RCA Inputs, XLR Balanced Inputs
High-quality gold-plated female RCA
jacks provide a very high-quality
input connection, but MCA Series II
amplifiers give you even more. XLR
Balanced connections are commonly
used in the professional recording
and broadcast industries to ensure
the lowest level of noise and hum
possible. Now you can use this same
high-quality connection for reference-
quality high-end sound, since XLR
Balanced inputs are included on all
MCA Series II amplifiers!
Our unique auto-sensing circuit also
makes input selection easy. Its default
setting is the RCA input – plug in your
RCA connector and it operates. If you
choose to use the XLR Balanced input
instead, just plug it in and our auto-
sensing circuit automatically switches
to the XLR input. No switches, no
problems, it’s simple.
Stable as a Rock
MCA Series II amplifiers are incredibly
stable into difficult, low-impedance
speaker loads, making these superb
sounding dynamos also fantastically
reliable performers, even in the tough-
est of circumstances.
Joules of Power
With 200 watts, large banks of
capacitors are needed to store all of
the energy required for the immense
dynamic bursts of various special
effects in a movie or the taxing
crescendo of a solo piano. These
amplifiers store an incredible 20,000
micro farads (µF) of capacitance, per
channel (that’s 100,000 µF for the
MCA 5 Series II!). With so many
Joules of power in reserve, when
called upon, MCA Series II amplifiers
are able to deliver full blasts of
power that are both instantaneous
and effortless.
Massive Heatsinks
To deliver full power and do so
reliably, an amplifier must be able to
dissipate the heat generated by its
output devices quickly and efficiently.
MCA Series II amplifiers use massive
custom heatsinks that are computer
designed and modeled to maximize
contact area for exceptional heat
transfer efficiency.
Better Output Connection
We have even improved our binding
posts. They’re easier to use and they
now facilitate even larger speaker
cable connectors. These oversized
robust binding posts ensure full
power delivery at all times.
Multiple Power Switches
MCA Series II amplifiers can be
powered on/off three ways.
Manually with the On/Off switch on
the front panel, remotely via its 12
volt trigger input, or automatically
with its patented Auto-On/Off circuit
– with an audio signal (from
Preamplifier or SSP) it immediately
switches on; and when there is no
audio signal after 20 minutes, it
simply switches off.
Detachable Power Cord
While a detachable AC power cord
is a welcome convenience when
connecting various components, it
is also more than that. High-end
products have always offered
consumers the freedom to use a
variety of after-market power cords
offered by various specialty cable
manufacturers, if they so choose.
MCA Series II amplifiers further
show their true high-end pedigree by
including IEC detachable AC female
sockets and high power, high quality
14 awg AC cords.
Superior Craftsmanship
Whether it’s our custom low-noise
550 VA toroidal power transformers
(two in the MCA 5!), high-current
bipolar output transistors, high-
quality filter capacitors, advanced
power supply regulation, over-sized
aluminum heatsinks – for cool
operation and long life, custom
designed dual binding posts, or
patented auto-on/off circuitry, MCA
Series II amplifiers – designed and
built in North America – are like no
other amplifiers in the world!
