Designed to improve theperformance of home entertainment systems, the MPC1500 providessuperior isolation from AC line interference, low noise, andmaximum power transfer to enable the best performance possible fromintegrated McIntosh components as well as third-party components.The MPC1500 works by removing performance-degrading AC linenoise, thus maximizing the operating efficiency of all connectedcomponents.

Noted McIntosh President, Charlie Randall: Todays AC poweruniverse is littered with byproducts from the operation of millionsof personal computers, satellite set-top boxes and myriad othernoise-inducing devices. By employing a large torroidal transformerthats been specially wound to act as a low pass filter to removeunwanted harmonic noise on the incoming AC line as well as noisefrom electric motors, lighting dimmers, and other sources ofinterference found in the home, the MPC1500 can significantlyimprove the performance of your home entertainment system.

Notably, the MPC1500 transformer emits no audible noise of its own.Additionally, a quick-acting surge suppression circuit features aclamping voltage onset of about 2V above peak nominal voltage forthe best possible product protection. The MPC1500 featuresMcIntoshs trademark illuminated glass front panel, with two customblue eyes meters for instant recognition of current and voltage.Six medical-grade duplex outlets allow for the connection of up to12 separate components. Total current draw for all components is1,350 Watts, 11.2 Amps, and total current is available through anysingle duplex outlet. Outlets may be configured to operateuniformly or in a combination of modes for unmatched flexibility:ON (outlets) powered on even when the MPC1500 is powered off,GLOBAL (outlets are switched on in groups via Power Control orfront panel), or LOCAL (outlets are switched on individually viaPower Control). Three 12V trigger outputs are included for easyinterface of third party components.
