The MI502 2-Channel Digital Amplifier is a flexible component and a welcome addition to a custom-installed home audio or home theatre system. It delivers world-renowned McIntosh sound quality at a rate of 500 Watts into 8 Ohm speakers or 800 Watts into 4 Ohm speakers. It uses highly high-tech closed-loop digital switching amplifiers and resilient power supplies that produce performance levels seldom heard in custom-install audio.
Immerse yourself in your favourite movies or sports! A custom 11-channel home theatre powered by McIntosh MX100 A/V Processor, MI502 2-Channel Amplifier, MI254 4-Channel Amplifier, and MC255 5-Channel Amplifier.
The applications are nearly limitless for how to use the versatile MI502 in your home entertainment system. It can be used to power the front left and right speakers in a home theater; to drive two in-wall subwoofers; a pair of MI502s could drive the three front channels of your in-home cinema plus one subwoofer; or to power a pair of outdoor speakers for when the party makes it way outside. Additionally, a stack of multiple MI502s could be used to power the distributed audio speakers installed throughout your home.
Rack Mounting Bracket.
The MI502 is rack mountable and has a mounting height of 2U, making it easy to install in an equipment rack via the included mounting brackets (the mounting brackets are removable for non-rack installations). As a highly efficient Class D amplifier, it does not require noisy cooling fans to maintain the nominal operating temperature, so the only thing you'll hear is amazing-sounding audio that will impress you and your guests.
Other features that come with the MI502 are:
Power Guard® signal overload technology that prevents overdriving the speakers
Sentry Monitor™ short-circuit protection circuit that disengages the output stage before the current exceeds safe operating levels and then resets automatically when operating conditions return to normal
Power Control 12 Volt triggering capabilities
Eco-friendly on/off signal sensing that turns the unit off if no input signal has been detected for a set amount of time or automatically turns the amp on when it senses a signal.
The MI502 includes many McIntosh design cues, including a black glass front panel, our coveted blue Watt meters, an illuminated McIntosh logo, and a familiar form factor highlighted by silver trim.
