In addition to our experience in the

world of hi-fi we are able to utilise our
expertise in mechanical engineering,
material science, multi-layer printed circuit
boards, fast digital signal processing,
electronic noise suppression, radio
frequency technology and software design
to name but a few.

All these skills are sharpened to compete

in the toughest of all technical sports:
Formula One motor racing.We directly
apply them to enhance high-end audio, for
example material science makes better
audio interconnects and resonant - free
loudspeaker cabinets, suspension
technology decouples better electronics

from the sound field and digital signal
processing makes better home cinema
products. The list is almost endless.

I have been an audiophile for more 

than 30 years, and have used and upgraded
many, many audio systems in that time.
Our aim is sonic perfection combined with
aesthetic delight and solid build quality – a
rare combination in hi-fi but one which TAG
McLaren Audio is already delivering.

It is our technical expertise, combined

with the strongest desire to be the best,
which has produced this hi-technology,
multi channel amplifier 100x5R. Its
development has pushed the boundaries of
refinement in the field of home cinema
further. It perfectly compliments our
excellent AV32R audio-visual processor and
DVD32R dvd player.Whether used for two-
channel stereo or full five channel surround
sound, we are convinced that, with the
100x5R, you will never be disappointed.

TAG McLaren Audio exists

with one

aim in mind: to produce the very best high-
end audio and audio-visual equipment in 
the world.

Like many people, I often have my best

ideas when relaxing to a piece of music or
watching a movie. For years, knowing the
technical capabilities of TAG McLaren, I
have nurtured the ambition to push sound
reproduction to the absolute limit; that’s
why we formed TAG McLaren Audio.

At the core of our development team are

highly experienced electronics engineers
whose heritage of award-winning hi-fi and
world-beating electronic control systems is
envied by many and equalled by few.
