    The MC1201 is McIntosh's most powerful amplifier ever, producing 1,200 watts using a unique quad-differential double-balanced push-pull design with two complete amplifier circuits. It features McIntosh's exclusive autoformer technology which provides balanced operation from input to speaker output, cancelling virtually all distortion. The autoformer also creates an ideal impedance match to protect against distortion and power reduction while driving multiple speakers. The MC1201 includes McIntosh's exclusive Power Assurance System technologies which enhance performance, reliability, and protect the amplifier and speakers.

    Power Amplifier

    legendary MC1201—
    “the
    the most powerful
    McIntosh amplifier ever”

    Producing a massive 1,200 watts, the MC1201 is the most powerful Double-Balanced Push-Pull Design
    amplifier ever created by McIntosh Laboratory. The extraordinary quad- Exclusive McIntosh Output Autoformer
    differential design of the MC1201 actually consists of two complete Exclusive McIntosh Power Assurance System
    amplifier circuits, one the mirror image of the other, whose outputs are Power Guard Clipping Protection
    combined in the unique McIntosh Output Autoformer, resulting in totally Sentry Monitor Current Protection
    balanced operation from input to speaker output and the cancellation of Thermal Cutout
    virtually all distortion. DC Failure Protection
    Turn-On Delay
    The McIntosh Autoformer, a hand-crafted transformer with output con- Soft Start Inrush Protection
    nections for two, four and eight ohms, creates an ideal impedance match Illuminated Peak-Responding Wattmeter
    to guard against distortion and reduction in power. A McIntosh amplifier Balanced Connections
    with an Autoformer can also safely drive multiple speakers connected in Remote Power Control
    parallel, without shortening the life expectancy of the output stage. Far
    from exacting any performance penalty, the Autoformer’s frequency
    response exceeds that of the output circuit, and extends well beyond the
    audible range, for almost immeasurably low distortion.
