About the MC352

The McIntosh MC352 is a stereo power amplifier featuring two separate channels, each capable of delivering 350 watts into 2, 4, or 8 ohm speakers with less than 0.005% total harmonic distortion. It employs a fully balanced double push-pull circuit design with matched amplifiers per channel, combined through McIntosh's patented output autoformers, which provide ideal impedance matching and allow consistent power delivery across various speaker loads. The amplifier includes McIntosh's Power Guard circuit to prevent clipping and distortion, Sentry Monitor and thermal protection circuits for reliability, and a large peak output meter with iconic McIntosh blue lighting. It supports balanced and unbalanced inputs with high input impedance and features a damping factor greater than 40. The MC352 weighs 105 pounds and measures 17.5 inches wide, 8.9 inches high, and 21 inches deep. It can also be configured as a 700 watt monaural amplifier by parallel connection. The design emphasizes sonic transparency, dynamic power, and a rich, dimensional soundstage with very low distortion and high signal-to-noise ratio.
