It powers the two \nmain speakers as well as the center channel, making it particularly suitable for \ndemanding home cinema setups where the front soundstage, dialogues, and musical \nreproduction should converge at an appropriately high level.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAutoformer Technology for Flexible Speaker Selection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe MC303 AC is McIntosh's first multi-channel power amplifier with Autoformers. \nThis McIntosh technology ensures that the amplifier delivers its \nrated output power to various speaker loads. \nThis provides greater freedom in speaker selection without restricting the amplifier to \na specific impedance class.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower Guard and Sentry Monitor for Safe Operation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePower Guard continuously monitors input and output signals and \nreduces the risk of clipping. This helps to avoid severe sound distortion at \nhigh levels. Sentry Monitor complements this protection with a \nfuse-less short-circuit protection circuit that shuts down the output stage \nbefore critical operating values are reached and then automatically \nresets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWattmeters for Direct Control\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe three peak-reading wattmeters display program peaks quickly and \naccurately.
