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. For the Consumers Protection: In order to ensure the highest level of customer satisfaction, new McIntosh products may only be purchased over-the-counter or delivered and installed by an Authorized McIntosh Dealer. McIntosh products that are purchased over the Internet, by phone or mail order are presumed to be used and do not qualify for any McIntosh Warranty.

Inverted Double-Chassis Design: All analog signals and amplification are nestled into the top section, protected from any noise generated by the power supply or digital circuits that are contained in the bottom section. This achieves the performance of a dual-box component with the convenience of a single-chassis component and provides for ultra-short cabling between sections. Silent Electromagnetic Switching: Signal routing is accomplished through digital controlled electromagnetic switching devices. Precision switch contact, isolated from environmental contamination inside inert gas-filled tubes, provide the most reliable, quietest and lowest distortion switching possible. 35012401 C50 stereo preamplifier
