General Information and Connector Information

General Information

1.For additional connection information, refer to the owner’s manual(s) for any component(s) connected to the C2600 Tube Preamplifier.

2.The Main AC Power going to the C2600 and any other McIntosh Component(s) should not be applied until all the system components are connected together. Failure to do so could result in malfunctioning of some or all of the system’s normal operations. When the C2600 and other McIntosh Components are in their Standby Power Off Mode, the Microprocessor’s Circuitry inside each component is active and communication is occurring between them.

3.Balanced and Unbalanced Inputs and Outputs can be mixed. For example, you may connect signal sources to Unbalanced Inputs and send signals from the Balanced Outputs. You can also use Balanced and Unbalanced Outputs simultaneously, connected to different Power Amplifiers.

4.The C2600 internal Digital to Analog Converter

Circuitry is designed to decode 2-channel PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) and DSD (Direct Stream Digital) Digital Signals. The Coaxial and Optical Digital Audio Inputs are for PCM Digital Signals. The Digital DIN and USB Audio Inputs are for PCM and DSD Digital Signals. Other Digital Audio Signal Format Types will cause the Audio Outputs of the C2600 to be muted and the Front Panel Information Display will indicate an error message.

5.Sound Intensity is measured in units called Decibels and “dB” is the abbreviation.

6.The McIntosh C2600 is factory configured for immediate use. It can also be customized to complement the components making up your system. Refer to the C2600 “Setup Mode” starting on page 13 for additional information.

7.The Remote Control Supplied with the C2600

Preamplifier is capable of operating other components. For additional information go to www. mcintoshlabs.com.

8.The IR Input, with a 3.5mm mini phone jack, is configured for non-McIntosh IR sensors such as a Xantech Model DL85K Kit. The signal from a connected External IR Sensor will have priority over the signal from the Front Panel IR Sensor.

9.When discarding the unit, comply with local rules or regulations. Batteries should never be thrown away or incinerated but disposed of in accordance

with the local regulations concerning battery disposal.

10. For additional information on the C2600 and other McIntosh Products please visit the McIntosh Web Site at www.mcintosh- labs.com.

Introduction and Performance Features

Introduction

The McIntosh C2600 Tube Preamplifier is one of the finest Preamplifiers ever created with connections for both analog and digital sources. The C2600 Outputs have the ability to drive multiple Power Amplifiers. The C2600 reproduction is sonically transparent and absolutely accurate. The McIntosh Sound is “The Sound of the Music Itself.”

Performance Features

• Electromagnetic Input Switching with Level Trim Adjustment

Digital Logic Circuits drive Electromagnetic Switches on all Inputs and operating functions for reliable, noiseless, distortion free switching. The Analog Inputs can be matched in level, preventing abrupt changes in volume levels.

Moving Coil and Moving Magnet Phono Inputs

The C2600 has two precision Phono Preamplifier

Circuits, one for Moving Coil Phono Cartridges and the other for Moving Magnet Cartridges. Both phono inputs have selectable loading. The circuits use the latest designs providing the lowest possible noise and distortion. The close tolerance resistors and capacitors used in the RIAA Correction Equalization Circuitry provides an extremely flat frequency response.

Digital Audio Inputs

The Digital Inputs decode PCM and DSD Signals from external sources. Coaxial and Optical Inputs process Digital Signals up to 192kHz with 24-Bit resolution. The Digital MCT Input Circuitry directly decodes SACD/CD signals from an external Transport component. The USB Input for streaming audio processes Digital Signals up to 384kHz with 32Bit resolution, decodes up to DSD256 Digital Signals and

DXD 24Bit with a sampling rate up to 384kHz.

• Balanced Inputs

The Balanced Inputs allow the connection of a source component using long cable lengths without a loss in sound quality.

• Precision Tracking Volume Control

Volume levels are controlled by a Precision Balanced

Digitally Controlled Attenuator System with an Optical Encoder Rotary Control. This assures a 0.1dB tracking accuracy between channels. There are 214 individual 0.5dB volume level steps with no noise as the volume level is changed.

Variable Rate Volume and Balance Controls

The C2600 Preamplifier’s Volume and Balance Control Circuitry provides an ideal rate of change with control rotation.

Electronic Tone Controls with Bypass

Electronic Bass and Treble Circuitry allow volume level adjustments for low and high frequencies in precise one Decibel Steps. The C2600 remembers the

Tone Control Circuitry Bypass Option for each input.

HXD® for Headphones

The C2600 Headphone Crossfeed Director Circuitry (HXD® ) improves the sound localization for Headphone Listening. HXDTM restores the directionality component of the spatial sound stage normally heard with Loudspeaker listening.

• Alphanumeric Fluorescent Display

The Front Panel Information Display indicates the

Source Selection, Volume/Balance Levels and Setup Mode Selections. The display intensity is adjustable.

• PASSTHRU Mode

The Automatic PASSTHRU Mode allows the C2600 to become part of a Home Theater Multichannel Sound System.

Remote Control with External Sensor Input

The Remote Control provides control of the C2600 operating functions and McIntosh Source Components connected to it. Enjoy your McIntosh System from another room in your home by connecting an external sensor.

Power Control Output and Trigger Assignment

A Power Control connection for convenient Turn-On of McIntosh Power Amplifiers, Source Components and Accessories is included. The Power Control Trigger Ouputs may be assigned to activate when a given Input/Output is selected.

Special Power Supply

Fully regulated Power Supplies and a special R-Core

Power Transformer ensure stable noise free operation even though the power line varies.

• LED Front Panel Illumination

The even Illumination of the Front Panel is accomplished by multiple extra long life Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) arranged with a special orientation.

Glass Front Panel and Super Mirror Chassis Finish

The famous McIntosh Illuminated Glass Front Panel and the Stainless Steel Chassis with Super Mirror

Finish ensures the pristine beauty of the C2600 will be retained for many years.

Installation

Installation

The C2600 can be placed upright on a table or shelf, standing on its four feet. It also can be custom installed in a piece of furniture or cabinet of your choice. The four feet may be removed from the bottom of the C2600 when it is custom installed as outlined below. The four feet together with the mounting screws should be retained for possible future use if the C2600 is removed from the custom installation and used free standing. The required panel cutout, ventilation cutout and unit dimensions are shown.

Always provide adequate ventilation for your C2600. Cool operation ensures the longest possible operating life for any electronic instrument. Do not install the C2600 directly above a heat generating component such as a high powered amplifier. If all the components are installed in a single cabinet, a quiet running ventilation fan can be a definite asset in maintaining all the system components at the coolest possible operating temperature.

A custom cabinet installation should provide the following minimum spacing dimensions for cool operation.

Allow at least 6 inches (15.2cm) above the top, 2 inches (5.1cm) below the bottom and 1 inch (2.5cm) on each side of the Preamplifier, so that airflow is not obstructed. Allow 20 inches (50.8cm) depth behind the front panel. Allow 1-7/16 inch (3.7cm) in front of the mounting panel for knob clearance. Be sure to cut out a ventilation hole in the mounting shelf according to the dimensions in the drawing.
