McIntosh Labs technology
Quad Balanced
Quad Balanced construction uses two complete amplifier circuits per channel in an opposing arrangement so noise and distortion common to both sides are canceled at the output.
Learn a little more
Quad Balanced construction uses two complete amplifier circuits per channel in an opposing arrangement so noise and distortion common to both sides are canceled at the output.
Why it matters
By canceling noise and distortion common to the paired circuits, the design gives McIntosh a quieter and more linear foundation for high-power amplification.
What you may notice
The design can preserve fine detail and dynamic contrast as the music becomes more demanding.
