Performance Limits And Ratings - McIntosh MC2200 Owner's Manual

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 only manufacturer that makes
this guarantee.
PERFORMANCE
Mclntosh audio power ratings are in accordance with the
Federal Trade Commission Regulation of November 4,1974
concerning power output claims for amplifiers used in home
entertainment products.
POWER OUTPUT
STEREO

20.0 volts RMS across 2 ohms
28.3 volts RMS across 4 ohms
40.0 volts RMS across 8 ohms
MONO
400 watts minimum sine wave continuous
average power output into 0.5 ohm, 1
ohm, 2 ohms, or 4 ohms load impedance,
which is:
14.1 volts RMS across 0.5 ohm
20.0 volts RMS across 1 ohm
28.3 volts RMS across 2 ohms
40.0 volts RMS across 4 ohms
OUTPUT LOAD IMPEDANCE
STEREO
1 ohm, 2 ohms, 4 ohms, and 8 ohms; sepa-
rate terminals are provided for each output
MONO
0.5 ohm, 1 ohm, 2 ohms, and 4 ohms; ob-
tained by connecting together the appro-
priate terminals of both channels

TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION
STEREO
0.1% maximum harmonic distortion at any
power level from 250 milliwatts to 200
watts per channel from 20 Hz to 20,000
Hz, both channels operating
MONO
0.1% maximum harmonic distortion at any
power level from 250 milliwatts to 400
watts from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz
INTERMODULATION DISTORTION
STEREO
0.1% maximum if instantaneous peak power output is 400
watts or less per channel with both channels operating for
any combination of frequencies, 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz
MONO
0.1% maximum if instantaneous peak power output is 800
watts or less for any combination of frequencies, 20 Hz to
20,000 Hz
FREQUENCY RESPONSE (at one watt output)
