McIntosh MC402 - Manual (Page 7)

7
The MC402 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 MC402 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
MC402 is removed
from the custom
installation and
used free standing.
The required panel
cutout, ventilation
cutout and unit di-
mensions are
shown.
Always provide
adequate ventila-
tion for your
MC402. Cool op-
eration ensures the
longest possible
operating life for
any electronic in-
strument. Do not
install the MC402
directly above a
heat generating
component such as
a high powered am-
plifier. If the
MC402 is installed
in a cabinet, a quiet
running ventilation
fan can be a defi-
nite asset in main-
taining the coolest
possible operating
temperature.
A custom cabi-
net installation
should provide the
following mini-
mum spacing di-
mensions for cool
operation. Allow at
least 6 inches
(15.24cm) above
the top, 2 inches
(3.81cm) below the

bottom and 3 inch (7.62cm) on each side of the amplifier,
so that airflow is not obstructed. Allow 22 inches
(55.88cm) depth behind the front panel. Allow 1 inch
(2.54cm) in front of the mounting panel for knob clearance.
Be sure to cut out a ventilation hole in the mounting shelf
according to the dimensions in the drawing.
