Product Details
The MA252 IntegratedAmplifier is the first hybrid integrated amplifier from McIntosh. Taking retrodesign cues from the legendary McIntosh MC275 Vacuum Tube Amplifier, the MA252combines the best of vacuum tube and solid state circuit design to create anamplifier that's both visually and sonically stunning.
https://www.mcintoshlabs.com/products/integrated-a...
The pre-amplifier stage uses two 12AX7a and two 12AT7 vacuum tubes housedinside stylish protective cages; the output stage is a direct coupled solidstate amplifier that delivers 100 Watts per channel into 8 Ohm speakers or 160 Watts per channel into 4 Ohm speakers. An allanaloge design, it comes with 2 unbalanced, 1 balanced and 1 Moving Magnet phonoinput for turntables. All 4 inputs can be given user-friendly names in order tosimplify user control. Bass and treble tone controls help fine tune your musicto your personal preferences. A full range subwoofer output is included for usewith a powered subwoofer to further enhance low frequencies.
The MA252 features ourMcIntosh Monogrammed Heatsinks? which are connected to advanced high currentoutput transistors. These transistors eliminate the typical amplifier warm-uptime so that the MA252 is in peak operating condition from the moment it'sturned on. A powerful control microprocessor is used for smooth systemoperation, along with some of the latest audio-grade circuit components thatdeliver the best possible sound.
Thanks to its solid state output, the MA252 is our first product containing vacuum tubes to include our patented Power GuardŽtechnology. Power Guard monitors the output signal for signs of over driving and makes real time micro adjustments to the input signal to prevent harsh sounding clipping that could potentially damage your speakers. If Power Guard is activated, the 2 vacuum tubes connected to the affected audio channel(s) will flash an amber colour; they will return to their normal green colour when the clipping has stopped.
Other McIntosh technologies found in the MA252 include Sentry Monitor?, High Drive headphone amplifier and gold-plated speaker binding posts. Input selection, bass, treble, tone bypass, balance and input offset levels can be adjusted using the front panel knobs or the included remote control; all settings and input selection will be shown on the OLED display. The entire unit sits atop a beautiful polished stainless steel chassis with a classic McIntosh-styled die cast aluminium name badge attached to each side.
