With dimensions that allow it to occupy the same floor space as the MA252 integrated amplifier, the MC830 is a monophonic power amplifier with a DC-coupled circuit design, which allows it to deliver 300 continuous watts into 8 ohms or 450 continuous watts into 4 ohms.
Another notable element of this superb amplifier is the new direct LED backlighting that it incorporates, to which are added two of McIntosh 's unmistakable Monogrammed Heatsinks heatsinks that are responsible for optimizing the evacuation of excess calories generated by the output transistors, while On the back panel are two of McIntosh 's versatile Solid Cinch connection terminals.
The MC830 also includes the effective Power Guard system to prevent possible clipping/clipping of the audio signal from damaging the loudspeakers, as well as the Sentry Monitor, an extremely fast protection circuit that deactivates the output stage to prevent the current exceeds the safe operating limits.
Of the MC830 we must also highlight its energy saving system and the iconic treated glass front panel which features one of McIntosh 's legendary analogue vu meters with a blue background.
