The McIntosh MC2.1KW Monoblock Power Amplifier is a flagship solid-state amplifier delivering unparalleled performance. Its unique three-chassis design comprises an Output Module and two Power Modules, each housing a 1,000-Watt amplifier, ensuring optimal power delivery and noise cancellation via Quad Balanced circuitry.

It outputs a staggering 2,000 Watts into 2, 4, or 8 Ohms, thanks to McIntosh’s patented Autoformer™ technology, guaranteeing full power regardless of speaker impedance. Exclusive features like Power Guard® and Sentry Monitor™ protect speakers and amplifier. With dual balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs, and a polished stainless steel chassis adorned with the iconic blue Watt meter, the MC2.1KW is the ultimate expression of power, precision, and luxury in audio amplification.

A Tribute To 75 Years Of Excellence
McIntosh will be celebrating our 75th Anniversary in 2024. To commemorate this milestone, the first 75 pairs of MC2.1KW sold in 2024 to each country McIntosh is distributed in will include special anniversary badging.

The Output Module will have a dual anodized laser-engraved badge proudly displaying our 75th Anniversary logo on the top, while the handles on all three modules will have "75 years" engraved in them. These additions are sure to make every MC2.1KW built through 2024 a true collector's item for McIntosh enthusiasts.

Full Power With No Sacrifices
Thanks to our hand wound Autoformer, the full 2,000 Watts of power can be delivered into a speaker regardless if its impedance is 2, 4 or 8 Ohms. This means you won't need to sacrifice any power if your speaker impedance doesn't match the amplifier's output impedance. That's because amplifiers from most other brands only have one output impedance and if that doesn't match your speaker's impedance, then you could sacrifice up to half of the amplifier's power capabilities. This will not happen with our Autoformer and its unique ability to output full power at three separate impedances.

A Sonic Leap Forward
The MC2.1KW succeeds the MC2KW, which rocked the Las Vegas convention hall – and the entire audio world – when it was introduced at the 2005 CES Show. The next generation MC2.1KW offers many sonic upgrades. Chief among them are substantially larger filter capacitors that improve the performance of low end frequencies as well as significantly improving dynamic headroom. These eight larger capacitors are located in the Power Modules behind the custom Power Bank that is visible through the front panel glass.

Our patented Solid Cinch™ speaker binding posts easily but securely attach the speaker cables to prevent them from coming loose and possibly causing a short; the posts are gold-plated to prevent corrosion and ensure a quality signal is sent over your speaker cables. There are dedicated binding posts for 2, 4 and 8 Ohm impedances, with the connectors for each impedance rating located on a separate output platform on the back of the Output Module. Each output platform also has three sets of identical binding posts to facilitate bi- or tri-wiring your loudspeaker.

Four of our McIntosh Monogrammed Heatsinks™ are found on each Power Module. Made from high quality materials with excellent thermal conductivity properties and connected to advanced high current output transistors that eliminate thermal equilibrium lag time, these heatsinks maintain efficient heat dissipation, ensuring consistent audio quality from the first note to the last.

Other upgrades include enhanced circuit designs with modern components and shorter signal paths; updated electrical wiring; bayonet IP68 rated interconnect cables that connect the three modules together; and direct LED front panel lighting.

Dual Inputs For Advanced System Configurations
New on the MC2.1KW are dual sets of balanced and unbalanced inputs, conveniently allowing you to connect more than one preamplifier. This gives you the ability to easily switch between vacuum tube and solid state signals, such as from our reference level C12000 Solid State and Vacuum Tube Preamplifier that has outputs for both signal types, or from separate vacuum tube and solid state preamplifiers. Or use the second set of inputs to connect two preamplifiers of the same type, the choice is yours.

The dual inputs on the MC2.1KW give you added system flexibility and lets you use the signal type of your choice depending on the type of music you're listening to and your listening preferences.

Trusted Mcintosh Technologies
Our exclusive McIntosh technologies ensure your investment is protected and your experience flawless.

- Power Guard® monitors the audio input signal coming into the amplifier and if it detects the amplifier will be overdriven, makes real time, near speed of light adjustments to prevent harsh sounding and potentially speaker damaging clipping. These adjustments are imperceptible to your ear so there is no degradation to sound quality.

- Sentry Monitor™ 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.

- Quad Balanced design that cancels virtually all noise and distortion that may have crept into the audio signal.

- Power Control to send power on/off signals to other connected McIntosh components (such as CD Players, turntables, tuners, and media streamers) for easy system power up and shutdown.

Witness The Beauty
Crafted with stainless steel polished to a gleaming mirrored finish and immaculate metal casework, the MC2.1KW is a visual masterpiece. Black glass front panels, illuminated logos, rotary knobs, aluminum handles, and a responsive blue Watt meter complete the timeless design.
