Description
The MCA 325 GEN 2 is a 3-channel power amplifier, crafted in Canada to match the AVM 60 processor and MRX receivers. It's completely redesigned for lower THD and noise, delivering 225W across 3 channels with a shared dual power supply, custom low-noise toroidal transformer, and next-generation Advanced Load Monitoring (ALM) technology.
Features
- Delivers lower THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) for cleaner, purer sound and lower noise
- Completely redesigned for improved audio performance and reliability
- Higher current output for lower distortion
- Cosmetic match for AVM 60 A/V pre-amplifier/processor
- Improved Advanced Load Monitoring (ALM) system, not in the signal path, with front panel status LED
- 8 bipolar output devices per channel for less stress on each device
- Custom low-noise, high-power toroidal transformer with high rail voltages
- Shared dual power supply across all channels for instant full bursts of power without affecting channel separation
- Custom-designed, oversized audiophile binding posts
- 3 on/off modes: trigger, manual, auto sensing
- Less than 2 watts standby power consumption
- Crafted in Canada
