MHT300

Home Theater Receiver

The McIntosh MHT300 Home Theater Receiver is an uncompromising 7.2 (or 5.2.2) channel home theater powerhouse solution, which is sure to heighten a customers emotional connection to what they are watching.

With support for breathtaking 8K / 60 Hz and 4K / 120 Hz video and leading home theater surround sound audio formats Dolby® Atmos and DTS:X™, plus delivering 120 – 150 Watts of legendary McIntosh power to home theater speakers, the MHT300 will make any customers home cinema dreams come true.

With the MHT300, the power ratings are for all seven channels being driven. That means every 4 Ohm speaker will receive 150 Watts and every 8 Ohm speaker will receive 120 Watts of heart pounding McIntosh power to bring the user’s favourite movies and video content to life. Every explosion, every car chase, every high-speed flyby of a fighter jet or spaceship, every roar of the crowd after a game winning score will be faithfully reproduced by 120 – 150 Watts on every one of the customer’s speakers.

The MHT300 can grow with the customer’s theater as its individual amplifier modules can be configured in many ways to suit their specific speaker configuration. If someday the customer’s home cinema expands beyond seven channels, additional external amplifiers can be connected to the MHT300 to power them via the Height 1 and Height 2 audio outputs. An external amplifier, such as the McIntosh MI254 4-Channel Amplifier, would be connected to these outputs to drive these additional speakers. This would effectively turn the MHT300 into a 7.2.4 home theater receiver.

Advanced room adjustment and correction is provided via Dirac Live. Dirac Live is an advanced room acoustic solution that enables the installer to optimise the sound systems and reduce unwanted effects introduced by the room.

The MHT300 has 4x HDMI inputs and 1x HDMI output. Each HDMI port is HDCP 2.3 compliant and support 8K / 60 Hz & 4K / 120 Hz. All ports have 40 Gbps of bandwidth and are compatible with High Dynamic Range (HDR) formats Dolby Vision™, HDR10 and HLG; 4:4:4 colour spacing; Rec. 2020; and 3D video pass-through. The HDMI output features enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC) functionality. Seven premium 32-bit Digital-to-Analog Converters (DACs) provide audiophile grade processing.

Setup and configuration are easily performed via computer interface. To save time, the installer can pre-configure the unit before bringing it to the home and then simply load the configuration file at installation.
