As a monoblock power amplifier, a separate \namplifier section is used for each channel, which enables a clear, structured system architecture, especially \nin complex systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor separate amplification per channel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe MC1.25KW is designed for operating a single speaker channel. \nIn a stereo system, we recommend using two MC1.25KW power amplifiers so that the left \nand right channels each have their own power base. \nIn home cinema installations, the amplifier can be used for individual channels \nif a particularly high-quality, separate amplification is \nintended.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnologies in the MC1.25KW\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe McIntosh MC1.25KW incorporates key McIntosh technologies such as Quad \nBalanced Design, Autoformer™, Power Guard®, Sentry Monitor™, McIntosh \nMonogrammed Heatsinks™, Solid Cinch™ Speaker Binding Posts, and Power Control. \nThe concept is complemented by solid-state circuitry, Direct LED \nlighting, ThermalTrak™ Output Transistors, and a sophisticated \npower supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnections and System Integration\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e         \n          \n      The MC1.25KW offers balanced \nand unbalanced inputs and outputs. This allows \nthe power amplifier to be flexibly connected to preamplifiers or AV processors. \nThe existing outputs can also be used to forward the \naudio signal to additional power amplifiers. This enables sophisticated setups such as bi-amping \nor tri-amping, where the frequency ranges of a loudspeaker (e.g. \nbass and high\/mid-range) are driven by separate power amplifiers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOperation with Clear Control\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOperation is via the front and rear panels. The power switch \nallows manual operation or remote operation via a suitable \nPower Control connection. The large blue watt meter displays the output power \nand offers various operating modes, including Watts, Hold, and switched-off \nillumination. The input mode switch on the rear panel selects between \nbalanced and unbalanced input.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProtection functions for safe operation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePower Guard® protects against hard clipping, while Sentry Monitor™ acts as \na short-circuit protection circuit. In addition, the MC1.25KW \nhas thermal protection functions and an auto-off function that can put the device into \nstandby mode after a long period without an input signal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDue to its enormous weight of almost 72 kg, the MC1.25KW should be placed on the \nfloor, on special amplifier stands (Amp Stands) or in an extremely \nload-bearing heavy-duty Hi-Fi rack. Installation in a \npiece of furniture or cabinet is possible, provided the construction is designed for this weight. \nGenerous ventilation is important, as the power amplifier requires free \nair circulation and should not be placed directly above or below other \nheat-generating components.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign and Workmanship\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe black glass front with illuminated logo, aluminum end caps with \nhandles, the large blue watt meter, and the polished stainless steel chassis characterize the \nclassic McIntosh appearance. On the top are newly designed \nhousing areas with a glass cover for the Audio Autoformer and power transformer. \nThe McIntosh Monogrammed Heatsinks™ on the sides of the chassis support \nheat dissipation and emphasize the technical character of the \npower amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McIntosh","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":54748646244693,"sku":"61430","price":21490.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0995\/9715\/6693\/files\/IMG61430_170280.jpg?v=1787725339","url":"https:\/\/fidelity-hh.de\/en\/products\/mc1-25kw-ac","provider":"Fidelity","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
