A fast-responding Dual Scale Watt meter gives an accurate readout of power output for both speaker impedances. McIntosh's 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 McIntosh's cornerstone home audio technologies. Their patented Power Guard® technology monitors the amplifier's output signal to protect your speakers against being overdriven; 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™, their 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\u003eMcIntosh's 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 are 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":43905600520276,"sku":"MCINTOSH:MC830-BSA","price":4675.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/3281\/8260\/files\/mc830-angle-hi-res_68c9d2c3-17d9-4cd0-817a-7a4731a9d3ef.jpg?v=1787852438","url":"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/products\/mcintosh-open-box-mc830-1-channel-solid-state-amplifier-a-grade","provider":"Audio Advice","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
