The Sound of Every Story, Told Completely.
A home theater is only as good as the system quietly running it. Home Technology Experts designs and installs the McIntosh MX124 A/V processor for Hamptons estates and Manhattan residences that expect their entertainment to look, sound, and feel as considered as the rest of the home.
A New Standard in Home Cinema, Engineered Without Compromise
The McIntosh MX124 A/V processor is the newest core of a McIntosh-powered home theater — the component that decodes, corrects, and routes everything the room sees and hears before it ever reaches an amplifier or a screen. With 13.4 channels and four dedicated subwoofer outputs, it supports genuinely immersive layouts like 7.4.6 or 9.4.4 Dolby Atmos, and its nine 32-bit DACs bring the studio-grade accuracy McIntosh has built its reputation on for more than 75 years.
For homes in the Hamptons and Manhattan, that matters in very practical ways. Hamptons screening rooms tend to be large, open, and acoustically unforgiving; Manhattan media rooms are often compact and shared with other living space. Both need a processor capable of adapting to the room rather than fighting it — which is exactly what Dirac Live Room Correction, built into the MX124, is designed to do. HTE designs the full network and infrastructure around it so the system stays reliable long after installation day.
Built for Reference-Grade Picture, Sound, and Everyday Use
Every McIntosh MX124 installation from HTE is calibrated on site — not just wired in. Here is what the processor brings to a Hamptons or Manhattan home theater.
13.4-Channel Immersive Audio
Dolby Atmos, DTS:X Pro, Sony 360 Reality Audio, and MPEG-H support, with four subwoofer outputs for bass that stays tight and balanced throughout the room.
8K/60Hz & 4K/120Hz Video
Seven HDMI inputs and three outputs, with Dolby Vision, HDR10+, HLG, and IMAX Enhanced support for picture quality that matches the screen it's driving.
Dirac Live Room Correction
Full Dirac Live and Dirac Live Bass Control licenses included, so the MX124 tunes itself to your room's actual acoustics rather than a factory assumption.
Control4 Certified Integration
Certified Connects with Control4 via SDDP, so the MX124 discovers on the network automatically and joins lighting, shading, and climate in one interface.
High-Resolution Streaming
AirPlay, Bluetooth, Qobuz Connect, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, and Roon Ready — 32-bit/192kHz playback for music, not just movie soundtracks.
Installer-Friendly Setup
Web GUI configuration, pre-configuration and file upload before install day, and backup/restore support — theater downtime stays minimal.
Equipment doesn't make a home theater. Calibration does.
Anyone can rack a processor. What separates a McIntosh MX124 that performs from one that merely sits in a cabinet is the design and calibration work around it — the reason it's worth working with a team that does this every day.
HTE Visits Where the MX124 Is Built
Our design team has toured the McIntosh factory floor directly, seeing firsthand how each processor and amplifier is engineered, tested, and finished before it ever reaches a client's home — a level of hand assembly McIntosh has maintained for more than 75 years. That relationship shapes how we spec, install, and support every McIntosh system we deliver in the HTE Experience Center.
A Home Theater Designed Around the Way You Actually Watch
Whether it's a dedicated screening room in Southampton or a media wall in a Manhattan apartment, HTE designs the McIntosh MX124 installation around your room, your seating, and your collection — not a generic template.
The MX124 gives us the headroom to build a system that grows with a client's room instead of limiting it.Home Technology Experts
From the first design conversation through calibration day, our team handles the pre-wiring, the rack build, the network behind it, and the final Dirac Live tuning — so the only thing left for you to do is press play. ExpertCare service plans keep the system running correctly for years after.

McIntosh MX124 A/V Processor — Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the McIntosh MX124 different from a standard A/V receiver?
The MX124 is a dedicated processor, not a receiver — it handles decoding, room correction, and switching for your theater while separate McIntosh amplifiers do the powering. That separation, along with McIntosh's own analog and digital circuitry, gives it a level of headroom a built-in receiver amplifier can't match.
How many speakers and subwoofers can the MX124 support?
Up to 13.4 channels — 13 speaker channels and 4 dedicated subwoofer outputs — enough for immersive layouts like 7.4.6 or 9.4.4 Dolby Atmos configurations. HTE designs the exact layout around your room's geometry and seating.
Does the MX124 work with our existing Control4 or Lutron system?
Yes. The MX124 is Certified Connects with Control4, using SDDP for automatic discovery, and integrates cleanly alongside Lutron lighting and shading for one-touch scenes — lights, shades, and the theater responding together from a single interface.
What is Dirac Live Room Correction and do we need it?
Dirac Live analyzes your room's acoustics and corrects for the way sound actually behaves in your space — reflections, standing waves, uneven bass. It's included on the MX124 along with Dirac Live Bass Control, and HTE runs the full calibration as part of every installation.
Can the MX124 power a home theater in the Hamptons and a media room in Manhattan the same way?
Yes — the MX124 and the design approach around it travel well between a Hamptons screening room and a Manhattan media wall. What changes is the room treatment and speaker layout, which HTE tailors to each property.
Do we need to replace our whole system to add the MX124?
Not necessarily. The MX124 pairs well with McIntosh amplifiers and many existing high-performance speaker systems. HTE evaluates what you already own during a design consultation and recommends only what actually improves the experience.
