McIntosh MI 200 Power Controller – Sophisticated protection for audio components
McIntosh Laboratory Inc. describes the newly presented McIntosh MI 200 Power Controller as a well-thought-out solution for protecting your audio systems from unwanted electrical problems.
- McIntosh Laboratory Inc. presents the new McIntosh MI 200 Power Controller as a solution for securing expensive HiFi components.
Many High-end HiFi manufacturers devote the utmost attention to the power supply of their solutions, as this is the basis for the quality that can ultimately be achieved. Some users do not want to rely on this alone and invest in additional solutions to guarantee a consistently flawless power supply that is free from sound-damaging influences.
Now the US High-end HiFi manufacturer McIntosh Laboratory Inc. is introducing a product for powering HiFi components: the new McIntosh MI 200 Power Controller.
A tool for more security
The exciting thing about the new McIntosh MI 200 Power Controller is that the US-American High-end HiFi manufacturer, in view of its presentation, does not mention a single word about the fact that a better sound quality is achieved here; rather, it is referred to as a solution that is designed to provide more security.
With the new McIntosh MI 200 Power Controller, the company has developed a product that is designed to protect high-quality electronic components in the areas of HiFi, home cinema and, last but not least, custom installation, as the company states.
It is an advanced solution for protecting audio components from unexpected electrical problems. It can be used to ensure that valuable audio components are spared from power disturbances such as surges from lightning strikes, power surges in general, and power outages, as explained in detail.
Sophisticated protection against over- and undervoltage, filter for EMI
The system relies on sophisticated, programmable over- and undervoltage protection, whereby the protection system automatically switches off the outlets when voltage levels outside of the tolerance are detected and only switches them back on when the voltage has dropped back to a safe operating level.
In addition, the McIntosh MI 200 Power Controller can be used to filter electromagnetic interference (EMI) and is designed to be 2U rack mountable.
In the version designed for the local market, the McIntosh MI 200 Power Controller has four Type F CEE 7/3 or Shuko plugs. The McIntosh MI 200 Power Controller measures 44,5 x 39,9 x 11,1 cm and weighs 7,7 kg.
Prices and availability
The new McIntosh MI 200 Power Controller should already be available at specialist retailers in the coming days, as promised by the manufacturer. The recommended retail price is € 3.995,-.
Getting to the point
It is interesting that, in view of the presentation of the new McIntosh MI 200 Power Controller, McIntosh Laboratory Inc. does not in any way speak of a possible sound gain. Rather, this solution is described solely as a sophisticated protection for high-quality audio components in the areas of HiFi, home cinema and custom installation.
