MC 811 Balanced Mono Amplifier with Alpha and Beta drive technology

We are very proud to announce our first REFERENCE Line product- the MC 811 Monoblock Power Amplifier. This is an amplifier for the most selective audiophiles who seek a breathtaking listening experience coupled with a unique, elegant and timeless physical appearance that will be at home in the most stylish environments. The MC 811’s electronic design pushes the edge of amplifier architecture, delivering the latest in innovative engineering, exceptional sonic performance and German-built craftsmanship. It delivers in excess of 300 watts at 8 ohms with extremely high current reserves capable of driving the most demanding loudspeaker loads. A solid-state, fully balanced design, the 811 employs our unique user-selectable “Alpha & Beta Drive” technology, allowing the owner to tailor the voicing of the amplifier to insure maximum system symmetry. High-speed output transistors are mounted on a special, two-stage heat sink construction, utilizing a compact heat bar for the first stage to equalize the heat transfer of the power transistors and virtually eliminate thermal distortion. The second stage uses a large-surface heat sink that insures that the amplifier operates at the ideal temperature. For ultimate sonic performance, the MC 811 utilizes “through hole” component mount circuit boards which offer a far better electrical contact and lower distortion than the more common and less expensive surface mount method employed in many audio components today. DC-coupled from input to output, there are no capacitors in the signal path.

MC 331 High Definition Reference 3-way Tower Monitor Speaker

The first LOUDSPEAKER in our Reference line of components, the new MC 331 is a 3-way, 4 ohm floor standing speaker consisting of two stacked enclosure cabinets- woofer and midrange/high end. This separation provides complete stability in the low-end range, while insuring clear and undistorted sound in the upper range that maintains absolute fidelity to the music’s original sound field. The two woofers in the MC 331 are equipped with very stiff 200mm aluminum membranes, permitting extremely quick and highly precise response to bass impulses. Because there are two woofers, the effective driver area is doubled, achieving bass reproduction that is very fast, powerful and deep. As a result, the MC 331 produces a tight, highly-extended, stress-free bottom end that practically lives in the room. Our custom made, 170mm midrange driver is constructed from a Kevlar membrane, renowned for its light weight and exceptional rigidity, producing an extremely precise and fast response. Compression effects due to the sound components radiated backwards by the driver are avoided by the unique construction, allowing the finest musical nuances to be reproduced in a dynamic and accurate manner in the critical midrange. The employment of the Kevlar membrane material allows MC to use this driver up to the optimal crossover frequency for the tweeter. Our 28mm dome tweeter, unique in its characteristics and mechanical construction, reproduces the high frequency range above 2,500 Hz, far from its low-end cutoff. This extraordinary transducer is capable of being operated across a frequency range of 450 Hz to 27 kHz with a linearity of +/- 0.5 db! This is made possible due to a superior construction that avoids compression under the dome and that employs a large copper-plated area of the magnet, absorbing driver-generated heat, and eliminating the need for Ferro fluid as a cooling medium. The moving coil can now respond to the most minute current impulses and respond immediately into movement. Our crossover is a totally new design, using only the finest components, including air coil inductors and metal oxide resistors. The crossover for the mid range/high frequencies is housed separately from the low end, avoiding distortion due to interaction with low end resonance. Bi-wire speaker cable terminals also insure the best performance due to further elimination of interaction and interference between the mid/high frequency and the bass ranges.
