C2200 Vacuum Tube Stereo Preamplifier EIGHT PROGRAMMABLE SOURCE SELECTIONS All eight source selections accommodate unbalanced inputs while four of the eight also accommodate balanced inputs. Any of 12 standard names can be assigned to a source selection and the panel display can be customized to indicate only available sources. SILENT ELECTROMAGNETIC SWITCHING Signal routing is acccomplished through digitally controlled electromagnetic switching devices. Precision switch contacts, isolated from environmental contamination inside inert gas-filled glass tubes, provide the most reliable, quietest and lowest distortion switching possible. VRV (VARIABLE RATE VOLUME) DIGITALLY CONTROLLED ATTENUATOR The output attenuator controls volume over 214 steps of .5dB each with accuracy within .1dB. The volume vs. rotation rate varies as preamplifier gain varies and attenuation changes occur at the zero crossings of the audio signal to prevent audible artifacts during adjustment. TUBE MANAGEMENT AUTO TURN-ON DELAY Outputs are muted until delay circuits sense the tubes are stabilized which prevents exposure to noise generated by other components Vacuum tube design Eight programmable input source selections, four for balanced or unbalanced and four unbalanced only Tape recorder loop Three balanced and three unbalanced outputs, one main and two switched Electromagnetic switching Input level match 12-character blue alphanumeric display for input selection, volume level and menu selection VRV (Variable Rate Volume) with multi-stage precision digitally controlled attenuator system Illuminated output level meters Double shielded power transformer Gold-plated input and output connectors Low noise 1% metal film resistors used throughout IR remote control Component source data ports Front panel headphone jack Three programmable triggers Auto turn-on delay Tube saver FREQUENCY RESPONSE +0, -0.50dB from 20Hz to 20kHz TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION 0.08% maximum from 20Hz to 20kHz RATED OUTPUT 5 Vrms at MAIN and SWITCHED 1 and 2 Balanced Outputs 2.5 Vrms at MAIN and SWITCHED 1and 2 Unbalanced Outputs MAXIMUM VOLTAGE OUTPUT 16.0 Vrms at MAIN and SWITCHED Balanced Outputs 8.0 Vrms at MAIN and SWITCHED Unbalanced OutputsINPUT IMPEDANCE Phono, Moving Magnet: 47K ohms, 65pf High Level: Balanced 44K Ohms Unbalanced 22K Ohms OUTPUT SOURCE IMPEDANCE 500 Ohms balanced 250 Ohms unbalanced SENSITIVITY Phono: 4.5mV for 2.5V out @ 1kHz High Level: 450mV for 2.5V out VOLTAGE GAIN Phono, (MM) to Tape Out: 40dB @ 1kHz Phono to Main Out: 55dB High Level to Tape Out: 0dB High Level to Main Out: 15dBPOWER REQUIREMENTS 100, 120 or 230 VAC, 50-60Hz 70 Watts DIMENSIONS Front panel, 17-1/2 inches (44.4 cm) wide, by 7-5/8 inches (19.3 cm) high.
