Now you can take advantage of traditional McIntosh
standards of excellence in the MA5300 Integrated
Amplifier. The Power Amplifier section of the
MA5300, with a power output of 100 watts per chan-
nel, will drive a pair of quality Loudspeakers to a high
level of performance.
The flexible Preamplifier section provides connec-
tions for various input sources and may also be used to
drive an external Power Amplifier(s).
The MA5300 reproduction is sonically transparent
and absolutely accurate. The McIntosh Sound is “The
Sound of the Music Itself.”
Introduction
Performance Features
• Power Output
The MA5300 consists of 100 watts (8 ohm) or 160
watts (4 ohm) per channel Stereo Power Ampli-
fier with less than 0.005% distortion. The McIntosh
MA5300 is designed for connection of a single 8 ohm
or 4 ohm Loudspeaker per channel. The Power Ampli-
fier uses ThermalTrak
1
Output Transistors for lower
distortion and cool operation.
• Power Guard
The patented McIntosh Power Guard circuit prevents
amplifier clipping and protects your valuable Loud-
speakers.
• Sentry Monitor and Thermal Protection
McIntosh Sentry Monitor power output stage protec-
tion circuits ensure the MA5300 will have a long and
trouble free operating life. Built-in Thermal Protection
Circuits guard against overheating.

• Electronic Switching and Balanced Connections
The Preamplifier uses Logic Circuits Controlled
Electromagnetic Switches on all inputs and operating
functions for reliable, noiseless, distortion free switch-
ing. There is a Balanced Input for connection of a
source component.
• Digital Audio Inputs
The Digital Inputs decode PCM and DSD Signals
from external sources. Coaxial and Optical Inputs
process Digital Signals up to 192kHz with 24-Bit
resolution. The Digital MCT Input Circuitry directly
decodes SACD/CD signals from an external Trans-
port component. The USB Input for streaming audio
processes Digital Signals up to 384kHz with 32-Bit
resolution, decodes up to DSD256 Digital Signals and
DXD 24-Bit with a sampling rate up to 384kHz.
• Moving Magnet Phono Inputs
The MA5300 Moving Magnet Input Circuitry uses
the latest design to provide the lowest possible noise,
distortion and flat frequency response.
• Tone Controls
The Bass and Treble Trim Controls provide up to
12dB of boost or cut. The MA5300 remembers the
Bass and Treble Setting for each input.
• Multifunction Display and Power Meters
The Front Panel Display indicates source selection,
volume levels and setup functions. The Illuminated
Power Output Meters are peak responding, and indi-
cate the power output of the amplifier.
• PassThru Mode
The Automatic PassThru Mode allows the MA5300
to become part of a Multichannel Sound System for
DVD-Audio, SACD and Home Theater Movies.
• Power Control Output and Trigger Assignment
A Power Control connection for convenient Turn-On
of McIntosh Power Amplifiers, Source Components
and Accessories is included. The Power Control Trig-
ger Ouputs may be assigned to activate when a given
Input/Output is selected.
• Remote Control
The Data Ports together with the supplied Remote
Control provide control of McIntosh Source Compo-
nents connected to the MA5300.
• Special Power Supply
The large Power Transformer, multiple filter capaci-
tors with 60 Joules of Energy Storage and regulated
Power Supply ensure stable noise free operation even
though the power line varies.
• McIntosh Custom Binding Posts
McIntosh Patented gold plated output terminals deliver
high current output. They accept large diameter wire
and spade lugs. Banana plugs may also be used only in
the United States and Canada.
• Glass Front Panel
The famous McIntosh Illuminated Glass Front
Panel uses long life Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs)
to ensures the pristine beauty of the MA5300 will be
retained for many years.
