The MA7200 is an exquisite, high-performance solid state stereo integrated amplifier that incorporates power amplification circuitry equipped with McIntosh 's exclusive Autoformer technology to ensure that its 200 continuous watts per channel are fully delivered. whether the impedance of the associated speakers is 8, 4 or 2 ohms.
In the area of analog connectivity, the MA7200 includes a total of 8 inputs divided into 1 balanced line, 5 unbalanced line, 1 phono for moving magnet (MM) cartridges and 1 phono for moving coil cartridges ( MC), to which must be added 1 set of unbalanced outputs.
Regarding digital connectivity, let us point out that the MA7200 comes standard with the McIntosh DA1 module, whose six digital inputs (2 coaxial, 2 optical, 1 USB and 1 MCT) facilitate connection to any latest generation digital source.
Likewise, the DAC functionality of the DA1 – which can be optionally replaced by the even more advanced DA2 module – is compatible with recordings in DSD256 (11.2 MHz) and DXD with a sampling rate of 384 kHz, thanks to the use of a “chip 8-channel D/A conversion with 32-bit technology configured in Quad Balanced mode to dramatically increase dynamic range and minimize distortion.
McIntosh 's exclusive MCT input allows for a secure DSD connection with any of the brand's CD/SACD transport mechanisms and optimizes the sound quality of SACDs.
The MA7200 also includes two of McIntosh 's exclusive Monogrammed Heatsinks to ensure perfect thermal stability for the advanced high-current, high-speed transistors in its output section, plus a headphone amplifier. high current Headphone Crossfeed Director (HXD), powerful electronic protection and two iconic elements of the American firm: the treated glass front panel and two elegant analogue VU meters with a blue background.
