Unlike linear amplifiers, which, even at idle, consume a great deal of power, the power-conservative Nuforce MCH Series provides instantaneous clout when and where it’s required. The MCH-3 SE and MCH-3 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. The MCH-2’s 600-watt total operates as a 200-watt-per-channel stereo amplifier with full home-theater capability.

All models in the MCH Series feature XLR inputs along with RCA inputs which can be individually trimmed for precise channel matching as well as proprietary five-way binding posts with extremely low insertion loss.

The new world class multichannel amp from Nuforce. Very compact, light weight, energy efficient, and super high performance.
NuForce’s MCH Home-Theater Series defines state-of-the-art multi-channel analog switching amplifiers. You will be astonished by the power these low-profile (3.5-inch tall) components deliver: explosive dynamics and superb bass control for surround-sound home theater, and for two-channel listening, the rich, exquisitely detailed sound that has earned NuForce its enviable reputation among audiophiles and reviewers.

Based on technology we developed for our Reference 9 SE (Special Edition) amplifier, the MCH-3 SE 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 3 SE’s invaluable features is a program that performs a diagnostic drill every time the unit is powered up.

Differences between the Nuforce MCH-3SE and Ref 9V2SE:
Very briefly, the Ref 9V2SE has its own dedicated SMPS (Switch Mode Power Supply) and uses top of the line connectors and wiring. All of the signal wires (in and out) are soldered in place. The Ref 9V2SE is for the audiophile who seeks pure and raw performance. MCH-3SE offers near SE class performance with ease of service (all the modules can be replaced without soldering). MCH-3SE has a dual SMPS shared by all 7 channels.When operating in 2 channel mode, using 2 amp modules, you can achieve 95% of the performance of the Ref 9V2SE.
