Knobs and rocker switches operate all control functions while modern LED lights indicate input selection and volume level. The <strong>C22 Mk V<\/strong> has two balanced inputs, three unbalanced inputs, one Moving Coil and one Moving Magnet phono inputs, for a total of seven inputs. There are two pairs each of balanced and unbalanced output connections; the two outputs allow sending signals to two separate power amplifiers.<\/p>\n<p>Bypassable bass and treble tone controls are located on the front panel and can be adjusted in 2dB increments via rotary knobs. Impedance and capacitance for the phono inputs can also be adjusted via separate rotary knobs. In addition to setting the listening level, the volume knob can also be used to adjust the relative volume balance between the left and right audio channels. The \u00bc\u201d headphone jack is powered by our High Drive headphone amplifier and features our Headphone Crossfeed Director (HXD\u00ae) technology. HXD improves the sound localization for headphone listening by restoring the directionality component of the sound stage that\u2019s normally only heard from loudspeakers.<\/p>\n<p>Our Power Control technology is included with four ports that can automatically turn other connected <strong>McIntosh<\/strong> components such as amplifiers, CD players or turntables, on and off. Data ports are also present and can control basic functions of connected <strong>McIntosh<\/strong> source components via the included remote control.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>C22 Mk V<\/strong> sits atop a stunning polished stainless steel chassis and features the timeless <strong>McIntosh<\/strong> illuminated logo, control knobs, and aluminum end caps. With its retro black glass and aluminum front panel design, the <strong>C22 Mk V<\/strong> will fit right in with <strong>McIntosh<\/strong> home audio systems of any era \u2013 from the 1950s to current day.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-46700\" src=\"https:\/\/hifimarket.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/McIntosh-C22-Mk-V-Vacuum-Tube-Preamplifier-desc.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1290\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hifimarket.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/McIntosh-C22-Mk-V-Vacuum-Tube-Preamplifier-desc.jpg 1290w, https:\/\/hifimarket.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/McIntosh-C22-Mk-V-Vacuum-Tube-Preamplifier-desc-400x140.jpg 400w, https:\/\/hifimarket.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/McIntosh-C22-Mk-V-Vacuum-Tube-Preamplifier-desc-768x268.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hifimarket.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/McIntosh-C22-Mk-V-Vacuum-Tube-Preamplifier-desc-430x150.jpg 430w, https:\/\/hifimarket.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/McIntosh-C22-Mk-V-Vacuum-Tube-Preamplifier-desc-700x244.jpg 700w, https:\/\/hifimarket.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/McIntosh-C22-Mk-V-Vacuum-Tube-Preamplifier-desc-150x52.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1290px) 100vw, 1290px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This newest version of <strong>McIntosh<\/strong> <strong>C22<\/strong> Vacuum Tube Preamplifier \u2013 the <strong>Mk V<\/strong> \u2013 is the direct replacement to our highly regarded <strong>C70<\/strong> <strong>Limited Edition 70th Anniversary<\/strong> Vacuum Tube Preamplifier, which commemorated our 70th Anniversary that took place in 2019.
