Technical Description
MC2301 Design
The design philosophy incorporated in the MC2301 in-
volved several different techniques, all based on sound sci-
entific logic. Every stage of voltage amplification must be
as linear as possible prior to the use of negative feedback.
McIntosh engineers know how to properly design negative
feedback circuits so they contribute to the low distortion
performance expected from a McIntosh amplifier. Refer to
figure 12. The typical McIntosh owner would never accept
the approximately 25 times higher distortion of many non-
