User manual MCINTOSH MC2KW DATASHEET

[. . . ] Mc2kw 2, 000 Watt Monoblock Power Amplifier Ordinary amplifiers simply do not have enough power to reproduce full-sized live music without running out of power on short transients. [. . . ] The signal from the Power Modules enters a doublewound, mirror image output transformer where each kilowatt of power is added canceling noise and distortion. The MC2KW Power Amplifier is available exclusively through McIntosh Authorized Platinum Premier Dealers. "enough power to accurately produce a live musical event without distortion" Balanced and Unbalanced Inputs Thruputs for Bi and Tri-Amping Connections for 8, 4, and 2 Ohms 3 Full Sets of Terminals for Tri-Wiring Power Control Triggers (In and Out) Peak Responding Output Meter Meter Hold Front Panel Switch Silent Convection Cooling Cool-Running High Efficiency Circuits Thermal Track Output Transistors Safe Operation to Below 2 Ohms Sentry Monitor Protection Power Line Inrush Protection Fiber Optic Front Panel Lighting legendary Mc2kw 2, 000 Watt Monoblock Power Amplifier EXCLUSIVE MCINTOSH POWER ASSURANCE SYSTEM A collection of technologies that enhance performance and reliability while protecting the amplifier and loudspeakers. POWER GUARD® A waveform comparison circuit continuously monitors both input and output signals. Power Guard dynamically adjusts the input level to avoid clipping while preventing harsh sounding distortion. SENTRY MONITOR® Fuse-less short-circuit protection circuit disengages the output stage before current exceeds safe operating level ­ resets automatically. OUTPUT AUTOFORMER® Unique McIntosh technology delivers the full rated amplifier output with the least possible distortion into loudspeaker impedances of 2, 4, or 8 Ohms; you get all the power you paid for and the freedom to choose any loudspeaker. FREQUENCY RESPONSE +0, -0. 25dB from 20Hz to 20kHz +0, -3. 0dB from 10Hz to 100kHz TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION 0. 005% maximum harmonic distortion at any power level from 250 milliwatts to 2000 watts, 20Hz to 20kHz INTERMODULATION DISTORTION 0. 005% maximum, if instantaneous peak power output does not exceed 4000 watts, for any combination of frequencies from 20Hz to 20kHz. A-WEIGHTED SIGNAL-TO-NOISE RATIO Unbalanced: 90dB (123dB below rated output) Balanced: 94dB (127dB below rated output) POWER OUTPUT 2000 watts into an 8, 4, or 2 Ohm load is the minimum sine wave continuous average power output.
