A pair of McIntosh Autoformers, one on each side of the power transformer, matches the amplifier to the loudspeaker so the full rated power is available whatever the load impedance. Replacing the MA8900, the MA8950 doubles filter capacity, lifting dynamic headroom from 2.0 dB to 3.1 dB for better peak reproduction and bass control, and upgrades the power supply components for lower noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFifteen inputs cover eight analogue and seven digital. One balanced and six unbalanced analogue inputs sit alongside separate moving coil and moving magnet phono inputs, the moving coil with adjustable loading. The DA2 digital module, standard on this model in place of the MA8900's DA1, adds two coaxial, two optical, USB with DSD512 and DXD support, an MCT connection for McIntosh transports, and HDMI ARC for television audio. A discrete 5-band analogue tone control adjusts in 2 dB steps, and Power Guard, Sentry Monitor and the McIntosh Blue watt meters complete the specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color:#0F527F;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e200 watts per channel into 2, 4 or 8 ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaired McIntosh Autoformers for constant power across impedances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDynamic headroom of 3.1 dB from doubled filter capacity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparate MM and MC phono inputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDA2 digital module with 32-bit\/384 kHz quad balanced DAC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB supporting DSD512 and DXD 384 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHDMI ARC input for television audio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMCT input for McIntosh SACD and CD transports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscrete 5-band analogue tone control in 2 dB steps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower Guard and Sentry Monitor protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMcIntosh Blue watt meters and illuminated logo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpgraded power supply for lower noise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color:#0F527F;\"\u003eWarranty\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis product comes with a 3-year manufacturer warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color:#0F527F;\"\u003eWhy Consider the McIntosh MA8950\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MA8950 carries the same 200 watt rating as the MA7200 but adds the higher dynamic headroom from its doubled filter capacity, a 5-band tone control in place of simple bass and treble, and a more substantial chassis. The Autoformer pair means the full 200 watts is available into 2, 4 and 8 ohms alike, so loudspeaker impedance stops being a limiting factor. For a system that needs real power and a complete input set without stepping up to the MA9500's size and cost, this is the middle of the McIntosh integrated
