the
McIntosh D/A Converter.
5. Connect a Cable from the McIntosh D/A Converter
Power Control Out Jack to the Power Control In of a
McIntosh AM/FM Tuner.
6. Connect a Cable from the McIntosh AM/FM Tuner
Control Out Jack to the Power Control In of a McIntosh
Audio/Video Player.
7. Connect any remaining McIntosh Source Components
in a similar manner.
Data Control Connections:
8. Connect a Cable from the C1000C D/A (7) DATA
PORT to the Data In Jack of the McIntosh MDA1000
D/A Converter.
Note: If a McIntosh MCD1000 is part of the system,
connect the SUM DATA PORT Jack to the Data
Port In Jack on the MCD1000, using a Data
Cable. Refer to figure A.
9. Connect a Cable from the C1000C TUNER (3) DATA
PORT to the Data In Jack of the McIntosh Tuner.
10. Connect a Cable from the C1000C DVD (1) DATA
PORT to the Data In Jack of the McIntosh Audio/Video
Player.
11. Connect any remaining McIntosh Source Components in
a similar manner.
12. Optionally connect a RG-59 or RG-6 Cable from the
C1000C Rear Panel EXT Sensor connector to the
McIntosh Sensor.
Audio Connections:
13. Connect XLR Cables from the McIntosh D/A Converter
to the C1000 Tube Preamplifier Balanced XLR D/A (7)
LEFT and RIGHT INPUTS.
14. Connect Cables from the McIntosh Tuner Fixed Audio
Outputs to the C1000 Tube Preamplifier Unbalanced
TUNER (3) LEFT and RIGHT INPUTS.
15. Connect Cables from the McIntosh Audio/Video Player
2CH Unbalanced Audio Outputs to the C1000 Tube
Preamplifier Unbalanced DVD (1) LEFT and RIGHT
INPUTS.
Note: The 2CH Balanced Audio Outputs of the McIntosh
Audio/Video Player may be connected to the
C1000 Tube Preamplifier CD (6) INPUTS instead
of the Unbalanced Connections.
