MA6500 Integrated Amplifier EXCLUSIVE MCINTOSH POWER ASSURANCE SYSTEM A collection of technologies that enhance performance and reliability and protect the amp and the loudspeakers. Power Guard
clipping protection. A waveform comparison circuit continuously monitors both input and output signals and dynamically adjusts the input level to insure maximum output power while preventing harsh sounding clipping distortion. Sentry Monitor
current protection continually senses the voltage and current of the output stage and confines it to a safe limit, without limiting power output. Thermal cutouts protect your amp from overheating if cooling air is blocked and transistors become too hot. DC failure protectionguards speakers against output circuit failure. Turn-on delayslows operation for about two seconds after turn-on in order to avoid any pops or thumps generated as other equipment turns on. Soft Start inrush protection eliminates component stress during turn-on. Thermistors in the power transformer act as a cushion against inrush current. Soft Start is one of many details that contribute to the remarkable longevity of McIntosh equipment. 2 x 120/200 watts (8/4 ohms) Wide power bandwidth with ultra-low distortion Exclusive McIntosh Power Assurance System Illuminated peak-responding meters Silent electromagnetic switching Precision-trimmed volume control Loudness compensation Exclusive McIntosh tone controls 6 source selections including phono Switching for 2 pairs of speakers Accommodate more sources with McIntosh MVS3 A/V Selector Control data output for source componentsRemote power control Remote operation of lights, screens, and drapes with McIntosh HC1 Home Controller Electronically regulated power supply Gold-plated input and output jacks Fanless convection cooling Modular construction with steel chassis Glass front panel with illuminated nomenclature Infrared remote control Headphone jack FREQUENCY RESPONSE 20Hz to 20kHz, +0 / -0.5dB TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION 0.005% max. at any level from 250 milliwatts to rated power output per channel from 20Hz to 20kHz.
