or more than a decade McIntosh has offered multizone systems distinguished not
only by musical excellence but also by operating ease and adaptability. A
McIntosh multizone A/V system integrates seamlessly with non-McIntosh products
and can be scaled for any size installation. If you love music and you want
McIntosh performance, a multizone system gives you more of both. But it’s also a
smart investment, as it uses just one set of audio and video sources to supply any
number of rooms or areas in your home. The CR12 Multizone A/V Control Center and the
MC7108 8-Channel Power Amplifier go together like hand in glove, offering abundant
possibilities for a house-wide entertainment system with true McIntosh performance.
FOUR INDEPENDENT ZONES (CR12). The CR12 is four audio/video preamps in one
chassis, each with its own input selector, volume control, and tone controls. For example,
you can listen to FM stereo in one zone, CD in a second, watch satellite in a third, and
watch a DVD movie in a fourth – all at the same time. In addition, a local “private” A/V
source can be connected for each zone for use only by that zone. As many as six CR12s
can be linked (“cascaded”) for a total of 24 independent A/V zones.
CONTROL DATA OUTPUTS (CR12). To facilitate system integration, the CR12 outputs
control data for source components. This allows remote operation of non-McIntosh components
either by direct connection to compatible data inputs or via a McIntosh Remote Translator.
REMOTE POWER CONTROL (CR12 + MC7108). The MC7108 receives power on/off
data via its single cable link to the CR12. In addition, power control jacks provide the
same capability when the units are not linked. A special multipin jack on the CR12 connects
to the PC3 AC Power Controller, which coordinates power on/off of zone amps, audio
sources, and video components.
