Installation - McIntosh MA7000 Owner's Manual

Installation

The MA7000 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 MA7000 when it
is custom installed as outlined below. The four feet togeth-
er with the mounting screws should be retained for pos-
sible future use if the MA7000 is removed from the custom
installation and used free standing. The required panel
cutout, ventila-
tion cutout and
unit dimensions
are shown.
Always pro-
vide adequate
ventilation for
your MA7000.
