Features and Benefits
HIGH OUTPUT CURRENT
Greater than 25 amperes peak output current to
drive uneven speaker loads. Some poor speaker designs
have input impedances that dip to 1 or 2 ohms at
various frequencies. The MC7106 has the output current
reserve to drive them.
OVER 150 JOULES OF ENERGY STORAGE
Huge main filter capacitors that guarantee an
excellent signal to noise ratio and the energy storage
necessary for the wide dynamic range that "Digital
Audio" demands.
GOLD PLATED OUTPUT TERMINALS
Mclntosh gold plated output terminals will deliver
full output power to all speakers.
ULTRA LOW DISTORTION
Distortion so low that it defies measurement,
even with the finest distortion analyzers. At mid-freq-
uencies, 8 ohm load, the distortion meter reads the
residual distortion of the oscillator with or without the
MC7106 in the circuit. This means the amplifier
distortion is lower than the analyzer is capable of
measuring.
WIDE POWER BANDWIDTH
Full power output capability well above and below
the frequencies that can be heard by humans.
POWER GUARD
The exclusive Mclntosh circuit that prevents
harsh sounding clipping and protects your speakers from
damage.
THERMAL PROTECTION
Thermal sensors that turn off the speakers if
improper loading or ventilation causes the amplifier to
over heat.
DC OUTPUT PROTECTION
A circuit that turns off the speakers if for any
reason a DC voltage appears at the speaker terminals.
This prevents speaker damage.
