YOU CHOOSE FROM SEVEN DIFFERENT
PROGRAM SOURCES

The input switch selects from five different sources
or you can choose to listen to either of two tape re-
corders at the push of a button,

YOU ALWAYS GET THE IDEAL STEREO IMAGE

The Mclntosh seven position mode selector has facilities to
permit the proper balancing of a stereo system to maximize
stereo imaging. It assists in easily restoring proper stereo per
spective should you play an improperly made recording.

TAPE RECORDING AND PLAYBACK MADE EASY

Tape input, tape output and switching facilities are provided
for two three-head tape recorders. Simply push a button to
listen to either one - . or record from any selected source on
either or both - - or - - copy from one tape recorder to another
while listening to an entirely different program. You can instan-
taneously monitor either tape recorder.

LISTEN TO YOUR QUIET RECORDS, QUIETLY

Any unwanted noise (hiss, rumble, fry, etc.) can be reduced
with the four position filter switch. it allows the removal of
low frequency noise, high frequency noise or both yet retaining
as much of the wanted program as possible,

CONTROL REMOTE LOUDSPEAKERS FROM
YOUR PREAMPLIFIER

Through a unique McIntosh design, interconnecting the pre-
amplifier and power amplifier, you have ONIOFF control of two
separate sets of stereo speakers Another advantage of this
unique design is the ability to plug your headphones into a
front panel jack for private listening.

STEPPED TONE CONTROLS INDEPENDENT
IN EACH CHANNEL

Settings are precise and repeatable in each channel, in-

dependently Each tone control is a separate eleven position
switch concentrically mounted. Each step is connected to
carefully selected resistors and capacitors to give the precise
frequency curVe shape. Because the tone circuit component
parts are not in contact with the switch surfaces, as in ordinary
continuously variable rotary controls, they never change, never
get noisy and provide exact, repeatability settings.

YOU CAN LISTEN AT LOW VOLUMES
WITH EQUAL PLEASURE

A continuously variable loudness control lets you enjoy full
frequency response and warmth of music regardless of the
room volume you choose. As volume is reduced, the frequency
response is adjusted to complement the human ear response
characteristics, the Fletcher Munson effect.

THE CONSTANT LOUDNESS
BALANCE CONTROL

The McIntosh balance control adjusts each channel in»
dependently for proper stereo imaging without a modification
of overall stereo volume in the room. While natural balance is
at the center of the control; adjustment to either right or left

. compensates for program variations or room acoustic dif»

ferences.

PRECISION STEP ATTENUATOR
IIOLUME CONTROL

Ideal volume control tracking accuracy and noise free perfor-
mance are two of the considerable benefits of the Mclntosh
Precision Step Attenuator. It is a thirty~two step, 70 dB range
control with unheard of tracking accuracy within 1 dB. The ex
treme accuracy is obtained through special electronically con-
trolled resistance element trimming. The accuracy and quiet
operation are maintained because the switch commutator
touches only the switch contact pad and not the precision
resistor elements.
