McIntosh - CR12 - MC7108 - WK-9 (RC) Hi-fi set - Multiple models

The CR12 features multiple line- and video inputs, separate zone control, and extensive control options. The MC7108 delivers 8 × 40 watts into 4 ohms or 8 × 25 watts into 8 ohms and can be bridged per channel pair up to 100 watts if desired.

The preamplifier (CR12) can be controlled with the WK-9, which is supplied in NOS condition. It is a multi-channel A/V control center with four fully independent zones, consisting of four separate McIntosh A/V preamplifiers in one housing. The McIntosh CR12 supports a one-cable connection with the McIntosh MC7108 8-channel power amplifier or with a main preamplifier (for example to integrate a CR12 multi-zone system with a MX132-based home cinema system). Additionally, it is possible to link up to six CR12 units over a single cable, providing a total of 24 completely independent listening zones.

Per zone you can choose from eight shared sources (four audio- and four audio/video-sources), complemented by one extra local private A/V source that is available only for that specific zone. Each zone offers the choice between balanced or unbalanced outputs, separate tone controls, LED status indicators, programmable wake-up settings, and a adjustable output level, including a maximum volume.

Per zone you can connect up to four control panels (keypads) or infrared sensors. In addition, the CR12 also provides the possibility to remotely control lighting, projection screens, and curtains, making it well suited for integrated multi-room and home automation systems (for this, an MHC1 accessory is required, NOT INCLUDED).

The power amplifier, MC7108, delivers 8 × 40 watts RMS at 4 ohms when all eight channels are used simultaneously. In bridge mode, the output power is 100 watts RMS at 4 ohms per channel pair. It is suitable for speakers with an impedance of 4 or 8 ohms and has a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz with a deviation of only +0 / -0.25 dB. The total harmonic distortion (THD) is a maximum of 0.005%, while the signal-to-noise ratio is 92 dB (A-weighted). With a damping factor of 200 at 8 ohms and 100 at 4 ohms, the amplifier provides excellent speaker control. Thanks to the built-in Power Guard technology, clipping is prevented and distortion and speaker loading are kept to a minimum even at high volumes.

The set has been professionally refurbished. Documentation on the performed work is available and will be included with the sale. Both units operate as intended and are free of scratches.

Pickup is preferred due to the value and weight of the set. However, shipping is possible. All components are individually protected with multiple layers of bubble wrap, foam, and sturdy cardboard, after which they are sent in a double package to prevent transport damage. Shipping is fully insured and professionally packaged. Pickup and listening in Alkmaar, Netherlands (by appointment) is also possible.
