DESCRIPTION

The

McIntosh

Model

Mc-30

is

a

30

watt

high

fidelity

power

amplifier

designed

for

home

entertainment

systems

and

professional

applications.

The

Model

Mc-30

is

similar

to

the

earlier

McIntosh

Model

A-116

30

watt

amplifiers

and

includes

all

of

the

rigid

electrical

specifications

and

features

found

in

these

earlier

units

plus:

less

than

0.3%

harmonic

distortion

at

any

power

output

up

to

30

watts

and

at

any

frequency

in

the

audio

spectrum,

20

to

20,000

cps;

less

than

0.5%

intermodulation

distortion

if

instantaneous

peak

power

is

below

60

watts

for

any

combination

of

fre-

quencies

20

to

20,

000

cps;

and

noise

and

hum

level

90

db

or

more

below

rated

output.

The

famous

McIntosh

high

efficiency

output

circuit

is

used

to

obtain

the

high

standard

of

performance

found

in

this

amplifier.

The

Mc-30

may

"be

operated

from

any

signal

source

delivering

0.5

or

more

volts,

or

directly

from

a

McIntosh

Audio

Compensator

or

Pre-Amplifier,

such

as

the

Models

C-S,

C-104,

or

C-10S.

Output

impedances

of

4,

Sand

16

ohms

are

provided

for

direct

connection

to

loudspeakers.

An

additional

600

ohm

output

is

present

for

use

with

lines,

etc.

INST

ALLA

TION

Location

The

Mc-30

should

be

located

in

a

ventilated

Input

Connections

1.

When

a

McIntosh

Audio

Compensator

or

other

McIntosh

pre-amplifier

is

used

with

the

Mc-30,

plug

the

pre-amplifier's

output-power

cord

into

the

"Pre-Amp

input"

receptacle

on

the

Mc-30

and

turn

the

"gain"

control

fully

counter

clockwise.

This

receptacle

supplies

the

required

plate

and

filament

power

to

the

pre-amplifier

equipment

as

well

as

providing

the

necessary

audio

connection.

For

pre-amplifier

installation

and

operation

refer

to

the

pre-amplifier's

instruction

manual.

2.

When

a

signal

source

of

O.

5

volts

or

more

is

used

to

drive

the

amplifier,

such

as

the

output

from

a

tuner,

tape

recorder,

or

pre-amplifier,

plug

the

source

into

the

"0.5

volt

input"

pin

jack

receptacle

or

connect

to

the

"0.5

volt"

and

"GND"

screw

terminals.

Use

the

"gain"

control

to

obtain

the

desired

operating

level.

If

desired,

the

signal

source

may

be

wired

to

an

octal

plug

for

insertion
