The McIntosh MC252 delivers 250 watts per channel of clean, powerful amplification with McIntosh's legendary sound quality. Its shallow depth makes installation simple in standard cabinets, while the exclusive Output Autoformers® ensure full power delivery to any loudspeaker impedance without stress.
With maximum distortion of just 0.005% across the entire audio spectrum, the MC252 provides pristine sound reproduction. The two channels can be combined into a single high-power channel delivering 500 watts into 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16 Ohms.
McIntosh's patented Power Guard® circuit prevents clipping dynamically using photo-optic technology, protecting your speakers and ensuring clean sound even during demanding passages.
