McIntosh MA6700 User Manual

6
Now you can take advantage of traditional McIntosh
standards of excellence in the MA6700 Integrated
Amplifier or MAC6700 Receiver. The Power Ampli-
fier section of the MA/MAC6700, with a power output
of 200 watts per channel, will drive a pair of quality
Loudspeakers to a high level of performance.
The flexible Preamplifier section provides connec-
tions for various input sources and may also be used to
drive an external Power Amplifier(s).
The MAC6700 tuner circuitry delivers the same
exceptional performance as a stand-alone McIntosh
Tuner. The MA6700 has provisions for adding an
optional McIntosh AM/FM Tuner Module. The Tuner
Module can be installed by your McIntosh Service
Dealer at any time, usually while you wait.
The MA/MAC6700 reproduction is sonically
transparent and absolutely accurate. The McIntosh
Sound is “The Sound of the Music Itself.”
Introduction
Amplifier Performance Features
• Power Output with Patented Autoformer
The MA/MAC6700 consists of a 200 watts per chan-
nel stereo Power Amplifier with less than 0.005%
distortion. The McIntosh designed and manufactured
Autoformer allows connection of 2, 4 or 8 ohm Loud-
speakers. The Power Amplifier uses ThermalTrak
1
Output Transistors for lower distortion and cool opera-
tion.
• Power Guard
The patented McIntosh Power Guard circuit prevents
amplifier clipping and protects your valuable Loud-
speakers.

• Sentry Monitor and Thermal Protection
McIntosh Sentry Monitor power output stage protec-
tion circuits ensure the MA/MAC6700 will have a
long and trouble free operating life. Built-in Thermal
Protection Circuits guard against overheating.
• Electronic Switching and Balanced Connections
The Preamplifier uses Logic Circuits controlling
Electromagnetic Switches on all inputs and operat-
ing functions for reliable, noiseless, distortion free
switching. There is a Balanced Input for connection of
source components.
• Digital Audio Inputs
The MA/MAC6700 has Coaxial, Optical and USB
Digital Inputs to Decode PCM Signals from an
external source. The MA/MAC6700 Up Samples the
Digital Signal to 192kHz with 32Bit resolution before
the Digital to Analog process begins.
• Moving Coil and Moving Magnet Phono Inputs
The MA/MAC6700 contains two different precision
Phono Preamplifier Circuits. One for low output Mov-
ing Coil Phono Cartridges with selectable resistance
loading, the other is for Moving Magnet Cartridges.
Both circuits use the latest designs to provide the
lowest possible noise and distortion. The RIAA Cor-
rection Equalization Circuitry utilizes close tolerance
resistors and capacitors for an extremely flat frequen-
cy response.
• Multifunction Fluorescent Display
The Front Panel Display indicates source selection,
volume levels, tone adjustments and setup functions.
• Illuminated Power Meters
The Illuminated Power Output Watt Meters on the
MA/MAC6700 are peak responding, and indicate the
power output of the amplifier.
• PassThru Mode
The Automatic PassThru Mode allows the MA/
MAC6700 to become part of a Multichannel Sound
System for DVD-Audio, SACD and Home Theater
Movies.
• Power Control and Remote Control
The Power Control Output connection provides conve-
nient Turn-On/Off of McIntosh Source Components.
The Data Ports together with the supplied Remote
Control provide control of McIntosh Source Compo-
nents connected to the MA/MAC6700.
• Special Power Supply
The large Power Transformer, multiple filter capaci-
tors with 120 Joules of Energy Storage and regulated
Power Supply ensures stable noise free operation even
though the power line varies.
• McIntosh Custom Binding Posts
McIntosh Patented gold plated output terminals deliver
high current output. They accept large diameter wire
and spade lugs. Banana plugs may also be used only in
the United States and Canada.
• Fiber Optic Solid State Front Panel Illumination
The even Illumination of the Front Panel is accom-
plished by the combination of custom designed Fiber
Optic Light Diffusers and extra long life Light Emit-
ting Diodes (LEDs). The glass Front Panel ensures the
pristine beauty of the MA/MAC6700 will be retained
for many years.
