Using a Separate Power Amplifier There are two different ways to use a separate power am- plifier with a MA7000. The first way is to use the separate amplifier instead of the MA7000 built-in Power Amplifier. Connect the Loudspeakers to the separate power amplifier and remove the McIntosh Jumpers that are located between the OUTPUTS 1 Jacks and the POWER AMP INput Jacks.
Integrated Ampli- fier McIntosh has ever manufactured. The distortion limits for the MA7000 are no more than 0.005% at rated power output for all frequencies from 20Hz to 20,000Hz. Typical performance at mid frequencies is less than 0.002%. The true distortion readings on the MA7000 are so low, it takes special measuring techniques to make accurate readings.

All inputs, outputs, and data ports are controlled by logic circuits in the MA7000. The logic is changed by front panel push-buttons or by a microprocessor IR de- coder. This microprocessor IR decoder is programmed with exclusive McIntosh software.
The different types of protec- tion circuits incorporated in the MA7000 insure a long and safe operating life. The MA7000 also includes the unique patented McIn- tosh Power Guard circuit. Power Guard eliminates the pos- sibility of ever overdriving the ampli- fier into clipping.
