mc501 monoblock power amplifier audiophile performance and a design with the future in mind flawless the mc501 monoblock power amplifier has been designed to meet the expectations of the most demanding audiophile delegating an individual amplifier to each speaker eliminates any chance of interaction between channels and expanding into multi-channel formats is as easy as adding additional amplifiers quad-differential circuitry exclusive to mcintosh reduces noise and distortion to their lowest possible level while the mc501 delivers a massive 500 watts continuous power into 2 4 or 8 ohms and over 1200 watts of peak power into low impedances its noise levels are 124db below rated output this means that the mc501 combines super-high power with record-low levels of noise nearly an impossible combination the mc501 has a bold look yet is unmistakably a mcintosh it features a 2-dimensional glass front panel containing a large peak-responding true-wattmeter all illuminated with cool running ultra long-life led fiber-optic lighting the chassis gleams in polished stainless steel and vertically mounted connectors at the back make attaching cables easier and takes up less shelf space both unbalanced and balanced inputs are provided along with three sets of huge gold-plated speaker binding posts for high-performance speaker cables fully balanced quad-differential design new 3d glass panel design exclusive mcintosh output autoformerŽ exclusive mcintosh power assurance system power guardŽ clipping protection sentry monitorŽ current protection thermal protection dc failure protection turn-on delay soft start inrush protection fiber-optic light diffuser illumination illuminated peak-responding wattmeter balanced connections remote power control
