Introduction

Power Control Connectors

The MPC1500 Global Power Control Input and Local

Power Control Inputs receive On/Off signals from +5

to +12 volts. The Global Power Control Output will

provide a +12 volt Output Signal with a current up to

20mA. The Local Power Con-

trol Outputs will in turn provide

from +5 to +12 volt Output Sig-

nal (Input Signal Dependent).

The Global Power Control Input

has an additional connection for

controlling the illumination of the MPC1500 Voltage

and Current Output Meters. The 1/8 inch stereo mini

phone plug connects to a McIntosh Component Power

Control Output.

Note: The Power Control Connecting Cable is available

from the McIntosh Parts Department:

Data and Power Control Cable Part No. 170-202

Six foot, shielded 2 conductor, with 1/8 inch stereo

mini phone plugs on each end.

Now you can add to your system the advantage of

traditional McIntosh standards of excellence in the

MPC1500 Power Controller. It offers full transformer

isolation from the incoming AC Line for the compo-

nents connected to it. The MPC1500 helps to assure

the sound and video reproduction from your McIntosh

System is the best it can be, totally transparent and

absolutely accurate.

• Toroidal Isolation Power Transformer

The very large Toroidal Isolation Power Transformer

used in the MPC1500 occupies over three quarters

of the internal space in the chassis. It ensures stable

noise free operation for the audio/video components

connected to the MPC1500. It also isolates them from

potential interference produced from common house-

hold appliances that utilize motors, compressors and

electronic control devices.

• Stable Voltage

The MPC1500’s Large Isolation Power Transformer

minimizes variations in the voltage available to the

connected components as they draw more current, up

to the Amp rating on the Rear Panel.

• Lono Technology

The LONO

(Low Noise) Transformer Technology

from Plitron used in the MPC1500, eliminates audible

noise emanating from the Transformer and thus will

not distract from musical enjoyment, even with vary-

ing AC Line conditions.

• Superior Line Surge Protection

The McIntosh MPC1500 utilizes the finest, most

sophisticated surge suppression technology available.

Unlike most of the AC Line Surge protection devices

available, the MPC1500 doesn’t rely on commonly

used inexpensive MOV devices. The MOV’s can fail

after just one surge thus no longer providing protec-

tion and they can allow as much as 3 times the line

voltage through to the connected components allowing

substantial damage to occur. The MPC1500 incor-

porates Torus

Surge Suppression Circuitry, which

activates around 2V above peak nominal voltage

providing constant long term protection.

• Illuminated Voltage and Current Meters

The Illuminated Voltage and Current Meters indicate

at all times the voltage available to your McIntosh

Components and the actual current consumed by

them.

• Power Control

The Power Control Input connection provides conve-

nient Turn-On/Off of the McIntosh MPC1500 with

your McIntosh System.

• Extruded Side Panels

The sides of the MPC1500 are extruded aluminum

panels with a bead blast textured surface and a black

anodized finish.

• Fiber Optic Solid State Front Panel Illumination

The even Illumination of the Front Panel is accom-

plished by the combination of custom designed Fiber

Optic Light Diffusers and extra long life Light Emit-

ting Diodes (LEDs). The glass Front Panel ensures the

pristine beauty of the MPC1500 will be retained for

many years.
