Important Information

WARNING: The McIntosh C500 is a two chassis design,

with separate Preamplifier and Controller

chassis. There are custom interconnecting

cables and custom chassis sockets used to

connect the two chassis together.

Use ONLY the custom interconnect cables

supplied with the C500 to connect the chassis

together.

DO NOT connect the C500 Left and Right 25-

Pin Chassis Sockets to any other component.

Failure to observe the above warnings will

result in damage to the components connected.

1. The C500 System consists of two separate chassis, one

Controller and one Preamplifier. The C500 Controller

Chassis will be referred to as the C500C throughout this

Owner’s Manual. In a similar manner, the C500

Preamplifier (Solid State) Chassis will be referred to as the

C500P and the C500 Tube Preamplifier Chassis will be

referred to as the C500T throughout this Owner’s Manual.

2. For additional information on Audio Connections, refer to

the Owner’s Manual(s) for the component(s).

3. Connecting Cables and Connectors are available from the

McIntosh Parts Department:

Data, Power Control and Trigger Cable Part No.

170-202

Six foot, shielded 2 conductor, with 1/8 inch stereo mini

phone plug on each end.

Controller to Preamplifier Cable Part No. 171-872

Three foot, shielded 23 conductor, male-to-female

custom cable, two required between Controller and

Preamplifier. Do not use any other cable when

connecting the C500 Controller to the C500

Preamplifier or C500 Tube Preamplifier. This cable is

for use only with the C500 Controller and Preamplifier.

4. The Main AC Power Cable going to the C500C and any

other McIntosh Component(s) should not be connected to

an AC Power Outlet until all the system components are

connected together. When the C500C and other McIntosh

Components are in their Standby Power Off Mode, the

Microprocessor’s Circuitry inside each component is active

and communication is occurring between them. Failure to

do so could result in malfunctioning of some or all of the

system’s normal operations.

5. Up to two sensors can be wired in parallel for Remote

Control of the C500 from other rooms.

6. Balanced and Unbalanced Inputs and Outputs can be

mixed. For example, you may connect signal sources to

Unbalanced Inputs and send signals from the Balanced

Outputs. You can also use Balanced and Unbalanced

outputs simultaneously, connected to different power

amplifiers.

7. Sound Intensity is measured in units called Decibels and

“dB” is the abbreviation.

The C500 Preamplifier with a Controller is one of the finest

audio preamplifiers McIntosh has ever created. No design

compromises were allowed in the quest for a preamplifier,

both Solid State and Tube with absolute accuracy, total

sonic purity and virtual elimination of distortion and audible

noise. For those who have been searching for the “Best in

Preamplifiers”, your wait is over.

Introduction

XLR Connectors

Below is the Pin configuration for the XLR Balanced Input

and Output Connectors on the C500 Preamplifier. Refer to

the diagram for connection:

PIN 1: Shield/Ground

PIN 2: + Signal

PIN 3: - Signal

Main Power Control Connectors

The C500’s Power Control Outputs provide a +5 volt sig-

nal. An additional connection is for

controlling the illumination of a Power

Amplifier Output Meter. Use a 1/8

inch stereo mini phone plug to connect

to the Power Control Input on other

McIntosh Components.

Trigger Control Connectors

The C500’s Trigger Control Outputs provide either a +5

volt (default) or +12 volt signal (refer to

page 18). Use a 1/8 inch stereo mini

phone plug to connect to the Power

Control Input on McIntosh and/or non-

McIntosh components.

Data and IR Port Connectors

The C500’s Data Port Output provides Remote Control Sig-

nals. Use a 1/8 inch stereo mini

phone plug to connect to the Data

Port Inputs on McIntosh Source

Units.

8. If the C500P and/or C500T Preamplifiers 23-conductor

custom interconnect cable(s) becomes temporarily

disconnected from the C500C when it is On or in Stand-by

Mode, a cable error message will appear on the C500C.

Remove the AC Power Cord from the C500C, connect the

disconnected 23-conductor custom interconnect cable(s)

and then reconnect the AC Power Cord. The C500 System

will automatically reset itself to the previous configuration.
