A pair of MC830s, when combined with a preamplifier (such as the matching C8 Vacuum Tube Preamplifier), source components like a turntable, CD player (see the matching MCD85 SACD\/CD Player) or streaming music player, and a pair of speakers, can deliver a true-to-life home audio experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a similar footprint to the MA252 Integrated Amplifier, the MC830 is a direct coupled output design that is rated at 300 Watts at 8 Ohms or 480 Watts at 4 Ohms. A fast-responding Dual Scale Watt meter gives an accurate readout of power output for both speaker impedances. The Monogrammed Heatsinks™ add visual appeal and will keep the MC830 running cool for optimum performance. Both a balanced and unbalanced input are included for connecting it to the rest of your home music system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo protect your speakers and overall system, the MC830 includes two of the McIntosh cornerstone home audio technologies. The patented Power Guard® technology monitors the amplifier's output signal to protect your speakers against being over driven; if necessary, it makes real time micro adjustments to the input signal to prevent clipping that could damage your speakers. Another level of protection is Sentry Monitor™, the fuse-less short-circuit protection circuit that will disengage the MC830's output stage before current exceeds safe operating levels, and then will reset automatically when operating conditions return to normal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe patented Solid Cinch™ speaker binding posts easily secure your speaker cables to prevent them from coming loose and possibly causing a short. The binding posts are gold-plated to prevent corrosion and ensure a quality audio signal is sent to your speakers. Power Control ports allow for easy system power up and shutdown by sending power on\/off signals to other connected McIntosh components. The user selectable Auto Off feature will turn off the MC830 after 30 minutes if no audio signal is received.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA die cast aluminum name badge is affixed to each side of the chassis, and the front, top and rear of the chassis is polished to a mirror finish. The MC830 features a black glass front panel with silver trim, a blue Watt meter, an illuminated logo, and control knobs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McIntosh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52457460334858,"sku":"143036","price":7590.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/5340\/0586\/files\/img143036_71300.jpg?v=1769459258","url":"https:\/\/hifi.shop\/en\/products\/mcintosh-mc830-ac","provider":"Hifi \u0026 Friends GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
