McIntosh Autoformer technology makes the amplifier’s full rated output available at each of those impedances, giving the MC152 the flexibility to work with a wide range of loudspeakers without sacrificing rated power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt just 6\" tall, the MC152 is one of McIntosh’s more compact traditional power amplifiers and is well suited to systems where the company’s larger chassis are unnecessary or difficult to accommodate. It can serve as the main amplifier in a two-channel system or power surround channels in a home theater installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe output stage uses a push-pull complementary solid-state circuit, with Power Guard continuously comparing the input and output waveforms to prevent clipping. Sentry Monitor provides fuse-less short-circuit protection and automatically restores operation when conditions return to normal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBalanced and unbalanced inputs allow easy connection to a wide variety of preamplifiers. Dedicated speaker terminals are provided for 2-, 4-, and 8-ohm loads, while a pair of blue watt meters displays real-time output behind the familiar McIntosh black glass front panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003e150 Wpc Into 2, 4, or 8 Ohms\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMcIntosh Autoformers allow each channel to deliver its full rated 150 W into 2-, 4-, or 8-ohm loudspeaker loads rather than limiting maximum output to a single nominal impedance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSlim Chassis\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 6\" high, the MC152 occupies less vertical space than McIntosh’s larger stereo amplifiers, making it easier to accommodate in more compact equipment racks and systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003ePower Guard\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower Guard continuously compares the amplifier’s input and output signals and dynamically adjusts the input level when necessary to prevent clipping and the harsh distortion it can produce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSentry Monitor\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSentry Monitor provides fuse-less short-circuit protection for the output stage, disengaging it before current exceeds safe operating limits and automatically restoring operation when conditions return to normal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eAutoformer Output\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMcIntosh Autoformer technology couples the amplifier to dedicated 2-, 4-, and 8-ohm speaker outputs, allowing full rated power to be delivered across all three supported load impedances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eBlue Watt Meters\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDual front-panel watt meters provide fast visual indication of amplifier output and retain one of McIntosh’s most recognizable design elements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003ePower Control\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMcIntosh Power Control allows compatible components to receive coordinated power-on and power-off commands as part of a complete McIntosh system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat’s Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMcIntosh MC152 2-Channel Power Amplifier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAC power cord\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eType:\u003c\/b\u003e Solid-state stereo power amplifier\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChannels:\u003c\/b\u003e 2\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePower Output:\u003c\/b\u003e 150 Wpc into 2, 4, or 8 ohms\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRated Power Band:\u003c\/b\u003e 20 Hz–20 kHz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrequency Response:\u003c\/b\u003e 20 Hz–20 kHz, +0\/–0.25 dB; 10 Hz–100 kHz \u003cb\u003e(+0\/–3 dB)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTotal Harmonic Distortion:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.005% maximum, 250 mW to rated power, 20 Hz–20 kHz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIntermodulation Distortion:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.005% maximum\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSignal-to-Noise Ratio:\u003c\/b\u003e 118 dB balanced; 115 dB unbalanced, below rated output\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDynamic Headroom:\u003c\/b\u003e 2 dB\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDamping Factor:\u003c\/b\u003e Greater than 40, wideband\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eInput Sensitivity:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.4 V balanced; 1.2 V unbalanced\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eInput Impedance:\u003c\/b\u003e 22 kΩ balanced; 22 kΩ unbalanced\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVoltage Gain:\u003c\/b\u003e 29 dB into 8 ohms; 26 dB into 4 ohms; 23 dB into 2 ohms\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCircuit Configuration:\u003c\/b\u003e Push-pull complementary\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOutput Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Autoformer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBalanced Inputs:\u003c\/b\u003e 1 stereo pair\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUnbalanced Inputs:\u003c\/b\u003e 1 stereo pair\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRemote Power Control:\u003c\/b\u003e Yes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOutput Meters:\u003c\/b\u003e Yes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMeter Light Switch:\u003c\/b\u003e Yes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpeaker Connections:\u003c\/b\u003e McIntosh speaker binding posts\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFront Panel:\u003c\/b\u003e Glass\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIllumination:\u003c\/b\u003e LED fiber optic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChassis:\u003c\/b\u003e Enclosed steel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStandby Power Consumption:\u003c\/b\u003e Less than 0.3 W\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDimensions (H × W × D):\u003c\/b\u003e 6\" × 17-1\/2\" × 21\" (15.24 × 44.45 × 50.8 cm), including feet, front panel, and cables\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 75 lb.
