Technical Description

McIntosh Laboratory, the company who introduced the world’s first amplifier that could be called “High Fidelity”, has done it again. The McIntosh engineering staff has cre- ated a power amplifier without compromise, using the most advanced McIntosh circuit design concepts.

A continuous average power output rating of 600 watts and with an output current of greater than 150 amperes per channel, makes this not only the most advanced, but also the most powerful amplifier McIntosh has ever manufac-

tured. The distortion limits for the MC602 are no more than 0.005% at rated power output for all frequencies from 20Hz to 20,000Hz. Typical performance at mid frequencies is less than 0.002%. The true distortion readings on the MC602 are so low, it takes special measuring techniques to make accurate readings. The MC602 can deliver the best possible performance from any type of high quality loud- speaker system.

Creating an amplifier with this level of performance did
