The McIntosh MX200 is an 11.2-channel A/V processor for theaters using separate power amplifiers. Four HDMI inputs and one output support 8K/60Hz and 4K/120Hz video, while Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and Dirac Live cover immersive decoding and room correction.
Why This Model Matters
The MX200 places surround processing in a compact 2U rack-mountable chassis. Eleven balanced main-channel outputs provide connections to external amplifiers, and two discrete subwoofer outputs allow separate bass-channel configuration. Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and HLG support accommodate current video sources. Its function is system control and signal processing, leaving the installer free to select power amplifiers around the front, surround, and height speakers rather than accepting a built-in amplification arrangement.
