Our amplifiers have been used at many historic events including presidential inaugurations and Woodstock, as well as in landmark sound systems like the Grateful Dead's Wall of Sound and Despacio. From that heritage comes a true one-of-a-kind home audio amplifier only we could dream of, design and build as the ultimate solution for bi-amping loudspeakers: the McIntosh MC901 Dual Mono Amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MC901 is a monoblock amplifier that drives a single speaker. But it is unlike any other monoblock amplifier. What makes the MC901 so unique is that it's two amplifiers combined into one. Adding to the uniqueness is that each amplifier is of differing design philosophies: the MC901 consists of a 300 Watt vacuum tube amplifier attached to a 600 Watt solid-state amplifier on one unified chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 300 Watt vacuum tube portion powers the speaker's mid and upper drivers via eight KT88 output tubes, plus four 12AT7 and two 12AX7A signal tubes; the solid-state section delivers 600 Watts of dedicated power to the power-hungry woofers. The 300 Watt vacuum tube amp in the MC901 uses our patented Unity Coupled Circuit output transformer – the same technology McIntosh was founded on in 1949 – to deliver its full 300 Watts into almost any speaker regardless if it has 2, 4, or 8 Ohm impedance. Similarly, the 600 Watt solid-state amp delivers its full 600 Watts into a 2, 4, or 8 Ohm impedance speaker via our Autoformer™ technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 300 Watt vacuum tube portion powers the speaker's mid and upper drivers via eight KT88 output tubes, plus four 12AT7 and two 12AX7A signal tubes; the solid-state section delivers 600 Watts of dedicated power to the power-hungry woofers.

It also required an external crossover, along with a lot of trial and error, to properly configure the two detached amplifiers so they worked together as best as possible. The MC901 solves this issue thanks to its internal, adjustable crossover with the controls easily accessible on the top of the unit. These adjustable crossover filters allow you to optimize the performance of both amplifier sections to your listening preferences. Relative gain levels for each amplifier section can be adjusted from -6dB to + 3dB. A direct feed can also be connected to each amplifier section, thus bypassing the filters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike virtually all McIntosh amplifiers, the MC901 features an iconic \"McIntosh Blue\" Wattmeter, which has come to be recognized around the world as a symbol of quality home audio. And just like the MC901 itself is a new design, so too is its meter with the introduction of our new DualView™ Power Output Meter. The DualView meter features two of our traditional, fast responding mechanical meters stacked above and below each other in a single meter window; one meter is dedicated to the 300 Watt vacuum tube amp and the other to the 600 Watt solid-state amp. Each meter operates independently of the other and displays the real-time power reading of each amplifier section.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile an entirely new design, the MC901 comes with the technology one would expect from a McIntosh amplifier:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower Guard\u003csup\u003e®\u003c\/sup\u003e that monitors and adjusts the input signal in the 600 Watt solid-state amplifier section in real-time, then makes unobtrusive adjustments to prevent harsh sounding distortion and potential speaker damaging clipping.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower Guard Screen Grid Sensor™ (SGS). The 300 Watt vacuum tube amplifier section of the MC901 breaks new ground as it's our first amplifier to feature our new Power Guard SGS™ technology. Power Guard SGS helps prevent premature vacuum tube failure by monitoring the screen grid current in the KT88 output vacuum tubes. If the current becomes too high, a circuit in Power Guard SGS is activated which then dynamically attenuates the input signal in real-time to keep the vacuum tubes operating at safe levels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSentry Monitor™ observes the output current and shuts the amplifier off if it ever exceeds safe limits.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuad Balanced design that cancels virtually all noise and distortion that may have crept into the audio signal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower Control that can send power on\/off signals to other connected McIntosh components for easy system power up and shutdown.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOur patented, gold-plated Solid Cinch™ speaker binding posts that easily and securely attach the speaker cables.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMcIntosh Monogrammed Heatsinks™ that are connected to advanced high current output transistors efficiently cool the solid-state amplifier section.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOur Power Management System that will turn the entire unit off after a set amount of time when no input signal has been detected.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough the MC901 may look different than any McIntosh product before it, a quick glance reveals signature McIntosh design cues.

Three years of relentless questioning, iterative design and a point blank refusal to accept no as an answer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePERFORMANCE FIRST ENGINEERING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduct engineers often begin with what exists already. They might ask how something can work better, or where improvements can be made. With Statement, we started with a blank sheet of paper and a vision: to create the ultimate amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the initial concept stage the engineering team set aside practical considerations and began to map out the product in free space. This creative freedom was then backed up by 3D computer models which confirmed the optimum position for each component.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo accommodate this new layout Statement pioneers a new vertical structure. It was the best way to minimise electromagnetic and mechanical interference and maximise thermal performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDUALITY IN DESIGN\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStatement's radically different aesthetic may seem like a departure from Naim Audio tradition but it's the ultimate expression of everything we represent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe imposing monolithic structure with its stark silhouette is offset by the organic sculptural flow of the heat sink and the beautifully lit volume control and central divide. This duality in the design reflects how our pursuit of technical brilliance is always grounded in the abstract human experience of music. If it's the best amplifier in the world in lab tests we’ve only done half a job - it's in the listening room where it really counts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTECHNOLOGY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverything about Statement is a leap forward in technology and design. It's been engineered from the ground up for pure performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISOLATION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStatement perfectly represents our philosophy of providing the highest quality power supply, while isolating individual sections to avoid unwanted interference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe NAC S1 and NAP S1 share the same fundamental layout. The noisy power supply is housed in the base and sensitive electronics are nestled above. Each section is divided by an acrylic centre-piece that blocks interaction. Top section electronics are separated further still, with internal chambers isolating individual stage\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDUAL POWER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Statement NAP S1 features a new bridged dual design with zero global feedback. The two stages are physically separated to optimise the amplifier circuit with the delicate voltage stage at the very top of the power amplifier, away from the current stage at the bottom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach mono power amplifier uses a huge 4000VA transformer to power speakers with precisely 746W (into 8 ohms). Precision engineering also makes sure every single watt is delivered right to where it's needed, when it's needed. After all, power is nothing without purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCRAFT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery component, curve and connection in Statement demanded new levels of engineering and tolerance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMETALLURGY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe distinctive ‘wave’ heat sinks begin life as a solid billet of untreated aluminium, which is cut to size and machined to achieve the curved profile. The fins are then cut using a five-axis, temperature-controlled, CNC machine. It takes three hours for the finished shape to emerge. Once each piece is individually machined, it is painstakingly hand-polished and quality inspected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISHING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the inspection process, the metalwork is submerged in baths of cleansing acid and then into a bath of electrolyte fluid containing black ink. A current is passed through it, bonding the ink to the metalwork and creating Naim Audio's signature black finish. It took several months of collaboration between our engineers and suppliers to achieve the finish Statement demanded.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHAND-CRAFTING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStatement has been designed and developed using cutting-edge manufacturing technology. But it takes a human touch to get things just right. For example, every sound-critical component is positioned and soldered by hand by our skilled technicians.
