24 Bit DSP Processing and Conversion

Three 24 Bit Digital Signal Processors decode Dolby Pro

Logic, Dolby Digital and DTS signals. Six 24 Bit digital to

analog converters change the digital audio channels to ana-

log. Two 24 Bit analog to digital converters change all ana-

log input stereo signals to digital.

·

Digital Audio Input Switching

Three Digital Coaxial and three Digital Optical inputs are

provided for six different digital program sources.

·

On Screen Displays

A comprehensive On-Screen Display capability makes it

easy to perform a setup adjustments using the MX132 Re-

mote Control.

·

Audio/Video Inputs

Eleven Audio/Video inputs plus the Tuner provide for all

popular program sources. Reliable, noiseless, distortion

free electronic switching is used on all inputs.

·

Automatic Mode Switching

The MX132 automatically switches operating modes be-

tween Stereo, Pro-Logic, Dolby Digital or DTS, according

to the input signal.

·

Re-Assignable Input Selection

The 11 Analog A/V and 6 Digital Audio Inputs can be reas-

signed for any desired signal sources. Any unused input

can be “turned off” so the input selector will skip over it.

All six digital inputs can be assigned to any A/V signal

source.

·

External IR Sensors

Rear panel connections are provided for external McIntosh

Keypads for either Zone A or Zone B.

and DTS decoding combined with complete audio and

video switching. The McIntosh MX132 sets new standards

for accuracy in a home theater system.

·

LED Channel Status Indicators

The MX132 includes thirteen LED’s on the front panel to

indicate what type of operating signals are being received

and the output format chosen.

·

Pure Stereo Outputs

When stereo operation is selected for an analog source,

pure, unprocessed stereo signals appear at the left and right

front outputs.

·

Adjustable Channel Level

A built-in test signal generator allows all six channels to be

calibrated for precise volume levels with either automatic

or manual channel switching.

·

Adjustable Time Delay

All six channels can be adjusted for time delay to compen-

sate for different distances from each loudspeaker to the

listening area.

·

Precision Tracking Volume Control

An electronic Volume Control adjusts all six channels with

tracking accuracy better than 0.5dB.

·

Digitally Controlled Tone Control

Digitally controlled bass, treble and loudness analog cir-

cuits provide a wide range of tone shaping with no loss in

traditional McIntosh sonic excellence.

·

Composite / S Video Switching

Any Composite video input can be configured to send its

video signal to the S Video output in addition to the Com-

posite Video output.

·

External Six Channel Inputs

An external six channel signal processor can be connected

to these inputs as well as a DVD player with a built-in pro-

cessor.

·

Zone Expansion

A rear panel connector is provided to interface with the

CR12 Remote Control System to add four additional Re-

mote A/V zones.

·
