LISTENING TO YOUR STEREO SYSTEM

SETTING THE GAIN CONTROLS:

To set the GAIN controls for a stereo system use a

monophonic signal from the program source. A mono-
phonic signal supplies the same voltage to both chan-

nels. Turn the volume control on the source equipment
to the 12 o'clock position {half rotation).

Turn up the LEFT GAIN control until the loudness

in the room is about as loud as you like to listen. Then

turn the GAIN control on the RIGHT INPUT until it is

equally as loud as the left channel. The system is now
balanced for loudness and provides the greatest range

of operation and loudness change when using the vol-

ume control on the source equipment.

PERFORMANCE LIMITS

Performance Limits are the maximum deviation from

perfection permitted for a Mclntosh instrument. We

promise you that the MC 2100 you buy must be capable
of performance at or exceeding these limits or you get

your money back. Mclntosh is the only manufacturer
that makes this guarantee.

POWER OUTPUT

STEREO: 105 watts continuous, per channel, both

channels operating, which is:

20.5 volts RMS across 4 ohms

29.0 volts RMS across 8 ohms

41.0 volts RMS across 16 ohms

MONO—210 watts continuous, which is:

20.5 volts RMS across 2 ohms

29.0 volts RMS across 4 ohms
41.0 volts RMS across 8 ohms

HARMONIC DISTORTION

STEREO Will not exceed 0.25% at any power level

to 105 watts output per channel from 20 Hz to 20,000

Hz both channels operating. Typical performance is

less than  0 . 1 % at rated power. Distortion decreases

as output power is reduced
MONO Will not exceed 0.25% at any power level
to 210 watts output from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. Typical

performance is less than 0.1% at rated power. Dis-

tortion decreases as output power is reduced

INTERMODULATION DISTORTION

STEREO Will not exceed 0.25% if instantaneous

peak power is 210 watts or less per channel with
both channels operating for any combination of fre-

quencies 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz

MONO Will not exceed 0.25% if instantaneous peak

power is 420 watts or less for any combination of

frequencies 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz

FREQUENCY RESPONSE

20 Hz to 20,000 Hz +0 -0.25 dB at rated power

15 Hz to 60,000 Hz +0 —0.5 dB at rated power

10 Hz to 100,000 Hz +0  - 3 . 0 dB at one-half rated

power

NOISE AND HUM

90 dB or more below rated output

OUTPUT IMPEDANCE

STEREO 4, 8, and 16 ohms

MONO 2, 4, and 8 ohms

OUTPUT VOLTAGES

25 volts STEREO and MONO

DAMPING FACTOR

20 at 4 ohms output

14 at 8 ohms output

11 at 16 ohms output

INPUT IMPEDANCE

200,000 ohms

INPUT SENSITIVITY

0.5 volt. Level control provided for higher input volt-

age

POWER REQUIREMENTS

120 volts 50/60 Hz, 50 watts at zero signal output

450 watts at rated output

SEMICONDUCTOR COMPLEMENT

32 silicon transistors

14 silicon rectifiers and diodes

MECHANICAL INFORMATION

SIZE: 7% inches high (19.69 cm), 11% inches wide

(29.85 cm), 17 inches deep (43.18 cm)

CHASSIS: Chrome and black.
WEIGHT: 57 pounds (25.86 kg) net, 63 pounds (28.58

kg) in shipping carton

SPECIAL FEATURES

The amplifier is completely stable when connected

to any loudspeaker system or even to any reactive

loads. The MC 2100 has special circuits to prevent

damage by short circuit or open circuit of the output

loads, or by any amount of output impedance mis-
match.

Thermal cutouts are mounted on the output tran-

sistor heat sinks to provide protection in the event of

inadequate ventilation.
