The most powerful single chassis McIntosh monoblock amplifier produces an impressive 1,200 watts. Thanks to our exclusive Autoformer™ technology, this remarkable amount of power is fully available to 2, 4, or 8-ohm speakers.
The MC1201 utilizes our Quad Balanced design that cancels virtually all noise and distortion that may have crept into the audio signal. As a result, even when amplified to high levels the signal is still as clean as when it left the preamplifier.
Other McIntosh technologies are included with the MC1.2KW as well. Power Guard® will prevent harsh sounding clipping that could damage your speakers. Our fuse-less short-circuit protection circuit Sentry Monitor™ disengages the output stage before current exceeds safe operating levels and then resets automatically when operating conditions return to normal. Inputs for both balanced and unbalanced cables are available to provide flexibility in connecting to the rest of your audio system. The large blue watt meter is not only fascinating to look at but also provides a fast and accurate reading of the amplified signal.
A beautiful polished stainless steel chassis houses the classic glass front panel, knobs, brushed aluminum handles and seamlessly blends with any decor. The MC1.2KW is perfect in both 2-channel music systems as well as in-home theater systems.
McIntosh MC1201 monoblock is a huge physical presence, a big hunk iron in anyone's language: 147 gut-busting pounds of stainless-steel chassis and beautifully finished, black-shrouded transformers and heatsinks. Do yourself a big favor and let your dealer install them. You're the one paying the long booty—why should you have to schlep?
The MC1201's front panel is dominated by a huge blue backlit Output Wattmeter under glass
The meter is an audiophile big deal, as explained rather elaborately in the Product Preview I received from McIntosh. An amplifier's power output (in watts) is determined by multiplying its output voltage (E) by its output current (I): EI=W. However, the output meters on some amps are actually voltmeters; output current is not taken into consideration, the company patiently explains. Even though these indicators may be calibrated in watts, they're based on the "patently false notion" that all speakers have a fixed impedance regardless of frequency.
For a specific output voltage, McIntosh continues, the current varies inversely to the speaker's impedance. If the impedance is lower, the output current and power are higher. "Since McIntosh cannot control other manufacturers' speakers, we decided to provide extra output current to drive these mismatched low impedances and to indicate the real output power required to drive them. Therefore the meter circuit in the MC1201 electronically measures both voltage and current, multiplies them, and displays the real output power in watts."
The meter uses a circuit that accelerates the pointer movement. When the pointer reaches its peak excursion, "it pauses only long enough for the human eye to perceive its position, then drops." Fish proudly asserted that the pointer's operation is almost 10 times as fast as a professional VU meter. Another feature of this stupendously large meter is its ability to respond "95% full scale to a single-cycle tone burst at 2kHz." What you see is what you get!
Although the meter's primary output calibration is from 12mW to 1200W, there are smaller 2400W and 4800W indicator positions to the far right! Impressive. "The MC1201 cannot reach this power level continuously;
