Toroidal isolation transformer
Fast-acting surge suppression module
Connect up to 12 components
Today's AC power lines are littered with the by-products of countless noise-inducing devices. The McIntosh MPC1500 power controller can protect your audio components against this noise as well as against power surges. With the MPC1500 you can supply your own audio system with clean, consistent power so it delivers the best possible sonic performance. At the heart of the MPC1500 is a large but quiet toroidal isolation transformer that is specially wound to act as a low-pass filter to remove unwanted noise from the AC line. The MPC1500 also uses a fast-acting surge suppression module that activates when the voltage reaches about 2V above rated operating levels. This excess voltage is released slowly and harmlessly to the circuit's neutral wire rather than to the earth wire, where it could still find its way to your audio components and cause damage.
Unlike surge protection equipment that uses other suppression methods, or power conditioners, the MPC1500's suppression module is non-sacrificial and does not need to be replaced after a surge event.
The MPC1500 comes with six high-quality Type F1 (a.k.a. CEE 7/3 or Schuko) single outlets. Two of the outlets are always active when the MPC1500 is connected. The operation of the other 4 outlets can be configured to your preference via the Power Control switches on the rear panel. LED indicators on the front and back show the current usage status of each outlet. The blue watt meters on the front have been repurposed to show the real-time incoming voltage and the actual current draw of the connected devices. The meters are scaled to the appropriate current and voltage. The MPC1500 has McIntosh's timeless front panel with black glass and blue meters, an illuminated logo, control knobs and aluminium controls.
