McIntosh C-29 Brochure

McIntosh engineers could not be content with another preamplifier
New concepts, new technology has produced a preamplifier that gives you flexibility.
C 29 DIVERSIFIED FLEXIBILITY
1. YOU CHOOSE FROM EIGHT DIFFERENT PROGRAM SOURCES
The input switch selects from six different
sources or you can choose to listen to either of two tape recorders at the push of a button.
2. PRECISION STEP ATTENUATOR
VOLUME CONTROL
Ideal volume free performance are two of the considerable benefits of the McIntosh Precision Step At­tenuator. It is a thirty-two step, 70 dB range con­trol with unheard of tracking accuracy within 1 dB. The extreme accuracy is obtained through special electronically controlled 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.
3. AUTO TURN ON/TURN OFF
Power to the entire stereo system can be controll-
ed from either the front panel power switch or the
control
tracking accuracy and noise
turntable's power switch. A current sensing connected to the turntable AC power outlets is controlled by the turntable power switch. The relay, in turn, controls the AC power to the mainder of the system.
4. STEPPED TONE CONTROLS INDEPENDENT IN EACH CHANNEL
Settings are precise and repeatable in each chan-
nel, independently. 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.
