With a total of 1000 watts of power, the MC205 delivers all the explosive dynamics that 
high-performance home theater systems require. What’s more, by incorporating McIntosh’s 
Dynamic Power Management (DPM)™ circuit topology, the MC205 delivers full power into a 
wide variety of loudspeaker types.

Unlike other high-current designs, the MC205 delivers the same 200 watts per channel 
into both 4-Ohm and 8-Ohm loudspeakers. The Dynamic Power Manager automatically 
controls and optimizes the power supply’s voltage and current balance delivering higher 
voltage that 8-Ohm speakers require, and automatically adjusting for current-hungry 
4-Ohm speakers.

Versatility reigns with the MC205. Aside from a 5-channel home theater amplifier the 
MC205 can also be used as a two zone amplifier with three channels in one zone and the 
remaining two channels assigned to a second zone.

McIntosh amplifiers, whether two-channel or multi-channel designs, are known for smooth, 
non-fatiguing sound, and the MC205 is no exception. Distortion remains below 0.005% 
across the entire 20-20,000 audio band at full power. Noise levels are vanishingly low, and 
five balanced (XLR) input connections help prevent noise pickup in connecting cables
from degrading the amplifier’s low noise advantages.
