Performance Features
· Power Output
The MC1201 is a Power Amplifier with a capability of
1,200 watts into 2, 4 or 8 ohm speakers with less than
0.005% distortion.
· Full Balanced Circuity
The MC1201 is fully balanced from inputs to outputs. It
consists of two matched power amplifiers operating in
push-pull with their outputs combined in a McIntosh
Autoformer. The double balanced configuration cancels
virtually all distortion.
General Notes
Caution: The MC1201 Amplifier weight is 147 pounds
(66.7 kilograms). It requires two or more persons
to safely handle when moving the amplifier.
1. The following Connecting Cable is available from the
McIntosh Parts Department:
Power Control Cable Part No. 170-202
Six foot, 2 conductor shielded, with two 1/8 inch stereo
mini phone plugs.
· Power Guard
The patented McIntosh Power Guard circuit that prevents
the amplifier from being overdriven into clipping, with its
harsh distorted sound that can also damage your valuable
loudspeakers.
2. For additional connection information, refer to the owner’s
manual(s) for any component(s) connected to the MC1201.
3. The MC1201 mutes the speaker output for approximately two
seconds when first turned on.
4. It is very important that loudspeaker cables of adequate size
be used, so that there will be no power loss. The size is
specified in Gauge Numbers or AWG, (American Wire Gauge).
The smaller the Gauge number, the larger the wire size:
If your loudspeaker cables are 50 feet (38.1m) or less,
use at least 14 Gauge.
· Sentry Monitor and Thermal Protection
McIntosh Sentry Monitor power output stage protection
circuits ensure the MC1201 will have a long and trouble
free operating life. Built-in Thermal Protection Circuits
guard against overheating.
If your loudspeaker cables are 100 feet (76.2m) or less,
use at least 12 Gauge.
5. Pin configuration for the XLR Balanced Input connectors on
the MC1201: PIN 1: Shield or ground
· Patented Autoformer
McIntosh designed and manufactured Output Autoformers
provide an ideal match between the amplifier output stages
and speaker loads of 2, 4 and 8 ohms. The Autoformers
also provide perfect DC protection for your valuable loud-
speakers.
PIN 2: + input
PIN 3: - input
6. In the event that the MC1201 over heats, due to improper
ventilation and/or high ambient temperature, the protection
circuits will activate. The Front Panel Power Guard LED will
continuously indicate ON and the audio will be muted. When
the MC1201 has returned to a safe operating temperature,
normal operation will resume.
· Illuminated Power Meter
The Illuminated Power Output Watt Meter on the MC1201
is peak responding, and indicates the true power output of
the amplifier. The Peak Watt Hold Mode allows the meter
to temporarily stay at the highest power output and then
slowly decay.
7. The MC1201 incorporates the very latest in Fully Double
Balanced Circuitry. As a result, the Loudspeaker

(66.7 kilograms). It requires two or more persons
to safely handle when moving the amplifier.
The MC1201 can be placed upright on a table or shelf,
standing on its four feet. The
four feet may be removed from
the bottom of the MC1201
when it is custom installed as
outlined below. The four feet
together with the mounting
screws should be retained for
possible future use if the
MC1201 is removed from the
custom installation and used
free standing. It also can be
custom installed in a piece of
furniture or cabinet of your
choice. The required panel cut-
out, ventilation cutout and unit
dimensions are shown.
Always provide adequate
ventilation for your MC1201.
Cool operation ensures the
longest possible operating life
for any electronic instrument.
Do not install the MC1201 di-
rectly above a heat generating
component such as a high pow-
ered amplifier. If all the com-
ponents are installed in a single
cabinet, a quiet running venti-
lation fan can be a definite as-
set in maintaining all the sys-
tem components at the coolest
possible operating temperature.
A custom cabinet installa-
tion should provide the follow-
ing minimum spacing dimen-
sions for cool operation. Allow
at least 6 inches (15.24 cm)
above the top, 2 inches
(3.81cm) below the bottom and
1 inch (2.54 cm) on each side
of the amplifier, so that airflow
is not obstructed. Allow 22
inches (55.88 cm) depth behind
the front panel. Allow 2 inches

Technical Description
McIntosh Laboratory, the company who introduced the
world’s first amplifier that could be called “High Fidelity”,
has done it again. The McIntosh engineering staff has cre-
20Hz to 20,000Hz. Typical performance at mid frequencies
is less than 0.002%. The true distortion readings on the
MC1201 are so low, it takes special measuring techniques

advanced McIntosh circuit design concepts.
best possible performance from any type of high quality
loudspeaker system.
A continuous average power output rating of 1,200
watts and with an output current of greater than 200 am-
peres, makes this not only the most advanced, but also the
most powerful amplifier McIntosh has ever manufactured.
The distortion limits for the MC1201 are no more than
0.005% at rated power output for all frequencies from
Creating an amplifier with this level of performance did
not come easily. Many months of design, testing and mea-
suring were required. Extensive controlled listening tests,
the ultimate form of measuring, were made before the final
design was accepted.

Technical Description
Design Philosophy
The output signals of the two balanced circuits are
coupled together in the unique McIntosh MC1201 Output
Autoformer. It provides low distortion power transfer at
frequencies from below 20Hz to well beyond 20,000Hz
with optimum impedance points of two ohms, four ohms
and eight ohms. The unequaled expertise of McIntosh in
the design and manufacturing of autoformers is legendary
in the high fidelity industry.
The design philosophy incorporated in the MC1201 in-
volved several different techniques, all based on sound sci-
entific logic. Every stage of voltage or current amplifica-
tion must be as linear as possible prior to the use of nega-
tive feedback. McIntosh engineers know how to properly
design negative feedback circuits so they contribute to the
extremely low distortion performance expected from a
McIntosh amplifier. The typical McIntosh owner would
never accept the approximately 100 times higher distortion
of many non-feedback designs.
The high efficiency circuit design of the MC1201 con-
tributes to low operating temperatures. More than 290
square inches of heat sink area keep the MC1201 operating
Double Balanced Push-Pull design is used from input to safely with convection cooling. No fans are needed.
output. Each half of the amplifier contains complimentary
balanced circuitry. The resulting double balanced configu-
ration cancels even order distortion. Refer to figure 12.
All transistors are selected to have nearly constant cur-
rent gain over the entire current range they must cover.
Output transistors in particular, have matched uniform cur-
rent gain, high current bandwidth product and large active
region safe operating area. An automatic tracking bias sys-
tem completely eliminates any trace of crossover distor-
tion. Precision metal film resistors and low dielectric ab-
sorption film capacitors are used in all critical circuit loca-
tions.
Autoformers
All solid state power amplifier output circuits work best
into what is called an optimum load. This optimum load
may vary considerably from what a loudspeaker requires.
In the case of more than one loudspeaker connected in par-
allel, the load to the power amplifier may drop to two ohms
or even less. A power amplifier connected to a load that is
lower than optimum, causes more output current to flow,
which results in extra heat being generated in the power
output stage. This increase in temperature will result in a
reduced life expectancy for the amplifier.

Amplifier and Meter Circuitry

The special Balanced Dual Core Autoformer creates an
ideal match between the power amplifier output stage and
the loudspeaker. A McIntosh amplifier with an Autoformer
can be used to safely drive multiple speakers without re-
ducing the life expectancy of the power amplifier. Refer to
figure 13.
Power Output Meter
The McIntosh MC1201 has a huge hand built Output Watt
Meter that responds 95% full scale to a single cycle tone
burst at 2kHz. Refer to figure 14. Voltage and current out-
put are electronically measured, multiplied and fed to a
special circuit that accelerates the pointer movement in the
upward direction. When the pointer reaches its peak it
pauses only long enough for the human eye to perceive its
position, then drops. It is almost 10 times faster than a pro-
fessional VU meter.
A front panel switch is provided to change the meter to
the Watts Hold Mode of operation. This allows fast upward
movement of the pointer but greatly increases Hold Time at
the peak of its travel. The highest power output of the
source material is thus recorded.
Protection Circuits
The MC1201 incorporates a version of the McIntosh Sen-
try Monitor Output Transistor Protection Circuit. Refer to

Power Supply Circuits
To compliment the fully balanced design of the MC1201
there are two high voltage power supplies; one for each of
the two amplifier circuits, allowing each amplifier circuit
to be optimized using its own power supply. Refer to figure
19. High power amplifiers draw high current from the AC
power line. Therefore, it is important that they plug directly
into the wall outlet.
Also, most owners desire that there be one power
switch for the whole audio system. The MC1201 is
equipped with a circuit that provides remote Power Control
from your McIntosh Preamplifier or Control Center. When
you turn on your preamplifier a digital “1” (+5V) signal
operates the power relay in the MC1201. The MC1201 also
has a remote Power Control Out Jack. The Power Control
signal from this jack is delayed by a fraction of a second so
that the turn on power surge of the next power amplifier
occurs at a later time. This helps prevent power circuit
overload that could trip circuit breakers or blow fuses, a
very important feature in a high power Home Theater Sys-
tem employing three MC1201 Power Amplifiers.
The MC1201 can provide greater than 200 amperes
peak output current to drive uneven speaker loads. Some
poor speaker designs have input impedance that dip to 1 or
2 ohms at various frequencies and the MC1201 has the out-
put current reserve to drive them. It can deliver over 1,000
Watts Output on tone bursts. The MC1201 has huge main
filter capacitors that guarantee an excellent signal to noise
ratio and the energy storage necessary for the wide dy-
namic range that “Digital Audio” demands.
