Overview

Stereophile 2022 Recommended Component logo

With 200 Watts per channel, 15 inputs and a high-performance AM/FM tuner, the MAC7200 Receiver is a music lover’s dream. We’ve been making tuners since the 1950s and they are one of the hallmarks of McIntosh, with the groundbreaking MR78 FM Tuner from 1972 considered an all-time classic in the audio industry. The built-in AM/FM tuner in the MAC7200 comes from that same illustrious line of McIntosh tuners and will pick up your favorite radio stations with unparalleled clarity and a realism that is free from noise and distortion.

"Its power, resolution, dynamics, and transparency are among the best I’ve heard... Its sensitivity, selectivity, and ability to quiet with an FM signal equaled and in many cases bettered my FM Reference tuner." - Stereophile

McIntosh MAC7200 Receiver

The MAC7200's advanced signal quality monitor can display the multipath and noise levels of the incoming RF signal to help fine tune antenna placement for optimal reception. Dedicated PRESET and TUNING knobs enable easy radio operation. The FM tuner includes Radio Data System (RDS) support, allowing it to display optional information sent by radio stations such as the station’s name and call letters as well as the name of the artist and song being played. It features 20 presets for each radio band as well as a remote AM antenna.

"This amp is effing great. Sorry but not sorry it is. While there is no shortage of solid amplifiers on the market right now many of which cost a fraction of what the MAC7200 commands, none of that changes the fact that the MAC7200 is just one of those amps that lives up to expectations and even manages to surpass a few of them." - Andrew Robinson (watch his full review below or on his YouTube channel)

The 15 inputs are comprised of both analog and digital input types. For analog, there is 1 balanced and 5 unbalanced inputs plus 1 Moving Coil and 1 Moving Magnet input to connect turntables. For digital, there are 2 coaxial and 2 optical inputs, 1 USB, 1 proprietary MCT input (for use with our MCT500 SACD/CD Transport), and 1 audio-only HDMI Audio Return Channel (ARC)1 connection. All inputs can be given custom names for user-friendly system control and configuration. The digital inputs are contained in our DA2 Digital Audio Module.

McIntosh MAC7200 Receiver

At the heart of the DA2 is a powerful 8-channel, 32-bit Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) used in Quad Balanced mode. PCM signals up to 32-bit/384kHz can be played via the USB input, allowing for playback of high resolution audio up to DSD512 and DXD 384kHz levels. The coax and optical inputs support up to 24-bit/192kHz files.

"What really makes the MAC7200 standout is the magic it brings to every recording you own." - Tone Audio

Our striking Monogrammed Heatsinks™ are included and they not only make a visual statement, but they are also very efficient at dissipating heat – which is why they warrant bearing the McIntosh “Mc” logo. They are connected to advanced high current output transistors that eliminate warm-up time so the MAC7200 is ready to go from the moment you turn it on. Other McIntosh technologies found in the MAC7200 include our Autoformer™ to deliver the full 200 Watts to each of your speakers regardless of their impedance, Power Guard®, Sentry Monitor™, Home Theater PassThru, bass and treble tone controls, High Drive headphone amplifier with Headphone Crossfeed Director (HXD®), and gold-plated speaker binding posts.

The MAC7200 is one of many McIntosh products to receive Roon Tested designation from Roon Labs. As a Roon Tested partner, McIntosh has provided equipment to Roon for testing with a variety of different operating systems and computers, and shared information about its design and capabilities.

"A pure music machine and it was built to deliver it, period." - TED Magazine

The entire unit is wrapped in the timeless McIntosh appearance with blue watt meters, a black glass front panel with aluminum end caps, control knobs and illuminated logo. Contact your local dealer to learn more.
