McIntosh Introduces Updated MC3500 Mk II Inspired by the Iconic Amplifier Used at Woodstock

McIntosh, the prestigious home entertainment and ultimate-quality audio brand for over 70 years, announced the MC3500 Vacuum Tube Amplifier Mk II, a tribute to the original that inspired a generation of musicians and music fans alike. Originally used to power the sound system for Woodstock '69 amongst other formative music events, the iconic monoblock amp was recreated by McIntosh’s expert team of engineers and designers to include modern upgrades that celebrate the brand’s rich history.

Following the immensely popular and retro styled MA252 and MA352 Integrated Amplifiers, which took design cues from the timeless MC275 Vacuum Tube Amplifier, McIntosh introduced two more matching separates with similar styling: the MC830 Solid State Amplifier and C8 Vacuum Tube Preamplifier. "Featuring styling reminiscent of their 1950s and 1960s designs, the MC830 and C8 are full of modern day technology to produce an amazing home audio experience. When a pair of MC830s are combined with the C8, they can form the foundation of system that can deliver a lifelike home audio experience," McIntosh says.
