General Information
Ground
1. For additional connection information, refer to the
owner’s manual(s) for any component(s) connected
to the C2600 Tube Preamplifier.
2. The Main AC Power going to the C2600 and any
other McIntosh Component(s) should not be applied
until all the system components are connected
together. Failure to do so could result in malfunctioning of some or all of the system’s normal opera-
tions. When the C2600 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.
3. 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.
4. The C2600 internal Digital to Analog Converter
Circuitry is designed to decode 2-channel PCM
(Pulse Code Modulation) and DSD (Direct Stream
Digital) Digital Signals. The Coaxial and Optical
Digital Audio Inputs are for PCM Digital Signals.
The Digital DIN and USB Audio Inputs are for
PCM and DSD Digital Signals. Other Digital Audio
Signal Format Types will cause the Audio Outputs
of the C2600 to be muted and the Front Panel Information Display will indicate an error message.
5. Sound Intensity is measured in units called Deci-
bels and “dB” is the abbreviation.
6. The McIntosh C2600 is factory configured for im-
mediate use. It can also be customized to complement the components making up your system. Refer
to the C2600 “Setup Mode” starting on page 13 for
additional information.
General Information and Connector Information
7. The Remote Control Supplied with the C2600
Preamplifier is capable of operating other components. For additional information go to www.
mcintoshlabs.com.
8. The IR Input, with a 3.5mm mini phone jack, is
configured for non-McIntosh IR sensors such as
a Xantech Model DL85K Kit. The signal from a
connected External IR Sensor will have priority
over the signal from the Front Panel IR Sensor.
9. When discarding the unit, comply with local rules
or regulations. Batteries should never be thrown
away or incinerated but disposed of in accordance
with the local regulations concerning battery
disposal.

Introduction
The McIntosh C2600 Tube Preamplifier is one of the
finest Preamplifiers ever created with connections for
both analog and digital sources. The C2600 Outputs
have the ability to drive multiple Power Amplifiers.
The C2600 reproduction is sonically transparent and
absolutely accurate. The McIntosh Sound is “The
Sound of the Music Itself.”
Performance Features
• Electromagnetic Input Switching with Level Trim
Adjustment
Digital Logic Circuits drive Electromagnetic Switches
on all Inputs and operating functions for reliable,
noiseless, distortion free switching. The Analog Inputs
can be matched in level, preventing abrupt changes in
volume levels.
• Moving Coil and Moving Magnet Phono Inputs
The C2600 has two precision Phono Preamplifier
Circuits, one for Moving Coil Phono Cartridges and
the other for Moving Magnet Cartridges. Both phono
inputs have selectable loading. The circuits use the
latest designs providing the lowest possible noise and
distortion. The close tolerance resistors and capacitors
used in the RIAA Correction Equalization Circuitry
provides an extremely flat frequency response.
• Digital Audio Inputs
The Digital Inputs decode PCM and DSD Signals
from external sources. Coaxial and Optical Inputs
process Digital Signals up to 192kHz with 24-Bit
resolution. The Digital MCT Input Circuitry directly
decodes SACD/CD signals from an external Transport component. The USB Input for streaming audio
processes Digital Signals up to 384kHz with 32Bit
resolution, decodes up to DSD256 Digital Signals and
DXD 24Bit with a sampling rate up to 384kHz.
• Balanced Inputs
The Balanced Inputs allow the connection of a source
component using long cable lengths without a loss in
sound qu a l ity.
• Precision Tracking Volume Control
Volume levels are controlled by a Precision Balanced
Digitally Controlled Attenuator System with an Optical Encoder Rotary Control. This assures a 0.1dB
tracking accuracy between channels. There are 214
individual 0.5dB volume level steps with no noise as
the volume level is changed.
• Variable Rate Volume and Balance Controls
The C2600 Preamplifier’s Volume and Balance Control Circuitry provides an ideal rate of change with
control rotation.
• Electronic Tone Controls with Bypass
Electronic Bass and Treble Circuitry allow volume
level adjustments for low and high frequencies in
precise one Decibel Steps. The C2600 remembers the
Tone Control Circuitry Bypass Option for each input.

• Alphanumeric Fluorescent Display
The Front Panel Information Display indicates the
Source Selection, Volume/Balance Levels and Setup
Mode Selections. The display intensity is adjustable.
Introduction and Performance Features
• PASSTHRU Mode
The Automatic PASSTHRU Mode allows the C2600
to become part of a Home Theater Multichannel
Sound System.
• Remote Control with External Sensor Input
The Remote Control provides control of the C2600
operating functions and McIntosh Source Components
connected to it. Enjoy your McIntosh System from
another room in your home by connecting an external
sensor.
• Power Control Output and Trigger Assignment
A Power Control connection for convenient Turn-On
of McIntosh Power Amplifiers, Source Components
and Accessories is included. The Power Control Trigger Ouputs may be assigned to activate when a given
Input/Output is selected.
• Special Power Supply
Fully regulated Power Supplies and a special R-Core
Power Transformer ensure stable noise free operation
even though the power line varies.
• LED Front Panel Illumination
The even Illumination of the Front Panel is accom-
plished by multiple extra long life Light Emitting
Diodes (LEDs) arranged with a special orientation.
• Glass Front Panel and Super Mirror Chassis
Finish
The famous McIntosh Illuminated Glass Front Panel
and the Stainless Steel Chassis with Super Mirror
Finish ensures the pristine beauty of the C2600 will be
retained for many years.

Installation
The C2600 can be placed upright on a table or shelf,
standing on its four feet. It also can be custom installed in a piece of furniture or cabinet of your
choice. The four feet may be removed from the bottom
of the C2600 when it is custom installed as outlined
below. The four feet together with the mounting
screws should be retained for possible future use if the
C2600 is removed from the custom installation and
used free standing. The required panel cutout, ventilation cutout and unit dimensions are shown.
Always provide adequate ventilation for your
C2600. Cool operation ensures the longest possible
operating life for any electronic instrument. Do not
install the C2600 directly above a heat generating
component such as a high powered amplifier. If all
the components are installed in a single cabinet, a
quiet running ventilation fan can be a definite asset in
maintaining all the system components at the coolest
possible operating temperature.
A custom cabinet installation should provide the
following minimum spacing dimensions for cool
operation.
Allow at least 6 inches (15.2cm) above the top, 2
inches (5.1cm) below the bottom and 1 inch (2.5cm)
on each side of the Preamplifier, so that airf low is not
obstructed. Allow 20 inches (50.8cm) depth behind the
front panel. Allow 1-7/16 inch (3.7cm) in front of the
mounting panel for knob clearance. Be sure to cut out
a ventilation hole in the mounting shelf according to
the dimensions in the drawing.

Rear Panel Connections
The identification of Rear Panel Connections for the
C2600 Tube Preamplifier is located on a separate
folded sheet contained in the Owner’s Manual Packet.
Refer to separate sheet “Mc2B” for the Rear Panel
Connections.
C2600 Audio Preamplifer Rear Panel
Connecting Components
The C2600 has the ability to automatically switch
power On/Off to Source Components via the Power
Control connections. The Data Port Connections allow
for the remote operation of basic functions using the
C2600 Remote Control HR085. With an external sensor connected to the C2600, remote control operation
of the system is possible from another room and/or
when the C2600 is located in a cabinet with the doors
closed.
The connection instructions below, together with
the C2600 Input/Output/Control Connection Diagrams
located on the separate folded sheets “Mc1A/1B and
Mc2A”, are an example of a typical 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 4.
Notes: 1. The C2600 allows renaming of the Audio Inputs
