LOUDSPEAKER PRODUCTS
FIVE YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY
W
elcome to the family of McIntosh owners�
This is the Warranty for your new McIntosh
Loudspeaker Product (the “Speaker”)� Your
Speaker has been designed to give many years of
trouble-free performance� Nonetheless, failures
do sometimes occur even with equipment as well-
built as McIntosh’s� Therefore, please read this
Warranty carefully, because it contains rights, as
well as limitations, exclusions, and obligations,
which in the event of such a failure may be very
important to you� If after reading it thoroughly, you
have any questions about the Warranty, please do
not hesitate to write or telephone McIntosh at the
address or phone number shown on the back of this
warranty� Please note that this is the only Warranty
which McIntosh provides for your Speaker, and that
no one, including your dealer, has any authority
to either modify or expand upon this Warranty� If
your dealer has offered or made any warranties
or representations concerning the Speaker which
differ from those contained in this Warranty, they
are strictly between you and the dealer, and will
neither be binding upon McIntosh nor change any
of the provisions in this Warranty�
Scope and Duration of Warranty

(“McIntosh”) warrants to the original owner that this Speaker shall be free from defects
in workmanship or materials for a term of five (5) years from the date when it was
purchased from an Authorized McIntosh Dealer�
Limitations on Persons and Speakers Covered by this Warranty
This Warranty and all rights provided here under are limited to the original owner� In
the event that the original owner transfers ownership of the Speaker prior to expiration
of the five-(5) year term, this Warranty shall terminate in its entirety upon the date
of such transfer� In addition, McIntosh does not warrant in any way Speakers which
are purchased from anyone who is not an Authorized McIntosh Dealer, or which
have had their Serial Numbers altered or defaced� Therefore this Warranty is void
and inapplicable if this Speaker has been purchased from someone other than an
Authorized McIntosh Dealer, or has had its original Serial Numbers altered or defaced�
Geographical Limitations
This Warranty has been included with a McIntosh Speaker that is designed, intended to
be sold and used only within the United States and Canada� Accordingly, this Warranty

only applies while such Speakers are used in the United States or Canada� Speakers
purchased outside the United States or Canada, and failures occurring outside the
United States or Canada, are not covered by this Warranty�
What McIntosh will do under the Warranty
In the event of any defect covered by this Warranty, McIntosh shall without charge
provide all parts, materials, and labor necessary to restore the Speaker to its original
specifications� After repair, McIntosh shall return the Speaker to its owner at the
owner’s expense� In the alternative, McIntosh may at its sole option either replace the
Speaker without charge, or if replacement is not commercially practicable or repair
or replacement cannot be accomplished within a reasonable time, McIntosh may
refund the purchase price of the Speaker, subject where appropriate to reasonable
depreciation for actual use in accordance with applicable laws, in full satisfaction of
its warranty obligations� McIntosh or its Authorized Service Agency will undertake to
complete the repair and return of the Speaker as soon as circumstances permit, unless
prevented by causes beyond their reasonable control�

removal or installation charges; shipping expenses either to or from McIntosh or
its Authorized Service Agency; loss of use; property damage of any kind; or other
incidental or consequential damages or losses of any kind�
