McIntosh Automotive: The Vehicles

Iconic Design. Our collaboration with Jeep^® captures all the authenticity of both brands, bringing McIntosh design language into the luxury of customized Jeep interiors to make listeners feel more at home than ever before in a vehicle. McIntosh Entertainment Systems bring all the beauty of the iconic styling cues and industrial design of McIntosh Home Audio Systems to the driving experience. Each cabin sets the mood with ambient light settings in McIntosh blue, the iconic blue meters front and center, illuminated McIntosh logos on the door speakers, tactile coin-ridged controls and the aluminum frames that have made McIntosh instantly recognizable to audiophiles around the world.

Sound Signature. Just like our legendary Home Audio Systems, the collaboration between McIntosh and Jeep ensures select vehicles are customized to deliver crisp, high-quality sonic reproduction with low distortion and the rapid response audiophiles have come to expect from McIntosh. Set within the sumptuous luxury of a Jeep cabin, McIntosh engineers have created the ultimate soundstage with perfectly placed speakers and finely-tuned base. Here every seat is a sweet spot and all passengers feel like they are in the middle of the performance. Like a personal concert hall for the road, this is the perfection of our signature sound–the smooth sound of McIntosh.

Sound Philosophies. McIntosh is the premier designer and manufacturer of high-fidelity audio equipment. As the company ventures out on the road, each McIntosh Entertainment System is still designed to honor McIntosh philosophies on sound. With Precise Imaging, Natural Dynamics, Harmonic Richness, and Vibrant Musicality as our core four philosophies, we not only build for sound, we are Made of Sound. In our quest for perfection, these philosophies are realized through our innovations, patents, and trademarks. All of our McIntosh Entertainment Systems feature many of our long-trusted McIntosh home audio technologies including Low Distortion/High Performance (LD/HP^®) and Power Guard^® now perfected for the road.

The McIntosh Difference. As a company, McIntosh is all about innovation. From our historic moments at the 1969 Woodstock Festival and the famed Grateful Dead Wall of Sound in 1974, we’ve been changing the way great music is delivered. Now, as we collaborate with the legendary Jeep brand, we’re taking sound on the road again in new ways and into new territories with the Jeep Wagoneer S – the first EV with McIntosh onboard. The quiet of the EV cabin creates a natural soundstage for both the engineer to create and the listener to enjoy as it lacks the noise of an ICE (internal combustion engine) for a sound system to overcome. It’s the perfect environment to produce the clarity, balance, and presence that truly moves people like only McIntosh sound can.

In-Vehicle App. To achieve the full McIntosh experience, simply pull up the McIntosh App from the list of Apps. Listeners will not only be enveloped in an immersive and sensational acoustic experience with flawless sound, but the app is the only way to experience the total integration of the iconic blue meters dancing rhythmically to the audio signals. These innovative digital simulations perfectly emulate the analog version of the legendary McIntosh Home Audio – a symbol of global renown for McIntosh electronics. With Jeep Wagoneer S, true audiophiles can now take the luxury of the McIntosh Home Audio experience on the road with music that has zero coloration, for sound that is true and pure, just as the artist intended.

MX1200 Reference Entertainment System Overview. The MX1200 Entertainment System is powered by a 24-channel premium amplifier that sends up to 1,200 watts to 19 optimally placed speakers, based on the speakers’ individual needs. All coaxial speakers in the MX1200 are actively driven, and each have a 3.5" midrange and a 1" tweeter with a dedicated amp channel. The impressive 12" dual voice coil subwoofer is one of the highest performing subwoofers in the industry for music you can feel. Taken together, the subwoofer and rearmost coaxial speakers are in such amazing alignment that – even when standing outside the Wagoneer S by the open lift gate – you still enjoy a full range stereo experience. Sports fans and music festival goers will find this superior dimension of mobile sound takes the concept of tailgating to a whole new level.
