McIntosh engineers could
not be content with
another preamplifier
New concepts, new technology
has produced a preamplifier that
gives you flexibility.
Look at the great number of ways you can enjoy the C 29
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.
