CUSTOM OUTPUT
TRANSFORMER
Unique McIntosh-wound transformer
delivers the full rated amplifier output
with the least possible distortion and
maximum bandwidth into loudspeaker
impedances of 2, 4, or 8 Ohms; you get
all the power you paid for and the
freedom to choose any loudspeaker.
WATTMETER
Swift, accurate response reveals program
peaks so staying within the power limits
of your loudspeakers is easy.
BALANCED INPUTS
Allows the use balanced cables for 40dB
better rejection of induced noise.
MONO MODES
Mono-Bridge and Mono-Parallel modes
enable the MC2102 to deliver a full 200
watts as a mono amplifier into 1,2,4,8 or
16 Ohm loads.
