2. The MI347 mutes the speaker output for 

approximately two seconds when first turned on.

3. Included with the MI347 and located in the 

Owner’s Manual Packet are two Side Rack 

Mounted Brackets and screw fasteners. Refer to 

page 5 for installing the Side Rack Mount Brackets.

4. For the best performance and safety it is important 

to attach no more thana single Loudspeaker with 

an 8 Ohm or 4 Ohm impedance to the Channel 

1 - Channel 7 output terminals. Refer to “How to 

Connect” pages 8 thru 13.

Note: The impedance of a Loudspeaker actually 

varies as the Loudspeaker reproduces different 

frequencies. As a result, the nominal impedance 

rating of the Loudspeaker (usually measured 

at a midrange frequency) might not always 

agree with the impedance of the Loudspeaker 

at low frequencies where the greatest amount 

of power is required. Contact the Loudspeaker 

Manufacturer for additional information about 

the actual impedance of the Loudspeaker before 

connecting it to this Power Amplifier.

In the event that any one or more of the channels 

overheat, due to improper ventilation or 

Loudspeaker Impedance, the protection circuits 

will activate. The Front Panel Channel LED will 

change color and the audio will be muted. Refer 

to page 9. When the MI347 has returned to a 

safe operating temperature, Channel(s) normal 

operation will resume.

With the MI347 Amplifier, you have invested in a 

precision instrument that will provide you with many 

years of enjoyment. Please take a few moments to 

familiarize yourself with the features and instructions 

to get the maximum performance from your 

equipment.
