A push-pull complementary circuit with a direct-coupled output gives a damping factor above 100 wideband, and total harmonic distortion is held to 0.005% with a signal to noise ratio of 120 dB balanced below rated output. The open-chassis industrial design follows the MC275, MA252 and MA352, with a footprint matching the MA252 at 312 mm wide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA Dual Scale Watt meter reads output into both 4 and 8 ohm loads on the same dial. Both balanced and unbalanced inputs are provided, along with Power Control ports for switching connected McIntosh components and a user-selectable Auto Off that powers the amplifier down after 30 minutes without signal. Power Guard makes real-time adjustments to prevent harsh clipping, Sentry Monitor provides fuseless short-circuit protection with automatic reset, and patented gold-plated Solid Cinch binding posts secure the speaker cables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color:#0F527F;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e300 watts into 8 ohms, 480 watts into 4 ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePush-pull complementary circuit with direct-coupled output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDamping factor above 100 wideband\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal to noise ratio of 120 dB balanced below rated output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual Scale Watt meter reading 4 and 8 ohm output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBalanced and unbalanced inputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePatented gold-plated Solid Cinch binding posts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower Guard and Sentry Monitor protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMonogrammed Heatsinks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower Control ports for connected McIntosh components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUser-selectable Auto Off after 30 minutes without signal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact 312 mm wide open-chassis design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color:#0F527F;\"\u003eWarranty\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis product comes with a 3-year manufacturer warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color:#0F527F;\"\u003eWhy Consider the McIntosh MC830\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MC830 brings single-channel McIntosh amplification into a chassis small enough for rooms that cannot take a full-width component, and it is styled to sit beside the C8 preamplifier and the MC275.
