SENTRY MONITOR ® TUBE PROTECTION Fuse-less short-circuit protection circuit disengages the output stage before current exceeds safe operating level – resets automatically. UNITY COUPLED OUTPUT CIRCUIT ® Output power is taken from both the plate and cathode of the output tubes. Conventional designs only take output from the latter. This allows ½ the turns ratio, or ¼ the impedance transformation of conventional designs. The result is much lower distortion, wider bandwidth and increased loudspeaker damping factor. WATTMETER Swift, accurate response reveals program peaks so staying within the power limits of your loudspeakers is easy. FOR THE CONSUMERS PROTECTION In order to ensure the highest level of customer satisfaction, new McIntosh products may only be purchased over-the- counter or delivered and installed by an Authorized McIntosh Dealer. McIntosh products that are purchased over the Internet, by phone or mail order are presumed to be used and do not qualify for any McIntosh Warranty. McIntosh does not warrant, in any way, products that are purchased from anyone who is not an Authorized Dealer or products that have had their serial number altered or defaced.
