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 Binding Post
so the lugs or wire cannot slip out. Refer to figures
L and M.
If the Loudspeaker’s impedance is in-between
the available connections, use the nearest lower
impedance connection.
Note: The impedance of a Loudspeaker actually
varies as the Loudspeaker reproduces different
frequencies. As a result, the nominal impedance
rating of the Loudspeaker (usually measured at a
midrange frequency) might not always agree with the
impedance of the Loudspeaker at low frequencies
where the greatest amount of power is required.
Contact the Loudspeaker Manufacturer for additional
information about the actual impedance of the
Loudspeaker before connecting it to the McIntosh
MA12000.
WARNING: Loudspeaker terminals are hazardous live
and present a risk of electric shock. For additional
instruction on making Loudspeaker Connections
contact your McIntosh Dealer or McIntosh Technical
Support.
7. Connect the MA12000 power cord to an active AC
outlet.

How to use the Remote Control
The supplied MA12000 Remote Control (HR085)
is capable of directly controlling the functions
of contemporary McIntosh Source Components
connected to the MA12000 via the Data Ports.
Notes: 1. If at any time the MA12000 seems
unresponsive to the HR085 Remote Control
Commands, press the DEVICE Push-
button to select first.
2. For additional information on using the
HR085 Remote Control with the McIntosh
Model, please refer to the “How to Operate”
starting on page 27.
3. For additional information on assigning the
Data Ports, refer to “Data Ports” on page
23.
Trim
Press the TRIM Push-button until the desired Trim
function (Balance, Trim Level, etc.) appears on the
MA12000 Front Panel Display, then press the LEVEL
Up or Down Push-button to adjust the Trim setting.
Note: Press the TRIM Push-button to recall the last
Trim function selected.
Output Selection
Press the BLUE (Setup) Push-button followed by
the AM (Output 1) or FM (Output 2) Push-button, to
control the Rear Panel Audio OUTPUTS 1, 2 (ON or
OFF) and Power Control TRIG 1 / TRIG 2.
Note: For additional information on assigning the
Outputs (1 and 2) and Power Control Triggers (1
and 2) refer to pages 22 and 23.
