mc1201 monoblock power amplifier legendary mc1201 the most powerful mcintosh amplifier ever the producing a massive 1,200 watts the mc1201 is the most powerful amplifier ever created by mcintosh laboratory the extraordinary quaddifferential design of the mc1201 actually consists of two complete amplifier circuits one the mirror image of the other whose outputs are combined in the unique mcintosh output autoformer resulting in totally balanced operation from input to speaker output and the cancellation of virtually all distortion the mcintosh autoformer a hand-crafted transformer with output connections for two four and eight ohms creates an ideal impedance match to guard against distortion and reduction in power a mcintosh amplifier with an autoformer can also safely drive multiple speakers connected in parallel without shortening the life expectancy of the output stage far from exacting any performance penalty the autoformer s frequency response exceeds that of the output circuit and extends well beyond the audible range for almost immeasurably low distortion double-balanced push-pull design exclusive mcintosh output autoformer exclusive mcintosh power assurance system power guard clipping protection sentry monitor current protection thermal cutout dc failure protection turn-on delay soft start inrush protection illuminated peak-responding wattmeter balanced connections remote power control
