McIntosh

The McIntosh MSA5500 stands out not only for its signature arrow indicators with recognizable backlighting, but can also deliver up to 100 W (class AB) per channel at 8 Ohms and 160 W at 4 Ohms load.

The model offers Spotify Connect and TIDAL Connect options along with Apple AirPlay, Roon Ready, Bluetooth 5.0 (AAC, and Qualcomm aptX HD), and Google Cast (Google Assistant compatible for voice control is also on board) – so you won’t need any additional apps to control the device.

The McIntosh MC462 uses the proprietary Quad Balanced circuit and Autoformer technology, its output power of 2 x 450 watts is absolutely load tolerant (the indicators do not change on any speakers with a resistance from 2 to 8 ohms). The dynamic range margin has been increased (the filter bandwidth has increased by one and a half times), the signal-to-noise ratio reaches 122 dB.

The amplifier received a triple chassis – the signal circuits are divided between the two upper blocks, while the third contains, in addition to the traditional blue arrow indicator, a set of outputs and outputs. One should not be surprised by the presence of three pairs of terminals for connecting acoustics – each of them is designed to select the resistance value that best suits the nominal impedance of acoustics: 2 ohms, 4 ohms or 8 ohms.

The McIntosh MC901 is the latest monoblock hybrid circuit amplifier. The novelty develops up to 900 watts, while combining amplification circuits: the lamp technology operates on midrange and lowrange (its power is 300 watts), and transistors are responsible for amplifying the lowrange.

The MC1.25KW is McIntosh's latest and one of the most advanced amplifiers. Redesigned from start to finish, it replaces the MC1.2KW model and becomes the most powerful monoblock single-body amplifier (the more powerful model is a double-body, it has a remote power supply). According to the manufacturer, a quick glance at the new MC1.25KW, which weighs an impressive 71.7 kg, is enough to feel its power.

The device replaced the previous generation MC601 model and is capable of delivering 600 watts, and for any load, be it 2, 4 or 8 ohms.

The device is equipped with a crossover, which facilitates the implementation of such a scheme – the frequency of the section can be selected from 100 Hz to 1 kHz. At the same time, separate inputs of the amplifier sections are also implemented, which allows the use of external crossovers.

The amplifier is equipped with a McIntosh Unity Coupled Circuit output transformer, which allows you to safely transfer 350 watts to any speaker. The amplifier has a fully balanced driver section, where 12AX7A and 12AT7 lamps are used. The output is equipped with EL509S lamps, which were chosen because of their similarity to the 6LQ6 lamps of the MC 3500 model.

The monoblock is capable of delivering up to 300 watts of undistorted power for an 8 ohm load and up to 480 watts for 4 ohms. The famous blue-illuminated Dual Scale arrow indicator is installed on the front panel. The output stage of the amplifier is controlled by the proprietary Power Guard circuit, which protects it from overloads. And the Sentry Monitor circuit protects the cascade from a short circuit at the output, and without using a fuse insert.

Like the MC302, which the MC312 replaced, it is a transistor stereo amplifier with a power of 300 watts per channel, which is an excellent choice for powering almost any speaker system. Thanks to the unique Autoformer technology, all 300 watts can be applied to almost any speaker, no matter what impedance they have 2, 4 or 8 ohms.

The McIntosh MC152 is a 150—watt amplifier that can work with speakers with 2, 4, and 8-inch integrated scanners. The device implements the Autoformer system, which ensures that each speaker receives full power regardless of resistance.

The MC2152 70th Anniversary Vacuum Tube Amplifier is a 150 Watt per channel stereo amplifier and features a striking new design to celebrate seven decades of handcrafting some of the best home audio equipment the world has ever heard. While its design is new, the MC2152 incorporates the lessons we’ve learned and the techniques we’ve invented in 70 years of audio engineering.

Technically, the device is based on the MC2152 anniversary model. This means using 12AX7A and 12AT7 lamps in the input and driver stages, as well as eight KT88 lamps at the output, four per channel. The novelty's power is 150 Watts per channel, and separate 2.4 and 8 ohm terminals are provided for connecting speakers with different nominal resistances.

The MC275 consists of two separate 75W power amplifier channels for 4, 8, or 16 ohm speakers. Two channels can be combined into one 150 watt channel for 2, 4, 8 ohm speakers.

The McIntosh MC303 audio amplifier has three channels and provides a 300 watt signal output for each channel. The device produces high-quality sound with a low level of interference and low noise, regardless of the overall actual volume. The device differs from other models by the presence of the Sentry Monitor function, which protects it from a short circuit. The meters constantly monitor the peak power level, and when it is exceeded, the device automatically turns off.

The McIntosh MC255 AV amplifier has five channels. The huge 15’ TripleView display with blue backlight looks very interesting, the circuitry has improved again. The best filters were used, the dynamic range was increased by 3.5 dB; the input power is 5 x 200 watts per 8 ohm load.

The device can develop a power of up to 250 watts for each of the seven channels, while the proprietary Dynamic Power Management scheme can redistribute power between channels depending on needs. Monogrammed Heatsinks shaped radiators allow you to do without noisy cooling fans.

The MC8207 is a 7-channel amplifier that was designed to work as part of a home theater. You can use all seven channels to sound the system in a large room, or five for movies and two for a pair of speakers in an adjacent room. The amplifier outputs 200 watts per channel for speakers with an impedance of 4 or 8 ohms.

The McIntosh MI502 dual-channel amplifier offers 500 watts per channel when operating on a load rated at 8 ohms or 800 watts at 4 ohms.

These amplifiers are connected to extremely reliable power supplies that deliver performance levels rarely achieved in distributed audio.

The McIntosh MI347 amplifier is equipped with a range of proprietary protection technologies, including an anti-overload Power Guard that protects speakers and a Sentry Monitor that protects against short circuits. The Power Control system allows you to synchronize the switching on and off of the amplifier and other McIntosh components, such as the MX100 processor. In addition, the McIntosh MI347 switch-on and off system is implemented based on the presence of a useful signal at one of the inputs.

The power of the device is 120 watts per channel, which allows for effective amplification for voicing an area of more than 100 square meters. With a resistance of 4 ohms, the power increases to 150 watts. The high efficiency of the amplifier made it possible to eliminate noisy active cooling, traditional radiators are enough to maintain a normal operating temperature even with many hours of operation.

This 12-channel amplifier, capable of delivering 50 watts per channel, has a pleasant appearance and can be mounted in a rack. The integrated cooling system eliminates the need to install noisy fans. The back panel has volume controls for each channel, four digital inputs, two optical and two coaxial. There are BUS connectors for connecting multiple amplifiers.

The device is based on pairs of dual triodes 12AT7 and 12BH7A. The first ones have an input stage, and the second ones work in the output, ensuring a minimum level of distortion. Branded output transformers use Unity Coupled Circuit technology, which guarantees crystal clear sound. Thanks to the use of this technology, the McIntosh MA 200 amplifier successfully copes with headphones of different resistance.

This is a special edition with the 75th anniversary logo, signed by McIntosh President Charlie Randall.

Inside, the MHA50 has a 32-bit DAC with data support up to 32/192 and DSD 256/384. The device uses the patented proprietary Headphone Crossfeed Director (HXD) technology, known for McIntosh High-End components.

The MC2KW monoblock power amplifier is designed to exceed all permissible limits of natural sound reproduction. The device is capable of delivering 2,000 watts of continuous power and 8,000 watts at peak. Impressive numbers, but this is just the beginning of the story. The MC2KW uses proprietary McIntosh Quad Balanced Circuitry, which, in the process of generating such power, actually suppresses all noise and distortion.

According to the developers, the C12000 McIntosh preamp is suitable for any speaker system. The main difference from other models of the manufacturer is the double chassis, divided into control and sound sections.

The C2800 tube preamp is a masterpiece of audio sophistication and engineering precision. Designed for discerning audiophiles and music lovers, performance is woven into the very fabric of this audio treasure. The C2800 has proudly earned the name McIntosh. The C2800 is based on a methodically designed circuit based on electronic lamps. Using the latest technology to eliminate noise and distortion, the C2800 reduces them to negligible levels. Its four electronic lights, or lamps, provide a listening experience that exceeds expectations.

There is no built-in DAC and wireless modules, but there is traditionally an excellent phono corrector for heads with a movable magnet and a movable coil (MM/MS), which allows you to adjust the capacitance and resistance values for different pickups. The device is built on one 12AT7 lamp and five 12AX7A lamps, which can be observed by looking at the device from above – all the vacuum elements are placed on the top panel.

It has a built-in universal phono corrector for pickup heads with a movable magnet and a movable coil, a headphone amplifier, and also provides the ability to install an optional DA2 digital module. The circuit is traditionally based on four 12AX7 triple triodes hidden in branded protective cages.

The McIntosh C55 preamp takes the best out of the C53 model, while taking the sound quality to a whole new level. The device is equipped with an 8-band analog equalizer to fine tune the music and create a personalized sound.

The device has 2 XLR, 3 RCA inputs, a phono corrector module (MM/MS), a pair of coaxial, a pair of optical connectors and a USB interface. There is also an on-board MCT connector for communication with McIntosh transports. The digital-to-analog converter of the model uses chips in Quad Balanced mode and accepts signals up to PCM 32/384 and DSD256.

The MP100 phono corrector is built in full accordance with the company's concept: maximum functionality. The device is capable of working with the MM and MS heads, and each has its own input and the load can be adjusted depending on the sound characteristics and operation of your pickup. The adjustment takes place directly from the front panel of the device. Two knobs allow you to select 6 load options separately for each gain stage. There's a MM mode switch here/MS and a switch button in mono.

In addition to the digital-to-analog converter (and the McIntosh C2700 has a very good one - proprietary Quad Balanced technology, ready to work with signals up to DSD512 and DXD 384 kHz), there is also a Dolby and DTS spatial sound decoder with stereo conversion. Thus, the device will work perfectly with movie sound, easily integrate into a home cinema (there is a Home Theater Pass-Through mode), and also interface with TV via HDMI ARC.

The device has a new removable DA2 module, where all digital inputs and associated signal processing circuits are assembled in a single place. The idea is for the user to easily replace the board as digital audio formats evolve, without having to replace the entire preamp.

The amplifier has absorbed all the advanced McIntosh technologies. The X Power Guard technology is responsible for the safety of the speakers here, and the amplifier is protected from short circuits by the proprietary Sentry Monitor automatic system. Fully passive cooling of the output stages is implemented on McIntosh Monogrammed Heatsink radiators.
