Connecting to a Power Amplifier
Connecting to a Power Amplifier
The MB50 has the ability to provide a Trigger Output
Signal to remotely switch the Power On/Off to compo-
nents connected to it via the Trigger (Power Control)
Connection.
The connection instructions below, together with
the MB50 Connection Diagram located on the sepa-
rate folded sheet “Mc1B”, is an example of a typi-
cal 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 5.
Trigger (Power Control) Connections:
1. Connect a Control Cable from the MB50 TRIG-
GER OUT Jack to the SACD/CD Transport Power
Control IN.
2. Connect a Control Cable from the SACD/CD
Power Control Out to the AM/FM Tuner Power
Control In.
3. Connect a Control Cable from the AM/FM Tuner
Power Control Out to the Media Bridge Server
Power Control In.
4. Connect a Control Cable from the Media Bridge
Server Power Control Out Jack to the Power Con-
trol In Jack on the Power Amplifier.
5. Connect any additional components in a similar
manner, as outlined in steps 2 thru 4.
Digital Audio Connections:
6. Connect an Optical Cable from the McIntosh
MB50 DIGITAL AUDIO OPTICAL INPUT to
the Digital Audio Optical Output of the SACD/CD
Player.
7. Connect a Coaxial Cable from the McIntosh
MB50 DIGITAL AUDIO COAXIAL INPUT to
the Digital Audio Coaxial Outputs of the Media
Bridge Server.
Analog Audio Connections:
8. Connect Cables from the McIntosh MB50 Stream-
ing Audio Player AUDIO OUTPUT, BALANCED
Connectors to the Power Amplifier Balanced Input
Connectors.
Note: Unbalanced connections may be used instead
of the Balanced Connections.
9. Connect Cables from the McIntosh MB50 UN-
BALanced AUDIO INPUT to the AM/FM Tuner
Unbalanced Output.
Wired and Wireless Network Connections:
10. Optionally, using an USB to Ethernet Adapter
connect the MB50 USB Connector to the CAT
5/6 Ethernet Cable. Connect the other end of the
CAT 5/6 Ethernet Cable to the Wired Router RJ45
Connector.
11. Connect another CAT 5/6 Ethernet Cable from the
Wired Router to a Wireless Router.
Note: The Wireless Router facilitates communica-
tion and streaming from a mobile device to the
MB50.
12. When the MB50 will be utilizing direct com-
munications with a Wireless Router (no wired
Network Connections), make sure to connect the
supplied WLAN Antennas to the WLAN ANT 1
and WLAN ANT 2 connectors on the MB50 Rear
Panel.
AC Power Cords Connections:
13. Locate the plug at the end of the cable coming out
of the supplied AC/DC Power Supply and connect
