SPECIFICATIONS PERFORMANCE LIMITS Performance limits are the maximum deviation from perfection permitted for a Mclntosh instrument. We promise you that when you purchase an MC7106 from a Mclntosh franchised dealer, it will be capable of performance at or better than these limits. POWER OUTPUT, SIX CHANNELS 100 watts per channel into 8 ohm loads, or 160 watts per channel into 4 ohm loads minimum sine wave continuous average power output per channel, all channels operating. The output RMS voltage is: 28.
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY The MC7106 Six Channel power amplifier is designed to operate loudspeakers with a nominal impedance of 4 to 8 ohms. It features a new circuit design that keeps distortion levels so low it takes special test gear for accurate measurements. The design philosophy incorporated in this outstanding amplifier involved many different techniques, all based on sound scientific logic. Every stage of voltage or current amplification was designed to be as linear as possible.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION DIRECT CURRENT FAILURE PROTECTION A protection circuit is provided that turns off the speakers if for any reason a DC voltage should appear at the output terminals of any one of the six channels. The speakers will turn off only for the pair of channels that are affected. This safeguard prevents possible speaker damage. POWER GUARD* The MC7106 amplifier includes the unique patented Mclntosh POWER GUARD circuit.
