Absolutely off-the-shelf and transistor-based, the MC2KW monophonic power amplifier is the ultimate amplification electronics, having been specifically designed to exceed even the demands inherent in full-size music reproduction thanks to its power output of 2,000 watts continuous and 8,000 watts. peak with 2, 4 or 8 ohm speakers.
But the MC2KW goes much further, thanks to the exclusivity of its design in three modules, two of which incorporate power amplification circuits of 1,000 watts each - one for each half cycle of the signal - and a power supply, while that the third block houses the input and output connections, the level indicator and the output transformer, while also functioning as a control center.
A configuration based on the Quad Balanced circuit architecture, which, together with the generation of an extraordinary amount of power, virtually cancels any noise and distortion that may have been introduced into the audio signal, thus preserving its purity at any volume level.
As the flagship of McIntosh 's range of power amplifiers, the MC2KW incorporates other exclusive technologies from the legendary American firm, such as the iconic Autoformer, which allows the associated speaker to receive all the power regardless of what it is. its impedance.
The MC2KW 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.
The MC2KW is completed with the possibility of tri-wiring connection and a top-level construction presided over by the unmistakable treated glass front panel and one of McIntosh 's legendary analogue vu meters with a blue background.
