McIntosh has announced the launch of its new MHT300 Home Theatre Receiver, an uncompromising 7.2 channel home theatre powerhouse, set to transform home theatre dreams into reality.

The MHT300 is an unmatched receiver that offers 120 – 150 Watts of legendary McIntosh power to every speaker with all seven channels being driven. For every explosion, car chase, high-speed fighter jet flyby, to the roar of the crowd after a game winning score, the MHT300 will faithfully reproduce the action with full power on every speaker. It also supports breathtaking 8K/60Hz and 4K/120Hz video on all 4 of its HDMI inputs and 1 HDMI output so the image will feel as realistic as the sound.

With consumer experience at the forefront of the brand’s values, the MHT300 was created to not only provide unparalleled sound, but to be customisable and expandable. Its individual amplifier modules can be configured in a multitude of ways to suit any specific speaker configuration and additional external amplifiers can be connected to power the included Height 1 and Height 2 audio outputs, effectively turning the MHT300 into a 7.2.4 home theatre receiver. State-of-the-art Dirac Live® Room Correction enables users to optimise their sound systems and adjust their audio output to the unique acoustics of the space.

“Considering the increase in video streaming services over the last decade, we are excited to share our latest innovation in home theatre with our customers for them to better enjoy their entertainment in the comfort of their home,” said McIntosh President Charlie Randall. “We look forward to seeing the positive impact the MHT300 will have on consumers’ at-home viewing and listening experiences.

The MHT300 includes traditional McIntosh design cues such as their signature black glass front panel, an illuminated McIntosh logo, rotary control knobs, and a familiar form factor highlighted by silver trim all in a robustly built and durable chassis.
