Technical Description
McIntosh Laboratory, the company who introduced the
world’s first amplifier that could be called “High Fidelity”,
has done it again. The McIntosh engineering staff has cre-
ated a power amplifier without compromise, using the most
advanced McIntosh circuit design concepts.
A continuous average power output rating of 600 watts
and with an output current of greater than 150 amperes per
channel, makes this not only the most advanced, but also
the most powerful amplifier McIntosh has ever manufac-

tured. The distortion limits for the MC602 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
MC602 are so low, it takes special measuring techniques to
make accurate readings. The MC602 can deliver the best
possible performance from any type of high quality loud-
speaker system.
Creating an amplifier with this level of performance did
