14. OUTPUTS 3 and 4, and BRIDGED OUTPUT

For separate channel operation, connect the Hot lead of a loudspeaker to the + (Plus)

RED upper terminal, and the Common lead to the - (Minus) BLACK lower terminal of each

channel.

For BRIDGED operation, connect the Hot lead of a loudspeaker to the + (Plus) RED upper

Channel 3, BRIDGED terminal, and the Common lead to the - Minus) RED upper Channel

4, BRIDGED terminal.

15. POWER CONTROL, IN/OUT

The MC7106 AC power can be turned on and off by a control signal fed to the POWER

CONTROL IN connector. This signal is available from a Mclntosh C39 or MX130 Control Center

through the 25 conductor computer type cable, or directly from a Control Center POWER CON-

TROL Output. The MC7106 POWER CONTROL OUT jack will feed the same AC power con-

trol signal out to another accessory component with a compatible Power Control input- The

POWER CONTROL connectors are standard 1/8 inch mini phone plugs. Only the tip and sleeve

are used for connections.

The MC7106 POWER switch must be in the OFF/REMOTE setting for the power control

signals to properly operate the MC7106 AC power.

16. OUTPUTS 5 and 6, and BRIDGED OUTPUT

For separate channel operation, connect the Hot lead of a loudspeaker to the + (Plus)

RED upper terminal, and the Common lead to the - (Minus) BLACK lower terminal of each

channel.

For BRIDGED operation, connect the Hot lead of a loudspeaker to the + (Plus) RED upper

Channel 5, BRIDGED terminal, and the Common lead to the - (Minus) RED upper Channel

6, BRIDGED terminal.

17. AC POWER CORD

Connect the MC7106 to a live 50/60Hz, 120 volt AC wall outlet. Do not connect the unit

to an AC outlet on the rear panel of a Preamplifier or Control Center.

18. 15A 250V (Fuse)

CAUTION: For continued protection against fire hazard, replace only with the same type

15A-250V SLO BLO fuse.

FEATURES

AND
CONNECTIONS

The following hookup diagrams show how to connect the six channels of the MC7106 in

four different output configurations. The MC7106 has excellent channel separation, so the

six channels can be used as six separate amplifiers, in mono or stereo, each with its dedicated

input signal and speaker output. Any of the following operating configurations can be used

for multi zone amplifier requirements.
