The MC2KW Monoblock Power Amplifier is designed to exceed the demands of true lifelike playback level, delivering 2000 watts of continuous power and 8000 watts peak power. Sheer power output is but the beginning of the story, however.
OVERVIEW
The MC2KW features McIntosh Quad Balanced Circuitry, which, in the process of creating such extraordinary power, actually cancels virtually all noise and distortion. The MC2KW’s unique design incorporates three modules. Two 1000-watt Power Modules each contain half the balanced circuitry and a power supply.
The Output Module houses the input and output connections, meter, output Autoformer, and functions as the control center. The bifilar-wound, mirror-image output transformer combines the two signals from the Power Modules, cancelling noise and distortion while summing the power output.
