The MX136 is a complete system control center that combines the legendary McIntosh
analog two-channel performance with the latest digital audio and video signal processing
and source switching.
Four HDMI digital video inputs and five Component video inputs are assignable to any of
the eleven audio/video inputs. All A/V inputs may be renamed. All standard definition video
signals can be transcoded to digital HDMI for ease of connection and optimum picture
quality. A high bandwidth HDMI switching module insures seamless 1080p signal routing.
Audiophiles need not give up sound quality for flexibility with an MX136. Balanced and
singled-ended audio outputs are supported for all channels. Pure analog and two-channel
bypass modes are provided, as is a low noise MM phono preamp. A multi-channel input is
included. Balanced and unbalanced analog inputs are supported. Three optical and three
coaxial digital audio inputs are provided and assignable to any of the eleven audio/video
inputs. An optional TM-1 AM/FM tuner module is available.
Programming and customization is made easy via a system of on-screen menus. Bass
and treble, loudspeaker level trims as well as surround and music modes are all readily
accessible via the front panel. The MX136 supports two zones of audio and video,
McIntosh power and data control, and is fully RS232 compatible.
