This excess voltage is slowly and harmlessly released to the circuit’s neutral wire rather than the ground wire, where it could still find its way to your audio components and cause damage. Unlike surge protection devices that use other suppression methods or “power conditioners,” the MPC1500’s suppression module is not sacrificial and will not need replacing after a surge event.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The MPC1500 comes with either 6 medical grade Type B1 (a.k.a. NEMA 5-15R) duplex receptacles, or 6 high quality Type F1 (a.k.a. CEE 7\/3 or “Schuko”) single receptacles. Only the appropriate version is available in each individual country to ensure compatibility with local power systems. Two of the receptacles are always active when the MPC1500 is plugged in. Control of the other 4 receptacles can be configured to your preferences via the rear panel Power Control switches. LED indicators on both the front and back show the current in-use state of each receptacle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Blue Watt meters have been repurposed to show the real time incoming voltage and the actual current draw of the connected devices. The meters will be scaled to the correct amperage and voltage based on the local country (e.g. the voltage meter will be scaled to 250 for countries that use the Type F receptacle). Regardless if the unit has Type B or Type F receptacles, all versions of the MPC1500 feature the timeless McIntosh black glass front panel with blue meters, an illuminated logo, control knobs, and aluminum end caps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"lft\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLOAD REGULATION: ± 2.5 %\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOUTPUT VOLTAGE: 120 Volts AC Nominal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePOWER REQUIREMENT: 120 Volts, 60Hz; 12.0 Amps, maximum current; 1440 Watts, maximum power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDIMENSIONS (W X H X D): 17-1\/2\" (44.45cm) x 7-5\/8\" (19.37cm) (including feet) x 22\" (55.88cm) (including front panel, knobs and cables)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWEIGHT: 87 lbs (39.46 kg)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSHIPPING WEIGHT: 105 lbs (47.63 kg)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- \/TABS --\u003e","brand":"McIntosh Labs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31467948048447,"sku":"MPC1500","price":7000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0242\/3334\/5087\/files\/mcin_mpc1500_1000x1000_0a51b8d5-dbce-4986-bc00-24cc2452a880.jpg?v=1684640894"},{"product_id":"sonus-faber-aida-ii","title":"Sonus faber Aida II Flagship Loudspeaker","description":"After six years from the introduction of the first grandiose Aida, Sonus faber pushes the envelope and presents the new Aida, the brand’s flagship speaker poised at the pinnacle of its product range. \u003c!-- TABS --\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eOVERVIEW\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt a first glance, there’s no difference when comparing the Aida II to the 2011 edition. Instead, the 6 years separating the two editions are evident in some important stylistic choices: above all, the introduction of the Wenge wood finish, so indiscriminately appreciated by the high end and home decor lovers, treated according to the highest tradition of Sonus faber, with maple wood inlay and our signature hand polishing process.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Don’t let the familiar face fool you, however!

This is thanks to the 28 mm tweeter with silk dome and “Arrow Point” DAD (Damped Apex Dome, the dampening system to avoid counter phase vibrations of the dome) as well as the midrange with cellulose pulp cone and Neodymium motor system. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e STEALTH ULTRAFLEX SYSTEM\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Patented system that allows a big reduction of the THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) and a better bass extension while minimizing distortion and eliminating spurious vibration coming from the air passage inside the reflex duct.

The dynamically linear magnetic field motor incorporates triple Kellog\/Goeller rings. A special custom diaphragm is made with a real-time air dried non-pressed blend of traditional cellulose pulp, Kapok, Kenaf and other natural fibers, developed according to the most natural sound. To further inhibit any residual cone coloration, we are using a transparent viscous surface damping coating. The basket is thoroughly optimized to eliminate any resonance, fully CNC machined from solid billets of Avional and Gunmetal. The combination of the two different metals allows eliminating any mutual resonance. The same way as the tweeter, the midrange is decoupled from the main baffle board and designed synergistically with its optimized “acoustic chamber”.
