Performance Features

• Power Output

The MA6300 consists of a 100 watts per channel stereo Power Amplifier and a sophisticated Preamplifier in one compact unit with less than 0.005% distortion.

•Electronic Input Switching and Balanced Input Digital Logic integrated circuits drive Electromagnetic switches on all seven inputs and operating functions for reliable, noiseless, distortion free switching. The Balanced Input allows the connection of a source component using long cable lengths, without a loss in sound quality.

•Power Guard

The patented McIntosh Power Guard circuit prevents the amplifier from being overdriven into clipping with its harsh distorted sound that can also damage your valuable loudspeakers.

• Sentry Monitor and Thermal Protection

McIntosh Sentry Monitor power output stage protection circuits ensure the MA6300 will have a long and trouble free operating life. Built-in thermal protection circuits guard against overheating.

• Illuminated Power Meters

The Illuminated Power Output Watt Meters on the MA6300 are peak responding, and indicate the power out- put of the amplifier.

• Power Control

The Power Control Output connection provides convenient Turn-On/Off of McIntosh Source Components connected to the MA6300.

• Remote Control

The Remote Control provides control of the MA6300 operating functions and any McIntosh Source Components connected to it.

Introduction

Now you can take advantage of traditional McIntosh stan- dards of excellence in the MA6300 Integrated Amplifier. The Power Amplifier section of the MA6300, with a power output of 100 watts per channel, will drive a pair of quality loudspeakers to a high level of performance. The flexible Preamplifier section provides connections for various input sources and may also be used to drive an external Power Amplifier. The MA6300 reproduction is sonically trans- parent and absolutely accurate. The McIntosh Sound is “The Sound of the Music Itself.”

• Special Power Supply

A regulated Power Supply and a special R-Core Power Transformer, ensures stable noise free operation even though the power line varies.

•Fiber Optic Solid State Front Panel Illumination The even Illumination of the Front Panel is accomplished by the combination of custom designed Fiber Optic Light Diffusers and extra long life Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). The glass Front Panel ensures the pristine beauty of the MA6300 will be retained for many years.
