McIntosh MA9500
Music comes to life with the MA9500 Integrated Amplifier and its 300 Watts per channel of clean, effortless power.
McIntosh Autoformer™ technology ensures your speakers will receive the full 300 Watts regardless if they have 2, 4 or 8 Ohm impedance.
Filter capacity has been doubled for improved dynamic headroom to reproduce musical peaks with even lower distortion as well as better low frequency performance.
Comes with our advanced DA2 Digital Audio Module that supports high resolution digital music playback of up to DSD512 and 24-bit/192kHz. An HDMI (ARC) input will extract the best sound possible from your compatible TV.Includes 17 total inputs: ten analog and seven digital.
Discrete, eight-band tone control that allows for advanced analog adjustment of ±12dB in 2dB increments.
Upgraded power supply components further reduce noise emissions while adding more robustness under the most demanding conditions.
Includes numerous McIntosh technologies such as fast-responding "McIntosh Blue" Watt meters, Power Guard®, Sentry Monitor™, Monogrammed Heatsinks™, Home Theater PassThru, High Drive headphone amplifier with Headphone Crossfeed Director (HXD®), Power Control, and Solid Cinch™ speaker binding posts.
