The MC2 Audio T1500 is a 2-channel power amplifier delivering 575 watts per channel into 8 ohms in stereo mode and up to 2050 watts into 8 ohms in mono (bridged) mode. It features MC2 Audio's complementary Class AB bipolar topology and a unique current driven floating drive stage, ensuring clean sound and high reliability. The amplifier includes conventional analogue level controls, proprietary control and protection circuitry that monitors for faults such as shorted outputs, DC on outputs, excessive temperature, and component failure, disconnecting outputs to prevent damage. It also has sophisticated side chain limiters to prevent distortion and speaker damage, which activate only at clipping onset. Low noise vari-speed fans minimize mechanical noise, making it suitable for live theatre and installation use. The T1500 supports speaker loads down to 2 ohms and has a frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz with total harmonic distortion below 0.03%. It has a gain of 32 dB, input sensitivity of 1.2V, a damping factor of 400, and a signal-to-noise ratio of 105 dB. The amplifier measures 482 x 88 x 428 mm and weighs 17.7 kg. It is designed for 240V AC mains supply and comes with optional internal crossover cards. The product is covered by a 2-year warranty and is no longer listed as discontinued.
