Announcing the McIntosh MA352 Integrated Amplifier
The newest McIntosh MA352 integrated amplifier.
Following the successful MA252 hybrid integrated amp, McIntosh is proud to announce its newest hybrid integrated amp: the MA352 Integrated Amplifier.
The new McIntosh MA352 Integrated Amplifier is a hybrid design that combines the finest of vacuum tube and solid state audio design principles. The result is an eye-catching amplifier that enjoys the best of these two opposing audio philosophies all while reproducing music at the highest quality level.
An all analog design, the MA352 has a vacuum tube preamplifier section and a direct coupled solid state amplifier that outputs 200 Watts per channel into 8 Ohm speakers or 320 Watts per channel into 4 Ohm speakers – double the MA252’s power output and more than enough to properly drive virtually any set of loudspeakers. Dual scale McIntosh blue Watt meters give an accurate readout of power output for both speaker impedances.
The MA352 has 2 balanced and 3 unbalanced inputs plus 1 Moving Magnet phono input with adjustable loading. A stereo preamplifier output is available for connecting a higher-powered amplifier; it can also be used to connect 1 or 2 powered subwoofers for added low frequency performance.
The MA352 is packed with numerous McIntosh technologies including Power Guard®, Sentry Monitor™, McIntosh Monogrammed Heatsinks™, High Drive headphone amplifier with Headphone Crossfeed Director (HXD®), 5-band analog tone control, Home Theater Pass Through, Power Control, and Data Ports.
The unit sits on a stainless steel chassis polished to a mirror finish; vintage McIntosh-styled die cast aluminum name badges are affixed to each side. Blue output meters, control knobs, an illuminated logo, and a black glass front panel with direct LED backlighting complete the unit.
The MA352 has an MSRP of $6,500 USD and can now be ordered at your local authorized dealer with shipping expected to begin in September to the United States and the rest of the world shortly thereafter. Stop into Audion Video Synergy for ordering information.
