McIntosh MAC7200

The stuff of legend

McIntosh is famous for the quality and longevity of their components. The MAC7200 stereo receiver was designed to deliver performance that's on par with McIntosh separates, with the convenience of a single chassis. Music lovers can enjoy their favorite analog and digital sources with pristine sound.

Along with its stellar audio performance, the MAC7200 boasts the classic McIntosh look — black glass front panel, glowing blue power meters, big metal knobs, and illuminated logo. And this gorgeous receiver is designed and built right here in the USA.

Your music at its best

With a total of 14 audio inputs, including six digital connections, the MAC7200 offers some seriously versatile options for a stereo receiver. For your analog audio gear, you'll find five unbalanced RCA inputs, plus a balanced XLR input for professional or high-end source components. The high-quality built-in phono preamp provides separate connections for a turntable with either a moving-magnet or moving-coil cartridge.

Future-proofing for your digital music sources

All of the MAC7200's digital inputs are contained in McIntosh's DA1 Digital Audio Module. At the heart of the DA1 is a high-performance 8-channel 32-bit DAC. It extracts pure, detailed audio signals from your disc player, music streamer, or TV. The USB input handles PCM-based digital music files up to 32-bit/384kHz and DSD files up to 11.2 MHz, for enjoying high-resolution audio from your computer. The DA1 module can be replaced by future modules to keep the MAC7200 up to date with emergent digital audio technologies.

Power to spare

The MAC7200 delivers huge sound with its 200 watts per channel — smooth, rich, non-fatiguing sound that McIntosh amplifiers are known for. One reason is the company's patented Autoformers. These special output transformers feature dedicated connections for speaker impedances of 8, 4, or 2 ohms to ensure that the receiver will deliver its full rated power into any speaker load. It's an expensive way to build an amp, but it means that even exotic, difficult-to-drive high-end speakers will perform admirably with the MAC7200.

A Home Theater Pass Through feature lets you make the MAC7200 part of a multichannel surround sound system. The right and left front channels from an A/V processor or surround decoder can pass through the receiver's analog inputs, allowing you to bring its full 200 watts per channel to bear on your main front speakers.

Radio tuner

Even with the growing number of music sources out there, over-the-air radio still holds magic. If you want to enjoy it through your system with the best sound possible, you need a great tuner, like the one McIntosh built into the MAC7200. It's been carefully crafted to deliver optimum sound from AM and FM radio broadcasts. With 20 presets available for each radio band, you'll have quick access to your favorite stations.

A world-famous audio heritage, made in America

Since its founding in 1949, McIntosh has defined the meaning of high-quality sound reproduction, while setting industry standards for superior performance and reliability. The company is based in Binghamton, New York, where its high-end components and speakers are still individually handcrafted by a team of skilled experts. This uncompromising dedication to quality has made McIntosh one of the most recognized and respected audio manufacturers in the world.
