The MC830 Solid State Amplifier by McIntosh stands as a testament to audio engineering excellence, featuring an open-chassis industrial design reminiscent of the iconic MC275 Vacuum Tube Amplifier, and the MA252 and MA352 Integrated Amplifiers. Designed for audiophiles seeking a true-to-life home audio experience, the MC830 pairs seamlessly with source components like the C8 Vacuum Tube Preamplifier, a turntable, CD player (consider the matching MCD85 SACD/CD Player), or a streaming music player, combined with a pair of speakers.
Robust Power and Precision: With a footprint akin to the MA252 Integrated Amplifier, the MC830 employs a direct-coupled output design, delivering a formidable 300 Watts at 8 Ohms or an impressive 480 Watts at 4 Ohms. The fast-responding Dual Scale Watt meter ensures an accurate readout of power output for both speaker impedances, while Monogrammed Heatsinks™ not only enhance visual appeal but also maintain optimal performance by ensuring the MC830 operates at an optimal temperature.
Versatile Connectivity: The MC830 is designed for seamless integration into your home music system, featuring both balanced and unbalanced inputs. Its balanced design allows it to effortlessly connect to a range of source components, contributing to a versatile and immersive listening experience.
Intelligent Speaker Protection: To safeguard your speakers and overall audio setup, the MC830 incorporates two cornerstone home audio technologies. The patented Power Guard® technology monitors the amplifier's output signal, preventing overdriving and potential damage to speakers. If necessary, it makes real-time micro-adjustments to the input signal to prevent clipping. The Sentry Monitor™ acts as a fuse-less short-circuit protection circuit, disengaging the MC830's output stage in case of abnormal conditions and resetting automatically when conditions normalize.
Solid Cinch™ Speaker Binding Posts: The MC830 prioritizes audio quality and convenience with patented Solid Cinch™ speaker binding posts. These posts secure speaker cables firmly, preventing disconnection and possible shorts. Gold-plated binding posts resist corrosion, ensuring a high-quality audio signal transmission to your speakers.
Smart Power Management: Power Control ports simplify system power-up and shutdown by sending on/off signals to connected McIntosh components. The user-selectable Auto-Off feature conserves energy by turning off the MC830 after 30 minutes of inactivity, ensuring an efficient and eco-friendly operation.
Aesthetic Sophistication: The MC830 is a visual masterpiece with a die-cast aluminum name badge on each side of the chassis. The front, top, and rear of the chassis are polished to a mirror finish, presenting a sleek and stylish appearance. The black glass front panel, silver trim, blue Watt meter, illuminated logo, and control knobs complete the sophisticated aesthetic.
