The Mcintosh
Model MC-60 is a 60 watt high fidelity power amplifier designed for home
entertainment systems and professional applications where high power and
distortion free performance is required. The Model MC-60, like all other
McIntosh power amplifiers. Uses the exclusive McIntosh high efficiency output
circuit and bifilar output transformer to obtain the high standard of
performance found in this amplifier.
Some of the
more important characteristics of the amplifier are less than 1/3% harmonic
distortion at any power output up to 60 watts and at any frequency in the audio
spectrum, 20 to 20,000 cps; less than 1/2% intermodulation distortion for all
power levels up to 120 instantaneous peak watts; and noise and hum level 90 dB
or more below the rated output level.
The MC-60
has two high impedance inputs and many be operated from any signal source
deliviring 0,5 volts or more, or directly from a McIntosh Audio Compensator or
pre-Amplifier such as the Models C-4,
C-8, C-104 or C-108.
Output
impedances of 4, 8 and 16 ohms are provided for direct connection to
loudsapeakers. An additional 600 Ω output is present for use with lines.
