The MCH-300SE and MCH-300 offer a power reserve of 1200 watts; in effect, any of seven channels can be driven up to 300 watts into 4 ohms so long as total power requirements do not exceed 1200 watts.
Idle Power Consumption: 33W with all channels switched off (2x500W SMPS power on). 15W per channel when each channel.
How do the MCH-300SE and Ref 9V3SE differ?
Briefly, the Ref 9V3SE has its own dedicated SMPS and uses top-of-the-line connectors and wires. All signal wires (in and out) are soldered. The Ref 9V3SE is for audiophiles who seek the highest level of pure, unadulterated performance from their audio systems. MCH-300SE offers near-SE-class performance with ease- of-service benefits. For example, all the modules can be replaced without soldering. The MCH-300SE has a dual SMPS shared by 7 channels (Industry MCH power formula for power per channel = total power / (2P + 5 x P/4)
Based on technology we developed for our Reference 9V3 SE (Special Edition) amplifier, the MCH-300SE stands as the perfect marriage of home theater and music. As an example of convenience, a wand remote, first introduced with our P-9 preamp, allows the user to switch off the unit’s home-theater channels in order to optimize two-channel listening. Among the MCH-300SE’s invaluable features is a program that performs a diagnostic drill every time the unit is powered up.
