The McIntosh MC152 is a solid-state stereo amplifier designed to deliver high-quality audio performance in a compact form factor. It provides 150 Watts of power per channel at 2, 4, or 8 Ohms, making it suitable for modest-sized systems or for use in home theater settings to power surround channels. The amplifier features both balanced and unbalanced inputs to accommodate various preamplifiers, ensuring versatility in setup options. A notable aspect of the MC152 is its space-saving design, with a slim chassis height of just 6 inches, allowing it to fit into tighter spaces than larger models. Despite its smaller physical size, the MC152 incorporates advanced McIntosh technologies such as the Autoformer™, which guarantees that each speaker receives full power regardless of impedance. Additionally, the Power Guard® system is included to prevent clipping, protecting connected speakers from potential damage. The aesthetic design features a classic black glass front panel, silver end caps, and large blue watt meters, symbolizing the quality associated with the McIntosh brand. The amplifier's performance specifications indicate a total harmonic distortion of just 0.005%, a signal-to-noise ratio of 118dB for balanced and 115dB for unbalanced inputs, and a damping factor of greater than 40, contributing to its ability to produce clear and dynamic audio output across a frequency response range from 20Hz to 20kHz with minimal deviation. The MC152 is engineered for high fidelity and longevity, backed by a 3-year warranty.
