The new 12-channel digital distribution amplifier brings McIntosh\u2019s legendary sound quality to A\/V systems and custom installations everywhere. Offering 50 watts of power into 8 ohms and 90 into 4, power is distributed via highly sophisticated closed-loop digital switching amplifiers that are paired with robust power supplies.<\/p>\n

The MI1250 features installer-friendly, rack-mountable dimensions and, as a highly efficient Class D amplifier, does not require noisy cooling fans to maintain nominal operating temperature. On the front panel, multi-colour LED indicators display the status of each channel. On the back, unbalanced inputs are located with two-pole Phoenix-style push-in speaker terminals for each channel, along with volume controls plus four digital inputs: two optical and two coaxial.<\/p>\n

The MI1250 also benefits from several proprietary McIntosh technologies including: Power Guard\u00ae signal-overload technology that prevents speaker overdrive; Sentry Monitor™ short-circuit protection circuit that disengages the output stage before current exceeds safe operating levels, automatically resetting; BUS input and outputs to easily distribute the stereo signal to multiple outputs and\/or multiple amplifiers and 12-volt triggering.<\/p>\n

An eco-friendly on\/off signal-sensor powers the unit off if no input signal has been detected for a set amount of time and automatically turns the amp on when a signal is sensed.<\/p>\n

The MI1250 includes numerous McIntosh design cues, including a black-glass front panel, housing an illuminated McIntosh logo, plus the familiar form factor complemented by silver trim.<\/p>\n

Price and availability<\/strong><\/p>\n

The\u00a0<\/strong>MI1250 will start shipping from November 2021 (UK). Orders can be placed with Authorised McIntosh dealers now,\u00a0\u00a34,995.<\/strong><\/p>\n
