McIntosh MC1.25KW 1-Channel Power Amplifier
£19,990.00
The MC1.25KW Quad Balanced Power Amplifier is one of our most advanced amplifiers. Redesigned from top to bottom, it replaces the venerable MC1.2KW as our most powerful single chassis monoblock amplifier. A simple glance at this 158 pound (71.7 kg) amp is enough to convey its power and performance capabilities, but when you hear it – then you’ll truly understand what it can do.
The MC1.25KW outputs 1,200 Watts of pure power into a single channel with a nearly imperceptible total harmonic distortion of 0.005%. This astonishing amount of power is fully available to 2, 4 or 8 Ohm speakers via our Autoformer™ technology. A pair of these amps can anchor a home audio system that can rival nearly any stereo system in the world.
Description
The McIntosh MT-10 marries classic McIntosh glass front panel cosmetics with serious
mechanics to create a unique, ready-to-play LP solution. With tracking force, anti-skate
and cartridge position preset at the factory the McIntosh MT-10 delivers high performance
LP playback with minimal set up.
The turntable base is comprised of a damped sandwich of stainless steel and acrylic plate;
a unique combination of dissimilar materials that provides a resonance-free foundation
for the tonearm. A massive, 12 pound, 2 ½” thick acrylic platter spins on a cushion of air,
elevated by a custom magnetic bearing.
A regulated power supply drives a super-quiet, brushless, Swiss DC motor. Unmatched
accuracy is derived from a new electronic speed control that references 1,595 strobe
markings per revolution of the platter. Speed adjustments of 331/3, 45, or 78 RPM are
made from the front panel and are registered on a blue, backlit McIntosh meter.
A custom tonearm features a rigid, dural-aluminium arm-tube gimbaled in two sapphire
(horizontal) and two ceramic (vertical) bearings for the least possible friction. A .5mV
moving coil cartridge is included, and features an ebony body with an elliptical stylus.
■ Power Guard® that monitors and adjusts the output signal at the speed of light and makes real time adjustments to prevent harsh sounding and potentially speaker damaging clipping
■ Sentry Monitor™ – our fuse-less short-circuit protection circuit that disengages the output stage before current exceeds safe operating levels and then resets automatically when operating conditions return to normal
■ Quad Balanced design that cancels virtually all noise and distortion that may have crept into the audio signal
■ Power Control to send power on/off signals to other connected McIntosh components (such as CD Players, turntables, tuners and media streamers) for easy system power up and shutdown
■ Our patented Solid Cinch™ speaker binding posts that easily but securely attach the speaker cables to prevent them from coming loose and possibly causing a short; the binding posts are also gold-plated to prevent corrosion and ensure a quality signal is sent over your speaker cables
