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

Dynamic Power Manager® (DPM) technology delivers the full 200 or 250 Watts to either 4 or 8 Ohm 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.
