McIntosh - CR12 - MC7108 - WK9 -Refurbished- 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 at 4 ohms or 8 × 25 watts at 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 a single chassis. 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-room system with an MX132-based home cinema system). In addition, it is possible to link up to six CR12 units remotely via one 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 an additional local private A/V source that is available exclusively for that specific zone.

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

Up to four control panels (keypads) or infrared sensors can be connected per zone. In addition, the CR12 offers the possibility 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 at 4 ohms when all eight channels are used simultaneously. In bridged 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 range 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 control over the speakers. Thanks to the 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 work performed is available and will be supplied with the sale. Both units operate properly and are scratch-free.

Pickup is preferred due to the set’s value and weight. Shipping is possible, however. 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 is possible in North Holland, Netherlands (by appointment).
