The Story
The McIntosh MC303 is our most powerful multi-channelĀ amplifierĀ to date, providing 300 Watts into each of 3 channels. It features our renowned Autoformerā¢, which allows its full 300 Watts of power to be delivered into 2, 4 or 8 Ohm speakers with the lowest noise and distortion performance possible.
The MC303 was designed with the intent to drive a home theaterās front left, front right and center channels. As most of a movieās soundtrack is delivered by these three channels, the powerful MC303 provides all the power needed for an amazing in-home theater experience. For surround channels, combine the MC303 with ourĀ MC312Ā orĀ MC152Ā amplifiers and fully immerse yourself in your movie collection. For music lovers, the MC303 can be used in tri-amping configurations on compatibleĀ speakers, such as ourĀ XRT1KĀ orĀ XRT2.1K.
The MC303 shares many notable McIntosh technologies that are found in our other home audio and home theater products, including Power GuardĀ®Ā that prevents over-driving of the amplifier and the resulting harsh sounding clipping that could damage your speakers. Sentry Monitorā¢ is our fuse-less short-circuit protection circuit that disengages the output stage before current exceeds safe operating levels and then resets automatically when operating conditions return to normal. Inputs for bothĀ balanced cablesĀ andĀ unbalanced cablesĀ are available to provide flexibility in connecting to the rest of your system. A triple bank of blue watt meters provides instant recognition of power output (the meters may be switched off for theater use if they conflict with the television or movie screen).
Aesthetically, the MC303 is every bit as McIntosh as any of our products. A polished stainless steel chassis, classic black glass front panel, knobs and custom machined aluminum handles all come standard.
