The mc 2200 can be housed in the mclntosh l22 cabinet, installed in a custom cabinet or, with the addition of rack mounting adapters (rma 7), mounted in a standard 19 inch rack panel. The mc 2200 weighs 85 pounds (38.6 kg). In any installation it is necessary to provide proper support for the weight...

Input stereo or twin amplifier operation use shielded cables to connect the signal from the pre- amplifier or signal source to the power amplifier input. To minimize the possibility of hum the shielded cables should be run parallel to each other or loosely twisted together. Locate the cables away fr...

Each channel for the impedance desired. Full power will be delivered to each properly connected speaker. When multiple speakers are to be connected to either or both outputs, the combined load impedance must be calcu- lated. The load must be connected to the appropriate im- pedance tap. Use this tab...

Front panel information left gain use the left gain control to adjust the volume in the left channel to the desired listening level. Turn the control clockwise to increase the volume. Right/mono gain use the right/mono gain control to adjust the volume in the right channel to the desired listening l...

Minates. A waveform comparator in the mc 2200 con- stantly compares the amplifier input and output waveform. Waveform difference of the output wave is converted to a voltage which is used as a control signal to "turn off" the normal indicator and to "turn on" the limit indicator. The limit indicator...
Page 12: Rear Panel Information
Rear panel information left and right output for stereo operation, output impedances of 1, 2, 4 and 8 ohms have been provided on a secure, screw type barrier strip. For monophonic operation proper interconnection provides 0.5,1, 2 and 4 ohms from the same barrier strips. Power guard amplifiers are c...

Performance limits and ratings performance guarantee performance limits are the maximum deviation from per- fection permitted for a mclntosh instrument we promise you that the mc 2200 you buy must be capable of per- formance at or exceeding these limits or you get your money back, mclntosh is the on...

Technical description input amplifier separate input amplifiers are used for the right and left channels. Each input amplifier is a two transistor feed- back amplifier which has unity gain. They are used to pro- vide high input impedance and low output impedance for driving the power amplifier secti...

The input waveform and the output waveform are compared in an integrated circuit differential amplifier. Any differences, due to distortion of the output waveform, are converted to a control voltage. This control voltage is applied differentially to a high gain operational amplifier where it is ampl...
