McIntosh PS112 manual Performance Features

Performance Features

•Patented LD/HP Technology

The McIntosh Loudspeaker Element features the patented LD/HP motor structure. This design, when compared to conventional Loudspeaker Elements, reduces distortion significantly. It also increases power handling and efficiency.

·Power Guard

The patented McIntosh Power Guard circuit prevents the PS112’s Amplifier from being overdriven into clipping, with its harsh distorted sound that can also damage your valuable loudspeaker.

•Flared Acoustic Bass Port

The Acoustic Bass Port in the PS112 has Flared Front and Rear openings to eliminate air movement noise.

•Shielded Magnetic Field

The PS112 may be used in Home Theater Installations near a television receiver or monitor without causing the television image to degrade. McIntosh has designed special shielding around the magnetic structure of the PS112’s Loudspeaker Element to prevent interference.

•Remote Power Control

The turn-on method uses a standard McIntosh Power Con- trol jack to receive a turn-on signal from a McIntosh Con- trol Center. The alternate turn-on method for the PS112 uti- lizes signal-sensing circuitry.

•Low Distortion

The PS112’s Amplifier has very Low Total Harmonic Dis- tortion. This THD rating combined with the low distortion of the McIntosh LD/HP Driver provides exceptionally smooth and clean low frequency response.

•Bass Enhance

The Bass Enhance Switch provides a Low Frequency Bass Boost for use with video sources to enhance the impact of low frequency sound effects.

•Phase Switch

The Phase Switch can be set to 00 or 1800 to avoid phase cancellation.

•Sub Frequency Filter

The variable Sub Frequency Filter selects the low frequen- cies sent to the PS112’s Power Amplifier when used with a full range source signal.

•Hi-Pass Filter

The variable Hi-Pass Filter selects the midrange and high frequencies sent to the Hi-Pass Out Jacks for use with an external power amplifier and loudspeakers.

·Sentry Monitor and Thermal Protection McIntosh Sentry Monitor power output stage protection circuits ensure the PS112 will have a long and trouble free operating life. Built-in Thermal Protection Circuits guard against overheating.

•Gold Plated Input Connectors

The PS112 input connectors are gold plated for superior corrosion resistance and high electrical conductivity.
