McIntosh MI347 7-Channel Digital Amplifier FAQs

What are the exact power ratings for the MI347 (per channel)?

The MI347 is rated as three front channels at 250 W into 8 Ω (300 W into 4 Ω) and four surround channels at 125 W into 8 Ω (200 W into 4 Ω). It also lists dynamic headroom and rated power band specs.

Does the MI347 accept balanced and unbalanced inputs and does it have any “bus” or summed inputs?

Yes — the MI347 provides balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) inputs for all seven channels. The manual also mentions bus input options and shows connection examples for multi-zone and common setups, so it’s flexible for different front-end configurations.

Can I rack-mount the MI347 and what are the physical dimensions/weight?

Each channel has a tri-color LED: green = normal operation with signal, amber = channel reached max output and Power Guard® is preventing clipping, red = current limit or short-circuit and the channel has shut down for protection. The MI347 includes Sentry Monitor (fuse-less short-circuit protection) and thermal protection to reset or protect as needed.

What do the front-panel LEDs mean — what happens if an LED turns amber or red?

Each channel has a tri-color LED: green = normal operation with signal, amber = channel reached max output and Power Guard® is preventing clipping, red = current limit or short-circuit and the channel has shut down for protection. The MI347 includes Sentry Monitor (fuse-less short-circuit protection) and thermal protection to reset or protect as needed.
