Great audio tuners are defined in part by their excellent ability to receive a wide range of signals. Recent developments in digital broadcast technology bring a broad array of listening choices before the consumer and force us to reexamine the standards by which audio tuners are judged. Enter the remarkable new MR88 AM/FM/XM/HD Audio Tuner from McIntosh. The McIntosh MR88 excels at receiving traditional AM and FM broadcasts and adds the power of HD Radio™ to produce startling fidelity with an expanded range of programming. With the capability to control a subscription based, outboard XM Satellite Radio Tuner (sold separately), the XM Ready® MR88 accesses the power of satellite radio to complete a palette of unprecedented choice for the consumer. Typical of other fine-quality McIntosh audio components, the MR88 utilizes a linear power supply with a custom-wound R-Core transformer and nested regulation to insure optimum performance of all circuits. The MR88 analog audio output stage offers balanced and single-ended outputs. Coaxial and optical digital audio outputs are also provided. A compelling combination of classic styling and modern digital amenities, the MR88 is equally at home in vacuum tube-based 2-channel stereo systems as well as home theater and multi-room systems. The two line multifunction fluorescent display indicates artist name; station call sign; music genre and song title. The Smooth Acting Weighted Tuning mechanism with Glass Dial and Illuminated Pointer recall the classic McIntosh tuner designs of the 60’s and 70’s, while a full complement of RS232 control with metadata support makes the MR88 the go-to multi-format broadcast audio source for today’s whole-house systems.
