McIntosh MC 2500, Owner'S Manual

Page: 2 / 20

VARIOUS REGULATORY AGENCIES REQUIRE THAT WE BRING THE FOLLOWING
INFORMATION TO YOUR ATTENTION. PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY.
The Mclntosh MC 2500 is an ex-
tremely high power amplifier.
Because of the high power available
it is necessary to emphasize some
prudent and safe operating condi-
tions.
1. Loudspeakers can be damaged or
destroyed by the high power
available from the MC 2500. Never
connect or disconnect inputs or
outputs while the amplifier is turn-
ed on.
2. Never operate the amplifier with
the power cord plugged into an
auxiliary AC power outlet on
source equipment. The amplifier
draws 15 amperes and can damage
the source equipment.
3. Do not operate the instrument plug-
ged into an ordinary extension
cord. A heavy duty extension cord
(14 ga. or heavier) is required.
4. Be cautious when lifting the instru-
ment. It weighs 129 pounds. Make
certain that what it is placed on
can support the weight.
5. The amplifier cooling fans can be
thermostatically controlled when
the fan switch on the rear panel is
placed in the thermally switched
positions. When so operated, the
fans will not run when the amplifier
is cool, as when the amplifier is
first turned on. As heat develops,
one or both fans will automatically
turn on as conditions require. This
operating behavior is normal.
WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK
HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN
OR MOISTURE.
