4 Performance Features Introduction • Power Output The MC252 consists of two separate power amplifier chan- nels, each capable of 250 watts into 2, 4 or 8 ohm speakers with less than 0.005% distortion. The two channels can be combined into a single channel with 500 watts into 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16 ohm speakers with less than 0.
5 Connector Information, Introduction, Performance Features and Dimensions The following dimensions can assist in determining the best location for your MC252. There is additional informa- tion on the next page pertaining to installing the MC252 into cabinets.
6 Inst allation Caution: The MC252 Amplifier weight is 94.5 pounds (42.87 kilograms). It requires two or more persons to safely handle when moving the amplifier . The MC252 can be placed upright on a table or shelf, standing on its four feet. The four feet may be removed from the bottom of the MC252 when it is custom installed as outlined below .

16 T echnical Description McIntosh Laboratory , the company who introduced the world’ s first amplifier that could be called “High Fidelity”, has done it again. The McIntosh engineering staff has cre- ated a power amplifier without compromise, using the most advanced McIntosh circuit design concepts.
17 T echnical Description rent gain over the entire current range they must cover . Output transistors in particular , have matched uniform cur- rent gain, high current-bandwidth product and large active region safe operating area. An automatic tracking bias sys- tem completely eliminates any trace of crossover distor- tion.

This increase in temperature will result in a reduced life expectancy for the amplifier .
19 T echnical Description, con’t tronic attenuator at the amplifier input reduces the input volume just enough to prevent any further increase in dis- tortion. The Power Guard circuit acts so fast that there are absolutely no audible side effects and the sonic purity of the music reproduction is perfectly preserved.
