How to Connect the C1000 with Passthru

Mode

The C1000 Preamplifier has a special operating mode

known as Passthru, when it is used as part of a McIntosh

Multichannel Sound System. The Front Left and Right

Channels coming from the McIntosh A/V Control Center

connect to a predetermined input at a preset volume level

and then onto the Left and Right Main Power Amplifiers/

Loudspeakers. Passthru requires several extra connections

(outlined below) and activation by using the SETUP Mode

of the C1000.

The connection instructions below, together with the Input

and Output Connection Diagrams located on the separate

folded sheet “Mc1B”, is an example of a typical audio sys-

tem. 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.
