MC8207 7-Channel Solid State Amplifier
MC8207: £9495
200 Watts x 7 Channels
Designed for home theatres
LED power output indicators
At 200 Watts per channel, the 7-channel MC8207 home theatre amplifier can power all the speakers in a 7.1-channel home theatre to McIntosh’s legendary standards. It features LED power output indicators instead of our traditional blue meters. These indicators will display the amplifier’s power output just as the blue meters do but in a more understated way – making the MC8207 a perfect choice for darkened home theatres where the screen is the focal point. In addition to 7.1 theatre systems, it can be used in 5.1 home theatres with two channels to power a second zone in stereo mode.
The McIntosh exclusive Dynamic Power Manager® (DPM) technology enables the MC8207 to deliver its full power into 4 and 8 Ohm speakers, meaning it’s compatible with a wide variety of home theatre speakers – unlike many other high current amplifiers. Just like our other home theatre amplifiers, the MC8207 does not need cooling fans, eliminating fan noise that can interfere with the delicate nuances of a movie’s soundtrack. Power Guard® will prevent potential speaker damage caused by clipping and over-driving the amplifier. Short-circuit protection is provided by Sentry Monitor™, which disengages the output stage before the current exceeds safe operating levels and then resets automatically when operating conditions return to normal.
For the utmost sound quality, inputs for balanced audio cables are included for all seven channels. When used in a dual zone configuration, for your convenience, there are also unbalanced inputs for the two channels used in the secondary zone.
The classic black glass front panel and custom machined brushed aluminium end caps make the MC8207 a welcome addition to any home theatre. Combine it with a home theatre processor for the ultimate in-home entertainment.
