■

The MC830 is a 1-Channel Solid State Amplier that features an open
chassis industrial design similar to our popular MC275 Vacuum Tube
Amplier, C8 Vacuum Tube Preamplier, and MA252 and MA352
Integrated Ampliers.

■

Direct coupled output design that is rated at 300 Watts at 8 Ohms or 480
Watts at 4 Ohms.

■

Fast-responding Dual Scale Watt meter gives an accurate readout of
power output for both speaker impedances.

■

Monogrammed Heatsinks™ add visual appeal and will keep the MC830
running cool for optimum performance.

■

Power Guard® technology monitors the output signal to protect your
speakers against being over driven.

■

Sentry Monitor™ technology monitors the output current and shuts the
amplier off if it ever exceeds safe limits.

■

Solid Cinch™ speaker binding posts easily secure your speaker cables to
prevent them from coming loose and possibly causing a short.

■

Power Control ports allow for easy system power up and shutdown by
sending power on/off signals to other connected McIntosh components.

■

User selectable Auto Off feature will turn off the MC830 after 30 minutes
if no audio signal is received.
