Hear What Your Home Theater Can Really Sound Like: Rack-Mountable McIntosh MI347 Seven-Channel Digital Amplifier Outputs 250 Watts to Front Channels and Delivers Clean, Massive Power to Up to Seven Speakers
McIntosh brings its globally renowned audio performance to the home-theater world with the McIntosh MI347 seven-channel digital amplifier. A dedicated surround-sound component, this reference-class rack-mountable unit pairs closed-loop digital switching amplifiers with massive power supplies to deliver clear, dynamic, immersive sonics that make anything you’re watching onscreen come alive in vivid fashion.
Handmade in the U.S.A. in McIntosh’s long-time upstate New York factory, MI347 recognizes the critical importance of the front and center-channel speakers. Accordingly, it outputs 250 watts (at eight ohms) to all three channels — and a still-impressive 125 watts (at eight ohms) to the other four channels, whether they are used for rear or in-ceiling applications (or both). Measuring 6.0625 x 17.5 x 21 inches (HWD), the 32.5-pound MI347 features seven balanced inputs and the backing of Power Guard overdrive protection, Sentry Monitor short-circuit protection, and Power Control, which automatically turns other connected McIntosh gear on or off.
On the exterior, a black glass front panel, illuminated McIntosh logo, and silver trim convey the company’s classic looks — though you may want to place MI347 into a concealed AV rack, which is easy given its 3U height and supplied mounting brackets. Just as importantly, MI347 runs cool and touts cooling vents on the top and sides of its chassis to assist with heat dissipation. A seamless match with the rack-mountable McIntosh MX200 processor, MI347 also touts front-panel multi-color LED indicators to indicate channel status and the company’s proven five-way speaker binding posts to ensure everything is locked down tight.
Backed by a three-year manufacturer warranty as well as our Satisfaction Guarantee, MI347 will help turn your viewing space into a cinematic and live-sports nirvana. For more information, just reach out to a Music Direct audio consultant at 312-433-0200.
