McIntosh - CR12 - MC7108 - WK9 -Refurbished- Hi-fi set - Multiple models

The CR12 has multiple line- and video inputs, separate zone control, and extensive control options. The MC7108 provides 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 delivered in NOS condition. It is a multi-channel A/V Control Center with four completely independent zones, consisting of four separate McIntosh A/V preamplifiers in one enclosure. The McIntosh CR12 supports a one-cable connection to the McIntosh MC7108 8-channel power amplifier or to a main preamplifier (for example to integrate a CR12 multi-zone system with an MX132-based home cinema system). In addition, it is possible to link up to six CR12 units via a single cable, for a total of 24 fully independent listening zones.

Per zone you can choose from eight shared sources (four audio and four audio/video sources), supplemented by one additional local private A/V source that is available exclusively for that specific zone.

Each zone offers a choice between balanced or unbalanced outputs, separate tone controls, LED status indicators, programmable wake-up settings, and an adjustable output level, including a maximum volume.

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

The power amplifier, MC7108, delivers 8 × 40 watts RMS into 4 ohms when all eight channels are in use simultaneously. In bridge mode, the output power is 100 watts RMS into 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. Total harmonic distortion (THD) is up to 0.005%, while 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 control over the speakers. Thanks to built-in Power Guard technology, clipping is prevented and distortion and speaker load are kept to a minimum even at high volumes.

The set has been professionally refurbished. Documentation of the performed work is available and is included with the sale. Both units function properly and are scratch-free,
