MC2 Audio Launches E100 Amplifier

British manufacturer MC² Audio has announced that its highly anticipated E100 amplifier is now shipping. The remarkably compact 4-channel amplifier is the flagship of the company’s highly successful E series. The official launch marks not only the company’s most powerful four-channel amplifier, but also the first 4 channel proprietary class-D switchmode amplifier to be developed by MC², which is based in Honiton, Devon, UK. Various proprietary technologies have been utilised in the design. These include a Hybrid Dual Loop Feedback system (HDLF) for load independent, accurate audio reproduction, a high performance Active Energy Steering Circuit (AESC), custom drive circuitry and magnetic components to ensure highly efficient, high power, low impedance operation without compromise. Right from the outset, the E100 was designed to run 2-ohm loads, thus giving huge power in excess of 3,500W from each of the four channels. This gives the amplifier further flexibility for running bass applications and allows bridging of a pair of channels down to 4 ohms. As such, bridging a pair of channels via the rear panel switches turns the E100 into a very powerful bass amplifier offering 7,400W at 4 ohms and over 5,300W into 8 ohms. Outstanding distortion and noise figures are quoted right up to maximum output. In order to achieve high sonic quality, full range, from a class-D amplifier, MC² developed a unique Hybrid Dual Loop Feedback system (HDLF). This corrects errors generated in the switching amplifier stages and the output reconstruction filters, minimising distortion and maximising Signal To Noise ratio. As such, this also ensures the E100 will faithfully reproduce audio signals – completely load independent. In addition, the HDLF is part of MC²’s unique Class-D modulator technology. Each section of the Modulator and Feedback circuit’s design is carefully analysed to ensure that minimal errors are introduced into the audio signal chain. As part of the extensive R&D process, MC² (mc2-audio.co.uk) also spent several months studying and modelling individual components and the behaviour of the switching circuitry employed. The results of this work included a high performance Active Energy Steering Circuit (AESC), custom drive circuitry and magnetic components.

The circuit is a fully discrete Class A design, with no op-amps in the audio path, so it's built like a small high-end power amp. The HPA has two inputs--line and USB--and there's a variable output, so the HPA can be used as a stereo preamplifier in a

Audio Video Distribution Amplifier circuit

With the amount of equipment in home entertainment facilities today the need to be able to fluctuate the gain of the audio and also video signal is needed. I observed this specific circuit very helpful while used in conjunction with the General Descrambler and also a Stabilizer circuit I built for making duplicates of video tapes. This not just allowed myself the ability to fine tune the video durability it also helped me improve the recorded audio which typically will become bad when creating tape copies.
