TECHNOLOGIES

BLUE WATT METERS: As a symbol of superior quality sound, customers appreciate both the aesthetics and the protective information that the signature blue meters provide.
OUTPUT AUTOFORMER: Designed for use in most of the McIntosh solid-state power amplifiers.
POWER GUARD: It dynamically adjusts the input levels to avoid “clipping” while preventing harsh sounding distortion. The volume adjusts at the speed of light to prevent overdriving which results in better sound no matter what volume you want to enjoy.
SENTRY MONITOR: This is a fuse-less circuit that disengages the output stage before the current exceeds the safe operating level and resets automatically when a safe operation is restored.
GLASS FACEPLATES: McIntosh cuts 1/8 to ½ inch glass faceplates with genuine garnet dust to diminish friction.
MCINTOSH TUBE AMPs: They are still manufactured today as many audio enthusiasts enjoy the warmth of a tube amp.
