C45

Audio Control Center

Promotional Highlights

The C45 Audio Control Center was designed for
the music lover. Ultra-short signal paths in con­junction with state-of-the-art silent electro­magnetic switching has virtually eliminated
preamp noise. The C45 also includes a high
performance phono input for your turntable.
Dual Six-channel inputs allow control of the latest
multi-channel audio formats when used with
source components that provide the decoding.
These multi-channel formants include DVD­Audio, SACD, Dolby Digital and DTS
Audio/Video.

Performance Features:

Two 6-Channel Inputs: Provides multi-channel audio

control for source units, such as DVD players, with
built-in decoders. Each 6-channel input is assignable to
any of the eight source inputs.
2-Stage Electronic Volume Control: Volume for each
of the six channels is controlled by an individual 2­stage circuit to maximize dynamic range. The precision
optical encoder uses pulses of light to ensure accuracy
and to eliminate mechanical wear.
Information Display: The large, easy to read display
shows input and volume. Input names can be chosen
from 14 available titles.

Assignable Balanced Input: May be assigned
to any source input, including the front L&R
channels of either 6-channel input.
Balanced Outputs: 6 balanced outputs may be
mixed with any of the 6 unbalanced outputs for
any system configuration.
Ultra Quiet, Precision Phono Section: Record
lovers have not been forgotten. The built-in
moving-magnet (MM) phono section is quiet
and has precise response.
Tone Control Bypass: In addition to bass and
treble controls that individually switch out of
circuit when centered, the entire circuit may be
bypassed
Input Level Trimming: Set the levels of each
of the inputs for more consistent volume when
switching between inputs.

Add a TM-1 AM/FM Tuner Module Inside:

With a TM-1 module added, the C45 becomes a
Tuner/Preamplifier. FM performance is top­notch, and the AM, with the included powered
AM antenna, is amazing.
Fiber-Optic Front Panel Illumination: Cool­running, long-lasting fiber optics illuminate the
front panel.
MSRP: $3,600
