■ The MC830 is a 1-channel solid-state amplifier with an open industrial design reminiscent of the popular MC275 vacuum tube amplifier, C8 vacuum tube preamplifier, and the MA252 and MA352 integrated amplifiers.

■ Direct-coupled output design, rated at 300 Watts into 8 Ohms or 480 Watts into 4 Ohms.

■ Dual-scale Watt meter responds quickly, providing accurate reading of output power for both speaker impedances.

■ Engraved heat sinks add visual appeal and keep the MC830 running cool for optimal performance.

■ Power Guard® technology monitors the output signal to protect speakers from overload.

■ Sentry Monitor technology monitors the output current and shuts down the amplifier if it ever exceeds safe limits.

■ Solid Cinch speaker terminals make it easy to secure speaker cables to prevent them from loosening and possibly short-circuiting.

■ Power Control ports allow for easy system power on and off by sending power signals to other connected McIntosh units.

■ User-selectable Auto Off will turn off the MC830 after 30 minutes if no audio signal is received.
