The MA5300 Anniversary 45 AC integrated amplifier is McIntosh's proof that big sound can be made available in a compact space. As the smallest integrated amplifier in terms of output power and physical size, it is an ideal choice for smaller rooms, or for someone just starting to immerse themselves in the McIntosh sound world.

The MA5300 Anniversary 45 AC is a direct coupled amplifier that delivers 100 watts of McPower per channel to 8 ohm speakers or 160 watts to 4 ohm speakers. New dual scale VU meters provide an accurate display of output power for 4 and 8 ohm impedances. Like its newly launched integrated amplifier brothers, it features the very effective 'McIntosh Monogrammed Heatsinks™', with the molded Mc logo.

With its - at 8 ohms - up to 160 watts of McPower per channel, it is powerful enough to drive a wide variety of loudspeakers with accurate sound and extremely dynamic performance.

The MA5300 Anniversary 45 AC can easily be upgraded with the DA2 DAC module.
