FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Logic Driven Electromagnetic Switching
DIGITAL LOGIC integrated circuits
drive ELECTROMAGNETIC SWITCHES
for the most reliable, lowest distortion
signal switching available today.

Separate Listen and Record Input
Switching

Two independent selectors allow for
recording from one source while
listening to another.

Gold Plated Input and Output Jacks
Gold plating is chosen because of
superior corrosion resistance

Nine Program Source Selections
PHONO/AUX, CD1, CD2, TUNER,
TAPE 1, TAPE 2, TAPE 3, and VIDEO for
both LISTEN and RECORD.

SENSITIVITY

Phono: 25mV tor 2.5V rated output,
(0.5mv IHF)

High Level: ZSOmV for 2.5V rated
output (SOmV lHF).

SIGNAL TO NOISE RATIO,
A-WEIGHTED

Phono: 90dB below 10mV input,
(84dB lHF).

Exclusive McIntosh Tone Control Circuits
The tone control circuits provide 12dB
of BASS or TREBLE boost or cut. At the
center or detent control positions, all
tone control circuit components are
removed from the signal path and the
frequency response is flat.

Active Variable Loudness Compensation
Loudness compensation can be added
at any setting of the VOLUME control
making it independent of program level.
Its circuit elements are removed from the
signal path when the control is fully
counterclockwise.

Dual Processor Loops

Separate processors can be used for
RECORD and LISTEN.

Precision Volume Control

Left and Right sections of the volume
control have accurate channel balance
at all settings.

High Level: 105dB below rated out-
put (95dB IHF).

High Level to Tape: OdB
High Level to Main: ZOdB

TONE CONTROLS
Bass and Treble variable 12dB boost
to 12dB cut

AC POWER OUTPUTS
8 Switched, and 1 unswitched

POWER REQUIREMENTS
120 Volts, 50/60Hz, 15 watts

C-36 AUDIO CONTROL CENTER

Double Shielded Power Transformer
Copper and steel shielding eliminate
hum pickup from the power transformer.

Electronically Regulated Power Supply
Regulators maintain normal operation
even during power line voltage
fluctuations.

Auto Muting

The outputs are muted for 2 seconds
during power up to prevent hearing
annoying clicks and pops generated
by other equipment.

Extra Switched Outputs

Extra switched audio outputs are pro-
vided to feed additional amplifiers for
remote areas.

Headphone Jack
A HEADPHONE JACK and amplifier
are provided for private listening.
