Delivers pristine music playback to multiple rooms for whole-house audio.
The versatile MI1250 12-Channel Digital Amplifier can distribute pristine music playback to multiple rooms in your home. It delivers 50 Watts into 8 Ohm speakers or 90 Watts into 4 Ohm speakers via highly sophisticated closed-loop digital switching amplifiers that are paired with extremely robust power supplies to produce performance levels that are rarely achieved in distributed audio.
It has installer-friendly physical dimensions and is 2U rack mountable via the included mounting ears (the mounting ears are removable for non-rack installations). As a highly efficient Class D amplifier, it does not require noisy cooling fans to maintain nominal operating temperature.
On the front panel, multi-color LED indicators display the status of each channel.
On the back are unbalanced inputs plus 2-pole Phoenix-style push-in speaker terminals for each channel. Also located on the back are volume controls for volume balancing, along with 2 digital audio inputs (either coax or optical) that can be bussed, and channel summing circuits for easy mono signal distribution.
Other features included on the MI1250 are:
- Power Guard® signal overload technology that prevents overdriving the speakers.
- Their Sentry Monitor™ short-circuit protection circuit disengages the output stage before current exceeds safe operating levels and then resets automatically when operating conditions return to normal.
- BUS input & outputs to easily distribute a stereo signal to multiple outputs and/or multiple amplifiers.
- Individual channel inputs.
- 12 Volt triggering capabilities to automatically turn other connected McIntosh components on and off.
- Eco-friendly on/off signal sensing that turns the unit off if no input signal has been detected for a set amount of time, or automatically turns the amp on when it senses a signal.
The MI1250 includes many McIntosh design cues, including a black glass front panel housing an illuminated McIntosh logo, along with a familiar form factor that is highlighted with silver trim.
