Description

MC312

The MC312 by McIntosh is a great choice to power virtually any home audio system. The full 300 Watts is available to be delivered to almost any speakers, regardless if they have 2, 4 or 8 Ohm impedance thanks to the unique Autoformer™ technology.

The MC312 has received numerous improvements compared to the previous version. Most notably is that filter capacity doubles, which increases dynamic headroom an impressive 27% from 1.8 dB to 2.3 dB. This increase means the MC312 will be even better suited to handle wide dynamic swings in your music. Distortion prevention and bass performance also benefit from the increased filter capacity.

While still looking very much like a McIntosh, the MC312 benefits from some key design updates. Direct LED backlighting now illuminates the front panel for improved colour accuracy. The audio output Autoformers still straddle the power transformer, but are now located in new enclosures that are capped by a single cover containing glass inserts that show the wiring diagram for each transformer.

Other updates include the addition of special Monogrammed Heatsinks™ and an eco-friendly power management system. Numerous circuit components and internal wiring receive upgrades too. Balanced and unbalanced outputs are added to enable bi-amping or tri-amping your speakers; plus they can also be used to connect to a secondary system if your preamplifier doesn’t have enough connections, or to connect a powered subwoofer.

MC312 is packed full of other exclusive McIntosh technologies too: Power Guard – a circuit that monitors and adjusts the input signal at the speed of light and makes real time adjustments to prevent harsh sounding and potentially speaker damaging clipping. Sentry Monitor – a fuseless short-circuit protection circuit that disengages the output stage before current exceeds safe operating levels and then resets automatically when operating conditions return to normal. Power Control sends power on/off signals to other connected McIntosh components (such as CD Players, turntables, tuners and media streamers) for easy system power up and shutdown, and patented Solid Cinch gold-plated speaker binding posts that securely attach speaker cables, preventing them from coming loose and possibly causing a short.
