Installation
The MC2301 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 MC2301 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 MC2301 is removed from the custom in- stallation and used free
standing. The required
panel cutout, ventilation cutout and unit dimen-
sions are shown. Always provide ad- equate ventilation for your MC2301. Cool operation ensures the longest possible operat- ing life for any elec- tronic instrument. Do not install the MC2301 directly above a heat generating component such as a high powered amplifier. If all the com- ponents are installed in a single cabinet, a quiet running ventilation fan can be a definite asset in maintaining all the sys- tem components at the coolest possible operat- ing temperature.
A custom cabinet instal- lation should provide the following minimum spacing dimensions for cool operation.
Allow at least 12 inches (30.48cm) above the top, 2 inches (5.08cm) below the bottom and 4 inches
(10.16cm) on each side of the Power Ampli- fier, so that airflow is
not obstructed. Allow 22 inches (55.88cm) depth behind the front panel. Allow
for clearance. Be sure to cut out a ventilation hole in the mounting shelf according to the dimensions in the draw- ing.
1When the MC2301 is installed together with other McIntosh Components, check clearances on all components before proceeding.
