Installation
The MC1.25KW 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 bot-
tom of the MC1.25KW when it is custom installed as
outlined below. The four feet together with the mount-
ing screws should be retained for possible future use if
the MC1.25KW is removed from the custom installa-
tion and used free standing. The required panel cutout,
ventilation cutout and unit dimensions are shown.
Always provide adequate ventilation for your
MC1.25KW. Cool operation ensures the longest pos-
sible operating life for any electronic instrument. Do
not install the MC1.25KW directly above a heat gener-
ating 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 fol-
lowing minimum spacing dimensions for cool opera-
tion.
Allow at least 6 inches (15.24cm) above the top, 2
inches (5.08cm) below the bottom, 3 inches (7.62cm)
behind the rear panel and 2 inches (5.08cm) on each
side of the Power Amplifier, so that airflow is not
obstructed. Allow 2-1/2 inches (6.35 cm) in front of
the mounting
1
panel for clearance.
Be sure to cut out
a ventilation hole in the mounting shelf according
to the dimensions in the drawing.

When the MC1.25KW is installed together with other Mc-
Intosh Components, check clearances on all components
before proceeding.
