MC1201 Monoblock Power 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 comparson 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. The output autoformer prevents DC from reaching the speaker. Turn-on delaydelays operation for about two seconds after turn-on, to silence any pops or thumps generated by other equipment. 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.
