Introduction

Now you can take advantage of traditional McIntosh stan- dards of excellence in the MC207 Power Amplifier. Seven 200 watt high current output channels will drive any high quality Loudspeaker System to its ultimate performance.

The MC207 reproduction is sonically transparent and abso- lutely accurate. The McIntosh Sound is “The Sound of the Music Itself.”

Performance Features

•Power Output

The MC207 consists of seven Power Amplifier Channels, each capable of 200 watts into 4 ohm or 8 ohm Loudspeak- ers with less than 0.005% distortion.

•Patented Power Guard

The patented McIntosh Power Guard Circuit prevents the amplifier from being over driven into clipping, with its harsh distorted sound that can also damage your valuable Loudspeakers.

•Dynamic Power ManagerTM

The MC207’s Dynamic Power Manager (DPM) circuitry allows for the connection of either 4 ohm or 8 ohm Loud- speakers, while at the same time delivering identical power output. A peak output current of 25 amperes per channel ensures that it will successfully drive high quality Loud- speakers such as McIntosh for a truly exciting sound expe- rience.

•Balanced and Unbalanced Inputs

Balanced connections guard against induced noise and al- low long cable runs without compromising sound quality.

•Patented Sentry Monitor with Thermal Protection McIntosh Sentry Monitor power output stage protection circuits ensure the MC207 will have a long and trouble free operating life. Built-in Thermal Protection Circuits guard against overheating.

•Power Control

The McIntosh Power Control Circuit allows for remote turn-on of the MC207 Power Amplifier from a McIntosh A/V Control Center or Preamplifier for a single or dual Zone System.

•Illuminated Power Meters

The Illuminated Power Output Watt Meters on the MC207 are peak responding, and indicate the power output of the Front Amplifier Channels. The Meter Illumination may be switched Off at any time.

•Fiber Optic Solid State Front Panel Illumination The Illumination of the Front Panel is accomplished by the combination of custom designed Fiber Optic Light Diffus- ers and Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). This provides even Front Panel Illumination, together with the extra long life LEDs.

•Glass Front Panel and Super Mirror Chassis Finish The famous McIntosh Illuminated Glass Front Panel and the Stainless Steel Chassis with Super Mirror Finish ensure the pristine beauty of the MC207 will be retained for many years.
