The amplifier features a large capacitor bank in the power supply, suggesting a need for a variac for safe startup.
The MB-300 has test points and a trimmer for bias adjustment, with some models potentially offering internal biasing procedures.
Early versions of the MB-300 had a switch and meter on the front panel for bias adjustment, while later Signature models might have an internal adjustment.
The MB-300 was later updated to the MB-450 Signature model, with cosmetic changes and an additional power supply for the driver stage, while maintaining the same power output.
