McINTOSH PROTECTION FIRST PROTECTION.... In these dark days of hurry up - percentage analysis - production rush - and limited personal responsibility the McIntosh policy of "Performance Limits" is a bit of bright blue sky. Every McIntosh instrument - - every one - - is tested to be equal to or better than the per- formance limits advertised. When a performance limit of 0.02% harmonic distortion is established for an in- strument, McIntosh means that every, each, all of the instruments manufactured must be capable of per- formance to that limit - or better - - or your full purchase price will be refunded. Here is one of the reasons McIntosh can make this promise: at McIntosh every product is 100% tested for maximum performance. We are not content know- ing that 10% of our products are tested and meet the performance requirements established by our engineer- ing group. We must know that every one meets its requirements. This rigorous pursuit of excellence takes time. At McIntosh more time means more care, more protection for you. There's no production rush at McIntosh. The McIntosh investment in professional testing in- struments is staggering. On a percentage basis McIntosh probably invests more of its sales dollars in testing facilities than anyone else in a like business. For in- stance, McIntosh has one professional distortion an- alyzer for every 10 employees. This kind of statistic is repeated for all sorts of test instruments. As new testing instruments are produced that update the McIntosh ability to know, McIntosh invests in them - - wave form analyzers - real time analyzers - lowest dis- tortion signal generators - etc., etc. Even an FM transmitter so that the entire transmission/reception system can be analyzed. "What does this mean to me?" you ask. Only through this impressive investment; through continu- ous testing and research; through product analysis; and endless measurement can we promise and deliver to you reliability, long life, performance, highest value, and freedom from service.
