MX136
Audio and Video Preamplifier/Processor
The MX136 is a complete system control center that combines the legendary McIntosh analog two channel performance with the latest digital audio and video signal processing and source switching. Four HDMI digital video inputs and five Component video inputs are assignable to any of the eleven audio/video inputs. All standard definition video signals can be transcoded to digital HDMI.
Audiophiles need not give up sound quality for flexibility with an MX136. Balanced and singled-ended audio outputs are supported for all channels. Pure analog and two-channel bypass modes are provided, as is a low noise MM phono preamp. A multi-channel input is included.
An optional TM-1 AM/FM tuner module is available. Programming and customization is made easy via a system of on-screen menus. Bass and treble, loudspeaker level trims as well as surround and music modes are all readily accessible via the frontpanel. The MX136 supports two zones of audio and video, McIntosh power and data control, and is fully RS232 compatible.
