2. The MI254 mutes the speaker output for approxi-

mately two seconds when first turned on.

3. Included with the MI254 and located in the Own-

er’s Manual Packet are two Side Rack Mounted 

Brackets and screw fasteners. Below are graphic 

images of the MI254 with and without the Side 

Rack Mounted Brackets attached. Refer to page 5 

for installing the Side Rack Mount Brackets.

4. For the best performance and safety it is impor-

tant to always attach a single Loudspeaker with 

an 8 Ohm or 4 Ohm impedance to the Channel 

1 - Channel 4 output terminals. Refer to “How to 

Connect” pages 8 thru 13.

Note: The impedance of a Loudspeaker actually var-

ies 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 Manufac-

turer for additional information about the actual 

impedance of the Loudspeaker before connecting 

it to the McIntosh MI254.

Your decision to own this McIntosh MI254 Four 

Channel Power Amplifier ranks you at the very top
