This Listing is for a McIntosh MC7106 Amplifier and a MX134 Preamp Predecessor Control Center. Both Tested and Both Are in Fine Working Condition
6 channel Power Amplifier - 100 Watts @ 4 Ohms - THX Ceritfied
The MC7106, Six Channel Power Amplifier, is ideal for a "Mclntosh Quality" Home Theater system. It can also be used in systems where multi amplifiers are needed for remote zones. All three pairs of stereo channels can be switched into Bridged configuration for 320 watts each. You have a choice of six 100 watt channels, (160 watts into 4 ohms), four 100/160 watt channels and one 320 watt channel, two 100/160 watt channels and two 320 watt channels or three 320 watt channels. The MC7106 configuration is perfect for a home theater system that will reproduce Dolby SurroundTM soundtracks. The MC7106 has been Home THX® Audio licensed by Lucasfilm Ltd. to meet all the specialized THX requirements for reproducing Dolby Surround movie soundtracks.
Each of the six MC7106 direct coupled channels can deliver a Peak Output Current of 25 amperes, making it compatible with a wide variety of loudspeakers. All six channels incorporate the Mclntosh POWER GUARD circuit which prevents output clipping with its harsh and damaging distortion. There are front panel LED electronic power level indicators for all six channels which accurately read the percentage of maximum power output. The top LED for each channel display lights whenever the Power Guard circuit is activated. This indicates that the amplifier is being protected from overdrive and clipping. The output level where Power Guard acts will be well above the rated power due to conservative Mclntosh design philosophy. The LED power level displays will automatically dim as the room lights dim. A rear panelcontrol allows you to adjust the LED illumination intensities when they are dimmed, or turn them off completely. The front panel is "Classic Mclntosh", all glass, with lighted nomenclature.
MX134 Preamp
24-BIT SIGNAL PROCESSING. The MX134 features one of the most powerful DSP engines ever. A Motorola 24-bit DSP handles Dolby® Digital/Pro Logic, DTS®, THX® processing, and bass management. THX SURROUND EX AND DTS ES. The latest 7.1 multi-channel formats are supported to reproduce the Back Surround channel information. This produces the most convincing soundstage ever. PRO LOGIC II DECODING FOR MOVIES AND MUSIC. Dolby’s latest technology improves the surround imaging by providing separate surround channel information, as opposed to the mono surround channel used in standard Pro Logic. For music, Pro Logic II allows full range reproduction from the surround speakers with no added delay. HOME THX® CINEMA. The latest Speaker Position Time Synchronization and Decorrelation enhancements for Dolby Digital, Pro Logic II, and DTS optimize sound in rooms lacking proper speaker locations. 24-BIT CONVERSION. A 24-bit stereo A/D converter on the analog input and four 24-bit stereo D/A converters at the DSP output provide a 96kHz throughput sampling frequency. PURE STEREO MODE. In Stereo Mode, analog signals bypass all DSP processors for the purest audiophile sound. Digital signals of any type are down-mixed to a stereo output. TWO INDEPENDENT ZONES. By using the RECORD output and an additional power amp, a second zone can be created with independent control of power, volume, and input selection via an IR sensor or keypad. OPTIONAL INTERNAL TUNER. The MX134 has provisions for adding the McIntosh TM1 AM/FM Tuner Module. The module is a dealer-installed option. AUTOMATIC INPUT LEVEL CONTROL. The analog input to the DSP features a circuit similar to the Power Guard® used in McIntosh amplifiers. AILC continuously monitors input voltage and if overdrive occurs reduces the input level, preventing distortion. REMOTE SELECTION OF MODES AND TRIM SETTINGS. All surround modes and settings for speakers and tone can be adjusted using the remote control from the listening position or by using the TRIM LEVEL knob on the front panel. ON-SCREEN SETUP. Speaker size selection, room calibration, sound enhancement features, and other system settings can be set from the listening position via remote control. Default settings are chosen to work with McIntosh Home Theater speakers, allowing customers to get excellent performance right out of the box. SYSTEM CALIBRATION. The MX134 has internal sequential channel switching and a special sound generator to aid in setting output levels for all speakers. RE-ASSIGNABLE INPUT SELECTION. Any or all of the 11 A/V inputs can be re-assigned (e.g., change the name TAPE2 to the name DVD2). Unused inputs can be turned off so that the Input knob skips over them. All six digital inputs and component video inputs may also be assigned to any A/V source. CONTROL DATA OUTPUTS. To facilitate system integration, the MX134 outputs control data for McIntosh source components. This also allows remote operation of non-McIntosh components either by direct connection to compatible data inputs or via a McIntosh Remote Translator.
