The McIntosh MC303 is our most powerful multi-channel amplifier, delivering a robust 300 Watts into each of its 3 channels. Whether you’re building a high-performance home theater or a state-of-the-art audio system, the MC303 offers unparalleled power, precision, and flexibility, ensuring an extraordinary listening experience.
The MC303 is engineered to drive the front left, right, and center channels of your home theater system, delivering the majority of a movie’s soundtrack with breathtaking clarity and impact. Pair it with McIntosh’s MC312 or MC152 amplifiers for the surround channels, and fully immerse yourself in your movie collection like never before. For audiophiles, the MC303 can also be used in tri-amping configurations on compatible speakers, such as the McIntosh XRT1.1K or XRT2.1K, bringing your music to life with unmatched detail and power.
The MC303 is equipped with McIntosh’s signature technologies to ensure reliable performance. Power Guard® prevents over-driving of the amplifier, protecting your speakers from harsh clipping. The Sentry Monitor™ circuit provides fuse-less short-circuit protection, automatically disengaging the output stage when current exceeds safe levels and resetting when conditions normalize. With inputs for both balanced and unbalanced cables, the MC303 offers the flexibility needed to integrate seamlessly into any high-end audio or home theater system.
True to McIntosh’s design heritage, the MC303 features a polished stainless steel chassis, a classic black glass front panel, and custom machined aluminum handles. The triple bank of blue watt meters provides a striking visual element, allowing you to monitor power output in real-time. For theater use, the meters can be switched off to avoid conflicts with your screen, ensuring that nothing distracts from your viewing experience.
"There was a gripping "rightness" about the musical performance that trumped any rational analysis." - Stereophile Magazine
