It supports cutting-edge technologies such as 8K/60Hz and 4K/120Hz video, along with advanced surround sound formats like Dolby Atmos and DTS

. Whether you're watching movies, sports, or gaming, the MHT300 promises to deliver an immersive experience with McIntosh's signature power and precision.

Key Features:

Full Power to All Speakers

Unlike many receivers that provide high power ratings only for a few channels, the MHT300 delivers 120-150 Watts per channel to all seven channels. This ensures that all your speakers—whether 4 Ohm or 8 Ohm—receive maximum power, providing a consistent and powerful listening experience across all channels. From explosive action sequences to subtle background sounds, each speaker will be fully engaged for an immersive theater experience.

Expandable for Future Needs

The MHT300 is highly adaptable and can grow with your home theater setup. If you decide to add more channels in the future, it supports external amplification to expand beyond 7.2 channels. With additional external amplifiers (like the McIntosh MI254), you can easily upgrade to configurations like 7.2.4, adding more height channels for Dolby Atmos or DTS

setups.

State-of-the-Art Room Correction

The MHT300 features Dirac Live® Room Correction, an advanced acoustic solution that optimizes sound by correcting room-related issues.
