The McIntosh MA12000 is McIntosh’s most powerful and fully-featured hybrid integrated amplifier, delivering an immense 350 Watts per channel into any speaker impedance via Autoformers™. Its unique design combines a vacuum tube preamplifier (4 x 12AX7A) for warm, natural sound with a solid-state power amplifier for robust dynamics.

This all-in-one unit boasts an expansive 17 total inputs (10 analog, 7 digital). Analog includes 2 balanced, 6 unbalanced, and adjustable MM/MC phono. Digital features the upgradeable DA2 Digital Audio Module with HDMI ARC, USB (up to DSD512), coaxial, optical, and MCT. Additional features include an 8-band analog tone control, High Drive HXD® headphone amp, and Home Theater PassThru. Encased in iconic McIntosh aesthetics with blue meters and a visible tube section, the MA12000 offers uncompromising performance.

- Power Guard® that monitors the output signal for over driving and makes real time micro adjustments to the input signal to prevent harsh sounding clipping that could potentially damage your speakers
- Our fuse-less short-circuit protection circuit Sentry Monitor™ that disengages the output stage before current exceeds safe operating levels and then resets automatically when operating conditions return to normal
- A pair of peak responding, trademarked "McIntosh Blue" Watt meters that indicate the real time power output of each audio channel
- McIntosh Monogrammed Heatsinks™ which are connected to advanced high current output transistors that minimize thermal equilibrium lag (or warm-up) time and help keep the MA12000 running cool
- Home Theater PassThru that allows for seamless integration into a home theater system
- Our patented Solid Cinch™ speaker binding posts that easily but securely attach the speaker cables to prevent them from coming loose and possibly causing a short; the binding posts are also gold-plated to prevent corrosion and ensure a quality signal is sent over your speaker cables to your speakers
- A discrete, eight-band tone control that allows for advanced manual analog adjustment of your favorite recordings
- High Drive headphone amplifier with Headphone Crossfeed Director (HXD®) which can bring an added dimension to headphone listening
Power Control to send power on/off signals to connected McIntosh components for easy system power up and shutdown
- Doubling of filter capacity compared to our other integrated amplifiers for even better low frequency performance
- The latest audio-grade circuit components to deliver the best sound possible
- Powerful control microprocessors to improve overall system operation
- Easy operation via front panel controls or the included comprehensive remote control
