At its core is a large, quiet toroidal isolation transformer specially wound to act as a low-pass filter, reducing unwanted noise carried on the AC line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA quick-acting surge suppression module activates when voltage reaches approximately 2 V above nominal operating levels. Excess voltage is released to the circuit's neutral wire rather than the ground wire, helping prevent unwanted energy from reaching connected components. The suppression module is non-sacrificial and does not require replacement following a surge event.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MPC1500 is available with six Type B medical-grade duplex receptacles or six Type F single receptacles. Two receptacles remain continuously active, while the other four can be configured through rear-panel Power Control switches. Front- and rear-panel LED indicators show the operating status of each receptacle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo McIntosh blue meters provide real-time monitoring of incoming AC voltage and the current drawn by connected equipment. The MPC1500 also features the traditional McIntosh black glass front panel, illuminated logo, control knobs, and aluminum end caps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecially wound toroidal isolation transformer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAC line noise filtering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuick-acting, non-sacrificial surge suppression module\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUp to 12 connected components with Type B receptacles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo always-on receptacles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour programmable receptacles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMcIntosh Power Control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront- and rear-panel receptacle status indicators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnalog voltage and current meters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitchable meter illumination\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLoad Regulation:\u003c\/b\u003e ±2.5%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOutput Voltage:\u003c\/b\u003e Type B: 120 V AC nominal (100 V AC nominal for Japan); Type F: 230 V AC nominal\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePower Requirement:\u003c\/b\u003e Type B: 120 V, 60 Hz, 12 A max., 1,440 W max.
