The McIntosh performance, quality and classic design have entranced music and audio enthusiasts for years, come join the experience with Digital Ear

Mc Clock:

McIntosh Audio has had a wide range of lovely accessories to complement their range of Hi Fi. They do key-rings, deck chairs, lapel pins, beach towels, bags and even their book (history of McIntosh).  Now to complete the range, McIntosh has added a Clock. Made from the front fascia of their MC-252 power amp, with rear screen printed 10mm glass, aluminum trim and their classic fiber-optic illuminated meters displaying hours and minutes. The clock looks exactly like the front of one of their power amps, but as its only a few centimeters thick, can be wall or desk mounted. Digital was the first dealer in the country to sell the McClock, come get yours today

Men220:

The new MEN220 Room Correction System by McIntosh delivers a potent suite of Room Correction, Custom-EQ and 2-Way Crossover capabilities in one easy-to-use stereo component. While any single feature of the MEN220 has the power to optimize the sonic characteristics of the highest quality audio systems, combining the features can reveal a level clarity and resolution unattainable by any other means. Front panel buttons and control knobs bring a familiar, easy-to-use analog interface to this digital product just as a 2-line vacuum fluorescent display reports status and aids in set-up of the MEN220. Both single-ended and balanced connections are supported; a hand-held, IR remote control is included

MX150:

The MX150 features five HDMI 1.3 audio/video inputs and is engineered to function with all the latest audio processing technologies to ensure seamless compatibility and maximum performance with Blu-ray disc players. In addition to its ability to decode Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio, it also affords decoding of Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby Pro Logic IIx, Dolby Digital 5.1/7.1, Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS 5.1/7.1, DTS ES, Discrete 6.1, DTS ES Matrix 6.1, DTS Neo 6, DTS 96/24. The unit's five Component, two S-Video and two Composite video inputs ensure the ultimate in home entertainment expandability, with user preferences assignable per source.

Video signals are minimally processed in order to preserve their integrity and maximize hardware compatibility. Analog video is transcoded to digital HDMI with the original scan type, line resolution and frame rate preserved. HDMI video is passed through unaltered.

For added flexibility in multi-zone system building, the MX150 is a 2-zone controller with both zones controllable from the front panel or with remote sensors/keypads and comes complete with an event based learning remote control.

 

XR200:

With the XR200, McIntosh shows off its long history of multi-driver design experience with a 19-element midrange and tweeter group (12 mid cones and seven one-inch tweeters) and three eight-inch woofers. It's a patented system that the McIntosh designers believe gives the speaker an unparalleled degree of sonic precision and clarity. This belief is well played out in the real world: Pop a CD into your sound system and you'll experience a whole new world. Guitars will sparkle, basses will pound out clearly with none of the low-end muddiness of some systems, and symphonies will fill the room with lifelike sound. One top-mounted, tuned port keeps the noise clean, and the glossy, three-sided enclosure is stylish in a testosterone-soaked way. Sure, McIntosh’s XR200s will meld perfectly with a million-dollar home theater, but they'll work equally well to bring a more modest system to life.

MC452

The time-proven amplifier technologies of the new McIntosh MC452 result in an amplifier that will last a lifetime, both in enjoyment and appearance. This is their most powerful stereo amplifier, with over 450 Watts per channel, will easily and effortlessly deliver beautiful music with any loudspeaker! The sound of the new McIntosh MC-452 is incredibly rich, and full, with a soundstage that far extends beyond the loudspeakers both in width and height. The bass is tight and quick, and with the new Thermal-Track output transistors assures that you'll always have marvelous sound quality.  Rated at 450 watts per channel, from 20Hz to 20,000Hz at 8 Ohms RMS,the new McIntosh MC-452 is their most powerful stereo amplifier and one of the most impressive sounding amplifiers that is available!

MC302:

MC302 features classic McIntosh amplifier styling combined with advanced audio performance. Larger easier to read Watt Meters, New Style Mcintosh engineered binding posts and the latest advancements in circuit design combine to make MC302 the Value McIntosh amplifier.

MC601:

The new MC601 has a new cosmetic reflective of the classic MC1.2K monoblock amplifiers. It has a new backlit one piece glass faceplate and a new 8″ wide True Wattmeter with McIntosh indigo blue LED lighting. The McIntosh MC601 also has anodized aluminum trim handles to match the new cosmetic set forth by the new MC452 amplifier.

The new MC601 features Thermaltrak output transistors that allow for instantaneous circuit biasing which result in cooler and more efficient performance. Also featured is a new Quad balanced output circuit design which has two separate and complete amplifiers which combine to cancel out noise and distortion. Completing this is a newly designed high current capable McIntosh Autoformer, built in-house at the McIntosh factory in Binghamton NY.

The McIntosh MC601 has advanced McIntosh features including patented McIntosh Power Guard, a circuit that brings out maximum sound quality at high power levels, and McIntosh Sentry Monitor which uses a continuous sentry circuit monitor to provide protection in the case of a short circuit or overdriven loudspeaker. The McIntosh MC601 has built in circuitry and output taps to handle speaker loads of 2, 4 and 8 Ohm loads. Each 2, 4, or 8 Ohm output tap basically makes the MC601 purpose built for your speaker type, be it a voltage hungry 8 Ohm speaker, or a current loving 2 Ohm loudspeaker such as a planar magnetic.

The McIntosh MC601 features 600 watts of output power with vanishingly low Total Harmonic Distortion of 0.005% throughout its entire power output range
