Frequently Asked Questions - DS200 MCINTOSH
What is the recommended amplifier power for the DS200?

Can I bi-wire or bi-amp the DS200?
Yes, the binding posts are gold-plated and allow bi-wiring or bi-amping by removing the metal jumpers. Ensure amplifier channels are identical for bi-amping.
How should I position the speakers for best sound?
Place the speakers at ear height when seated, at least 12 inches from the rear wall. Angle them slightly toward the listening position for optimal imaging.
Is there a break-in period for the DS200?

What is the warranty coverage?
McIntosh provides a 5-year limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Register your product online to activate.
Can the DS200 be used as a center channel?
While designed as a stereo pair, you can use a single DS200 as a center channel if matched with similar timbre speakers from the same series.
What type of speaker wire should I use?
Use 16-12 AWG stranded copper wire. Keep lengths equal for both speakers. Banana plugs or spade connectors are recommended for secure connection.
How do I avoid damaging the speakers?
Avoid clipping by keeping amplifier volume within safe limits. Do not place near heat sources or in direct sunlight. Ensure vents (if any) are unobstructed.
Where can I find the serial number?
