Introduction
Now you can take advantage of traditional McIntosh stan- dards of excellence in the MCC204 Power Amplifier. Four 50 watt high current output channels will drive any high quality loudspeaker system to its ultimate performance. The MCC204 reproduction is sonically transparent and ab- solutely accurate. The McIntosh Sound is “The Sound of the Music Itself.”
Performance Features
·Power Output
The MCC204 consists of four separate power amplifier channels, each capable of 50 watts into 4 ohm speakers with less than 0.005% distortion.
·Four Bridgeable Channels
The MCC204 includes four 50 watt amplifier channels. Each pair of channels can be set in bridged configuration for 200 watts output into 4 ohm loudspeakers with less than 0.01% distortion.
·High Current Output
A peak output current of 15 amperes ensures that the MCC204 will successfully drive high quality loudspeakers, such as McIntosh, for a truly exciting sound experience.
·Equalizer and Variable Crossover Filters
The one band equalizer has a center frequency that is vari- able from 40 Hz to 2,000 Hz which can be either cut or boosted ±12db. 12dB per octave high pass filters with vari- able corner frequencies from 50Hz to 120Hz and 12dB per octave low pass filters with variable corner frequencies from 50Hz to 120Hz.
·Power Guard and Sentry Monitor
All channels include the patented McIntosh Power Guard circuit that prevents the amplifier from being overdriven into clipping with its harsh distorted sound that can also damage your valuable loudspeakers. McIntosh Sentry Monitor power output stage protection circuits are present on all channels to ensure the MCC204 will have a long and trouble free operating life.
·Speaker Protection
If for any reason, a DC (Direct Current) voltage appears at the speaker output terminals, a
·Thermal Protection with
·Fully Discrete Design
The MCC204 has a fully complimentary double balanced amplifier design and is identical to that found in McIntosh’s leading home amplifiers.
·Balanced Inputs with Pass Through
The Balanced Inputs cancel out interference noise that is produced by other sources in the vehicle and can be di- rectly connected to the bridged speaker output of any head unit. The MCC204 provides four line level outputs, for the convenience of connecting
·Remote Subwoofer Control and Line Output
The subwoofer level can be controlled via an external ro- tary control, which can be remotely mounted in the vehicle. A line level summed output is provided to drive an external subwoofer power amplifier. The inputs to both channels are summed for this output.
·Gold Plated Terminals
McIntosh provides gold plated input and output terminals on the amplifiers for superior corrosion resistance. It is a very important feature in the automotive environment.
Speaker wires to 10 AWG and DC input wires to 4 AWG can be accommodated.
