MC2 Audio has introduced the S Series, a new range of power amplifiers designed for studio monitoring and other applications.
The S Series is the culmination of years of work undertaken by MC2 Audio technical director and co-owner Terry Clarke in developing linear power amplifier technology.
“Our first amplifier range came very close to being the best and we won many plaudits from different market sectors, however the new S Series has taken the audio quality to another level,” Clarke says.
The S Series utilizes MC2 Audio’s AB bipolar output stages, combined with the company’s proprietary current driven floating drive stage. Analog level controls are provided for ease of use and resultant minimal signal degradation.
Sophisticated “side-chain” limiters prevent loudspeaker damage and distortion. These stay out-of-circuit until the onset of clipping so do not compromise the signal path under normal working conditions.
The S Series comprises two models: the S800 and S1400, both of which are outfitted with high-fidelity shielded toroidal power supplies and intelligently controlled, low-noise fans. This combination ensures optimum conditions for the output stages.
Weighing in at 42.5 pounds, the S800 runs 8-ohm loads at 475 watts and 4-ohm loads at 950 watts.
The S1400 weighs 51.4 pounds, producing 775 watts at 8 ohms and 1500 watts at 4 ohms.
Group sales and marketing director Bill Woods adds, “The S Series is a very welcome addition to our range. Our unique position held in live, installed and the more challenging recording studio market is testimony to MC2 Audio’s belief that superb audio quality remains as important to our customers as it does to us.”
All S Series are covered by MC2 Audio’s five-year warranty.
