    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.
  • Page 15: Technical Description

    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.
  • Page 16 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.
  • Page 17: Protection Circuits

    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.
