Frequently Asked Questions

What is the power output of the MC451?

The vacuum tube section provides 150 watts to drive mid ranges and tweeters, while the solid state section provides 300 watts dedicated to driving woofers.

Do I need to remove anything before powering on the MC451 for the first time?

Yes, a foam insert surrounding the vacuum tubes must be removed before connecting AC power. Failure to remove it is a fire hazard and can damage the unit and surrounding environment.

How should I connect a loudspeaker to the MC451?

The MC451 is designed for two separate connections to a single loudspeaker: the solid state amplifier output terminals connect to the low frequency terminals, and the vacuum tube amplifier connects to the mid/high terminals. Any jumpers between the low and mid/high terminals on the loudspeaker must be removed.

What does the MONO vs SEPARATE amplifier mode switch do?

MONO sends the signal from a single preamplifier to both the solid state and vacuum tube amplifiers, with frequency range tailored by the internal crossover. SEPARATE is useful for an external crossover or for feeding full-range signals to two separate loudspeakers from a single MC451.

What does it mean if the Standby LED flashes?

A flashing Standby LED indicates a fault in the MC451's main power supply, causing it to power off. To reset, turn the POWER control knob to OFF, wait one minute, then turn it to ON. If the fault continues, the unit should be serviced.

What wire gauge should I use for loudspeaker cables?

The recommended gauge depends on impedance and cable distance: for example, at 8 ohms use 16AWG up to 25 feet, 14AWG up to 50 feet, or 12AWG up to 100 feet; at 4 ohms use 14AWG, 12AWG, or 10AWG respectively; at 2 ohms use 12AWG, 10AWG, or 8AWG respectively.

With the MC451, the tubes will not be challenged or overloaded by low-end reproduction because the solid state section has 300 watts dedicated to driving the woofers. Fine tuning your system is made simple with the built-in crossover. This allows you to match the crossover point to your loudspeakers and maximize the power available to each section. Alternatively, you can connect a direct feed to each amplifier section and bypass the crossover. This is perfect if you have crossovers external to the MC451. The solid state amplifier features Power Guard ® for clipping protection, Sentry Monitor™ for over current protection, and ThermalTrak 1 output transistors for stable bias and temperature control. The output Autoformer™ provides the full 300W of power regardless of loudspeaker impedance and provides DC protection to the outputs. The vacuum tube amplifier features Power Guard SGS ® for output tube protection and Sentry Monitor™ for over current protection. The Unity Coupled Output Transformer™ provides the full 150W of power regardless of loudspeaker imped- ance and provides DC protection to the outputs. Copyright 2022 © by McIntosh Laboratory, Inc.

MC451 UNPACK PG1.ai MC451 UNPACK PG1.ai 5 Connector Information XLR Connectors When connecting loudspeaker cables to the MC451 output terminals follow the steps below: 1 � Make sure AC power is disconnected � 2. Rotate the top of the output terminal counter- clockwise until an opening appears. Opening Loudspeaker Connections The MC451 is designed for two separate connec- tions to a single loudspeaker. The solid state amplifier output terminals should be connected to the low frequency terminals of your loudspeaker. The vacuum tube amplifier should be connected to the mid/high terminals of your loudspeaker. Any jumpers between the low and mid/high terminals on the loudspeaker must be removed � Refer to the Connection Diagram on pages 10-11 for additional information. Loudspeaker Impedance Each amplifier has a 2 ohm, 4 ohm, 8 ohm and COM output terminal. Based on the specifications of your loudspeaker, determine the best impedance to use for each connection. It is a safe bet to use the lower impedance output terminals for a speaker whose impedance falls between two choices. Loudspeaker Cables When connecting loudspeakers to the MC451 it is very important to use cables of adequate size. The size is specified in AWG (American Wire Gauge). The smaller the gauge number, the larger the wire size. Loudspeaker Cable Wire Gauge Guide Loudspeaker Impedance Cable Distance 25 feet (7.62 meters) or less 50 feet (15.24 meters) or less 100 feet (30.48 meters) or less 2 ohms 12AWG 10AWG 8AWG 4 ohms 14AWG 12AWG 10AWG 8 ohms 16AWG 14AWG 12AWG Connecting a Loudspeaker 3. Insert the loudspeaker cable into the output terminal. Proper polarity must be maintained for all connections � (+/-) 4. Rotate the top of the output terminal clock- wise until it is finger tight. 5. Place the McIntosh wrench over the top of the output terminal and rotate it one quarter of a turn (90°). Do not over tighten � Meter/Tube Illumination Control Power Control Ground Signal Ground RCA Connectors Power Control Connectors Output Terminals PIN 1 3 (+) Signal Ground (-) Signal 2 1 3 3/10 in 7.6 mm 11 / 64 in 4.4 mm Ø 6 1 � METER Control Knob • LIGHTS OFF- the meter and tube lights will be off but the dual meter will still respond to output. • WATTS - the meter responds to all output. • HOLD - the dual meter needles will hold the highest peak until a higher peak is reached. If no higher peak is reached, the needles will lower their levels at a rate of approximately 6dB per minute. Note: When in the WATTS or HOLD position, the meter and tube lights will be powered On or Off by a preamplifier or A/V control center connected by a power control cable if that unit has power control capabilities. 2 � Dual Power Output Meter Shows both the vacuum tube and solid state amplifiers’ power output. The vacuum tube scale is displayed on the top and indicated by the longer needle. The solid state scale is on the bottom and indicated by the shorter needle. 3 � Standby LED Indicates that the MC451 is connected to AC power and ready to be turned on via the front panel knob or rear panel power control. In the unlikely event of a fault in the MC451’s main power supply, the MC451 will power off and the standby LED will flash. To reset the MC451 should this occur, turn the POWER control knob to OFF, wait one minute, then turn the POWER control knob to ON. If a fault contin - ues to occur, the MC451 should be serviced. 4 � POWER GUARD SGS ® (Screen Grid Sensor) LED Indicates when Power Guard SGS is engaged for the vacuum tube amplifier. Also indicates vacuum tube warm up. Power Guard SGS monitors the screen grid current in the KT88 output vacuum tubes. If the current becomes too high, a circuit in Power Guard SGS is activated which then dynamically attenuates the input signal in real time to keep the vacuum tubes operating at safe levels. 5 � POWER GUARD ® LED Indicates when Power Guard is engaged for the solid state amplifier. Also indicates heatsink over temperature. Power Guard monitors and adjusts the input signal in the solid state amplifier section in real time, then makes unobtrusive adjustments to prevent distortion and potential speaker damage. 6 � POWER Control Knob • OFF- the MC451 will be powered off regardless of any power control connection. • REMOTE- the MC451 can be powered on and off by a preamplifier or A/V control center connected by a power control cable. • ON- the MC451 will be powered on regardless of any power control connection. 7 � Vacuum Tube Input Stage V1, V2 - 12AT7 McIntosh Part No.165078 V3 - 12AX7A McIntosh Part No.165080 Sentry Monitor™ provides protection by monitoring current in the output transformer. In the event of a large impedance mismatch, a short circuit at the output terminals or tube failure, Sentry Monitor will activate to prevent potentially destructive levels of current from flowing. When Sentry Monitor is activated, the MC451 will power off, and the three input stage tubes will flash red. To reset the Sentry Monitor protection circuitry, turn the POWER control knob to OFF. Wait one minute and then turn the POWER control knob to ON. If Sentry Monitor continues to engage, the problem must be fixed before continuing. 8 � Vacuum Tube Output Stage V4, V5, V6, V7 - KT88 McIntosh Part No.165073 Note: Because of the high voltage involved with all vacuum tubes, they should only be replaced by an authorized McIntosh dealer or service agency. Front Panel Displays and Knobs 7 Front Panel Displays and Knobs 8 Rear Panel Connections and Switches 1 � Input Mode To select the BALANCED or UNBALANCED connection, use the INPUT MODE switch to toggle between these two options. Each input section can accept a male balanced XLR cable or a male unbalanced RCA cable. All inputs must use the same type of connection (BALANCED or UNBALANCED). Refer to page 5, Connector Information . 2 � Amplifier Mode MONO is the common choice for most applications of the MC451. The signal from a single preamplifier will be sent to both the solid state and vacuum tube amplifiers with the frequency range tailored by the crossover to match the attached loudspeaker. SEPARATE can be useful for situations where an external crossover is used. SEPARATE can also be used for feeding full-range signals to two separate loudspeakers from a single MC451. Note: If you need to switch the INPUT or AMPLIFIER MODE, it is best to do so when the MC451 is powered off to avoid any unpleasant noise from the loudspeakers. 3 � Vacuum Tube Input With the AMPLIFIER MODE switch set to MONO, the input is disabled. With the AMPLIFIER MODE switch set to SEPARATE , this input sends a full range input signal to the vacuum tube amplifier. 4 � Mono / Solid State Input With the AMPLIFIER MODE switch set to MONO, the input signal is sent to the internal crossover. The crossover then sends signals to each amplifier section based on the crossover settings. With the AMPLIFIER MODE switch set to SEPARATE , this input sends a full range input signal to the solid state amplifier. 5 � Crossover Refer to page 12, Setting Up the Crossover for additional information. 6 � Power Control Power control allows the MC451 to send and receive control signals when connected to other McIntosh products. In this way, powering on or powering off a single component can do the same for multiple units. POWER CONTROL IN accepts an On/Off signal from +5 to +12 volts. Meter and tube lights can be controlled as well. POWER CONTROL OUT will provide a +12 volt signal with a total current up to 25 mA. Connections are made using an 1/8 inch stereo mini phone plug. Refer to page 5, Connector Information . 7 � Auto Off Function The MC451 incorporates power saving circuitry to automatically activate the power saving standby mode. The MC451 will turn off after approximately 30 minutes of no audio signal in both amplifiers when the AUTO OFF switch is set to ENABLED. If the AUTO OFF switch is set to DISABLED, the MC451 will remain on regardless of the presence of any audio signal. When there is a power control connection between the MC451 and a preamplifier or source component, the AUTO OFF function is disabled regardless of switch position. 8 � Vacuum Tube Outputs Refer to page 5, Connecting a Loudspeaker for additional information. 9 � Solid State Outputs Refer to page 5, Connecting a Loudspeaker for additional information. 10 � AC Input Connect the MC451 power cord to a live AC outlet. Refer to the rear panel for voltage and current requirements. 11 � Fuse Under normal operating conditions the fuse should not need to be replaced. If required, refer to the rear panel for proper fuse type. 9 SERIAL NUMBER CAUTION RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN M C 4 5 1 D U A L M O N O P O W E R A M P L I F I E R McINTOSH LABORATORY, INC., BINGHAMTON, NY HANDCRAFTED IN USA WITH US AND IMPORTED PARTS + + + - 8 Ω 4 Ω 2 Ω COM - COM + + 4 Ω 8 Ω + 2 Ω SOLID STATE (300W) OUTPUTS CLASS 2 WIRING VACUUM TUBE (150W) OUTPUTS CLASS 2 WIRING POWER CONTROL OUT IN AUTO OFF ENABLED DISABLED CROSSOVER (MONO MODE) VACUUM TUBE INPUT INPUT MODE BALANCED UNBALANCED BAL UNBAL MONO SOLID STATE / INPUT AMPLIFIER MODE MONO SEPARATE BAL UNBAL 300 250 400 550 180 130 800 1k 100 CROSSOVER POINT Hz +1.2 -3 +3 -6 0 VACUUM TUBE LEVEL dB Rear Panel Connections and Switches 10 SERIAL NUMBER CAUTION RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN M C 4 5 1 D U A L M O N O P O W E R A M P L I F I E R McINTOSH LABORATORY, INC., BINGHAMTON, NY HANDCRAFTED IN USA WITH US AND IMPORTED PARTS + + + - 8 Ω 4 Ω 2 Ω COM - COM + + 4 Ω 8 Ω + 2 Ω SOLID STATE (300W) OUTPUTS CLASS 2 WIRING VACUUM TUBE (150W) OUTPUTS CLASS 2 WIRING POWER CONTROL OUT IN AUTO OFF ENABLED DISABLED CROSSOVER (MONO MODE) VACUUM TUBE INPUT INPUT MODE BALANCED UNBALANCED BAL UNBAL MONO SOLID STATE / INPUT AMPLIFIER MODE MONO SEPARATE BAL UNBAL 300 250 400 550 180 130 800 1k 100 CROSSOVER POINT Hz +1.2 -3 +3 -6 0 VACUUM TUBE LEVEL dB HDMI (ARC) DA2 DIGITAL AUDIO MODULE USB AUDIO COAX 2 COAX 1 MCT OPTICAL 2 OPTICAL 1 DIGITAL AUDIO INPUTS SERIAL NUMBER POWER CONTROL MAIN TRIG 1 TRIG 3 PASSTHRU TRIG 2 TRIG 4 120V 50/60Hz 30 WATTS IR IN RS232 EXTERNAL CONTROL DATA PORTS 5 3 1 6 4 2 SERVICE PORT MC GND L R 1R BAL R MAIN OUTPUT BAL L BAL R BAL L L R OUTPUT 1 BAL R BAL L L R OUTPUT 2 SERIAL NUMBER 1L 2R 2L 3R 3L L R FIXED OUTPUT BALANCED INPUTS 1 4 2 3 MM L R UNBALANCED INPUTS PHONO INPUTS CAUTION RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN UNBAL UNBAL UNBAL Connection to AC Power should be the LAST connection made Right Loudspeaker System Audio Preamplifier LOW MID / HIGH LOW MID / HIGH Connection Diagram 11 SERIAL NUMBER CAUTION RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN M C 4 5 1 D U A L M O N O P O W E R A M P L I F I E R McINTOSH LABORATORY, INC., BINGHAMTON, NY HANDCRAFTED IN USA WITH US AND IMPORTED PARTS + + + - 8 Ω 4 Ω 2 Ω COM - COM + + 4 Ω 8 Ω + 2 Ω SOLID STATE (300W) OUTPUTS CLASS 2 WIRING VACUUM TUBE (150W) OUTPUTS CLASS 2 WIRING POWER CONTROL OUT IN AUTO OFF ENABLED DISABLED CROSSOVER (MONO MODE) VACUUM TUBE INPUT INPUT MODE BALANCED UNBALANCED BAL UNBAL MONO SOLID STATE / INPUT AMPLIFIER MODE MONO SEPARATE BAL UNBAL 300 250 400 550 180 130 800 1k 100 CROSSOVER POINT Hz +1.2 -3 +3 -6 0 VACUUM TUBE LEVEL dB LOW MID / HIGH LOW MID / HIGH Left Loudspeaker System LOW MID / HIGH Any jumpers between the low and mid/high sections of the loudspeakers MUST be removed prior to connecting the MC451.
