The MA9000
Integrated Amplifier can help you achieve audio perfection. Offering 300 Watts
per channel, it is ur largest integrated.
Features our
new McIntosh Monogrammed Heatsinks™ that are so efficient at dissipating heat
that they warrant bearing the McIntosh “Mc” logo.
All digital
inputs are housed in our new DA1 Digital Audio Module which can be easily
replaced by future modules to keep your MA9000 up to date as new digital audio
formats and technologies are developed.
Supports
high resolution digital music up to DSD256 and DXD 384kHz via a Quad Balanced
8-channel, 32-bit/192kHz DAC.
All
unbalanced analog connectors are made from premium gold-plated solid brass for
superior signal handling and grounding.
The MA9000
is full of McIntosh technological staples including Autoformers, Power Guard®,
Sentry Monitor™, Home Theater PassThru, High Drive headphone amplifier with
Headphone Crossfeed Director (HXD®),
Power
Control and Solid Cinch™ speaker binding posts.
Other
McIntosh features included in the MA9000 are:
- Power Guard® that monitors and adjusts the
sound wave at the speed of light to prevent harsh sounding distortion and
clipping that could damage your speakers
-
Sentry Monitor™ is 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
- Home
Theater PassThru that allows for seamless integration into a home theater
system
- High
Drive headphone amplifier with Headphone Crossfeed Director (HXD®) which can
bring an added dimension to headphone listening
- A discrete, eight-band tone control that
allows for advanced manual analog adjustment of your favorite recordings
- Power Control to send power on/off signals
to connected McIntosh components 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 to your speakers
The entire
unit is wrapped in the classic McIntosh aesthetic with blue watt meters, a
black glass front panel, control knobs, illuminated logo, aluminum end caps
with built-in handles and a beautiful polished stainless steel chassis.
