McIntosh Announces MX180 AV Processor with RoomPerfect

McIntosh Labs just announced its latest MX180 A/V Processor, delivering everything needed for the home theater of today and tomorrow. This MX180 is basically the ultimate home theater hub which is able to accommodate all formats, standards and services, from 8K UHD image content with HDR and Dolby Vision, all the way to Dolby Atmos, DTS:X Pro, and Auro-3D immersive audio. For the best results, McIntosh even added RoomPerfect room correction technology licensed from Lyngdorf.

Since it was launched in October 2019, the McIntosh MX123 has become a popular audio and video processor for countless home theaters. It launched with 4K/60Hz compatibility, but as technology has progressed, the company now announced an 8K compatibility upgrade for the MX123 A/V Processor. The upgrade also introduces other enhanced HDMI video features, including expanded HDR and Dolby Vision support.

As many HDMI 2.1 certified products are now on the market, HDMI Licensing Administrator announced the availability of Ultra High Speed cables, essential to creating end-to-end HDMI 2.1 systems. Now consumers can enjoy the latest high performance AV features including 4K@120Hz, 8K@60Hz, Dynamic HDR and eARC support. This development was made possible by the Ultra High Speed HDMI Cable Certification Program (UHS Program) launched by the HDMI Forum, enabling users to identify the cables that are guaranteed to deliver the full benefits of the HDMI 2.1 specification.
