The MC830 is a 1-Channel Solid State Amplifier that features an open chassis industrial design similar to our popular MC275 Vacuum Tube Amplifier, C8 Vacuum Tube Preamplifier, and MA252 and MA352 Integrated Amplifiers.

Direct coupled output design that is rated at 300 Watts at 8 Ohms or 480 Watts at 4 Ohms.

Fast-responding Dual Scale Watt meter gives an accurate readout of power output for both speaker impedances.

Monogrammed Heatsinks™ add visual appeal and will keep the MC830 running cool for optimum performance.

Power Guard® technology monitors the output signal to protect your speakers against being over driven.

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

Solid Cinch™ speaker binding posts easily secure your speaker cables to prevent them from coming loose and possibly causing a short.

Power Control ports allow for easy system power up and shutdown by sending power on/off signals to other connected McIntosh components.

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