operating temperature is in a safe range again.
6. For the best performance and safety, it is important
to always match the impedance of the Loudspeaker
to the Power Amplifier connections. Refer to pages
10 and 11.
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 MA252.
7. The MA252 Remote Control is capable of operat-
ing other components. For additional information
