Equipped with an unmistakable aesthetic, the most opulent of McIntosh 's monophonic tube power amplifiers is designed, thanks to its 300 continuous watts of output, to attack with authority even the most demanding of speakers in reference stereo systems.
A task to which the now legendary (its origins date back to McIntosh herself in 1949) Unity Coupled Circuit output transformer contributes extremely effectively, as it guarantees full delivery of the aforementioned power regardless of whether the impedance of the the associated speaker is 8, 4 or 2 ohms.
On the other hand, the MC2301 is the first tube power stage built by McIntosh that uses the brand's exclusive Quad Balanced circuit architecture, which allows virtually all noise and distortion present in the audio signal to be canceled.
Another exclusive McIntosh technology present in the MC2301 is the Sentry Monitor fuseless short circuit protection system, which deactivates the output stage - that is, the power amplification itself - before the current exceeds safe operating levels, and then it restarts automatically.
Equipped with a stainless steel chassis and balanced and unbalanced inputs, the MC2301 is completed with two iconic McIntosh elements: the treated glass front panel and an elegant analogue meter with a blue background.
