Production takes place in Binghamton, New York, where the carefully selected components are also assembled by experienced engineers.
McIntosh Laboratory, founded in 1949 by Frank H. McIntosh and Gordon Gow, is located in Binghamton, New York. In 1965, McIntosh amplifiers were used during President Lyndon B. Johnson's inauguration speech. In 1969, twenty McIntosh MC3500 tube amplifiers provided the sound for the Woodstock festival. In 1974, the Grateful Dead used 48 McIntosh MC2300 amplifiers for their "Wall of Sound" system. In 1990, McIntosh was acquired by Clarion, followed by a takeover by D&M Holdings in 2003. In 2022, the company was sold to a private equity firm. McIntosh is known for its black glass front panels and blue VU meters.
