MC255

Solid State Amplifier

Give your home theater the power it deserves with the MC255 5-Channel Home Theater Power Amplifier.

Highlighted by our new eye-catching TripleView™ Power Output Meter that independently indicates the real time power reading of the three front channels.

Delivers 250 W per channel when using just the three front channels. When using all 5 channels, each receive a healthy 200 W per channel.

Dynamic Power Manager® (DPM) technology delivers the full 200 or 250 W to either 4 or 8 Ω speakers.

Dynamic headroom - a key feature in a home theater amplifier - has more than doubled from 1.7dB to 3.6dB compared to previous model.

Features four McIntosh Monogrammed Heatsinks™ that efficiently and silently cool the amplifier; as a result, noisy cooling fans are not needed. A quiet, specially wound toroidal isolation power transformer also helps keep noise to a minimum.

Can be used to power a 5-channel home theater; can be paired with either our MI128 or MI254 digital amplifiers in home theaters that have additional speakers; or can be used in a two zone configuration with the three front channels used at 250 WPC in one zone and the two surround sound channels used at 200 WPC in a second audio zone.

Includes Power Guard®, Sentry Monitor™, Power Control, our eco-friendly power management system, and direct LED lighting of the front panel.
