AVAILABILITYN/A
An incredible blend of power and versatility, the MC205 delivers all the explosive dynamics required by today’s demanding high-performance home theater systems. Dynamic Power Manager (DPM), an exclusive McIntosh technology, insures top performance at 8 and 4 ohms, enabling the MC205 to deliver 200 watts per channel into a wide variety of loudspeakers. The MC205 offers outstanding versatility, and can be used as a five-channel home theater amplifier, as well as a two zone amplifier with three channels in one zone and the remaining two channels assigned to a second zone.

POWER ASSURANCE SYSTEM
A collection of technologies that enhance performance and reliability while protecting the amplifier and loudspeakers.

POWER GUARD®
A waveform comparison circuit continuously monitors both input and output signals. Power Guard dynamically adjusts the input level to avoid clipping while preventing harsh sounding distortion.

SENTRY MONITOR®
Fuse-less short-circuit protection circuit disengages the output stage before current exceeds safe operating level – resets automatically.

DYNAMIC POWER MANAGER (DPM)™
By matching the characteristics of the output stage to 4 or 8 Ohm loudspeakers DPM insures the most efficient power transfer, reduces distortion, and promotes cool operation; with DPM you get all the power you paid for.

WATTMETER
Swift, accurate response reveals program peaks so staying within the power limits of your loudspeakers is easy.

POWER OUTPUT
200 Watts into 4 ohm or 8 ohm loads minimum sine wave continuous average power output per channel with all channels operating. The output RMS voltage is 40.0 across 8 ohms and 28.3 across 4 ohms.
