SPECIFICATIONS

The 4401 preamplifier offers tour inde
pendent channels from input to output with
a capability of matrix decoding, discrete
fourchannel, or stereo operation. Signals
from all current program sources, both stereo
and quadraphonic, can be processed by due
4401.

The 4401 incorporates unique phono
preamp circuitry. utilizing MET1 (Minimum
Effective Temperature) circuitry accounting
for the ultra-quiet operation of the phono
preamp. .

Optional circuitry for the SO decoder
and the CD4 demodulator is contained on
easily-installed, plug-in modules.*

Internal provisions for an additional tour-
channel module are provided for yet6to-be-
developed four-channel systems.

The tone control circuits. as well as the
high and low filters, can be used to process
a signal prior to recording. Recordings can
bemade on two tape recorders simultaneous-
ly, and tapes can be copied from either tape
recorder.

The 4401 provides separate jacks for the
connection of external equalizers. A rear
channel equalizer by-pass switch allows
equalization of only the front channels with-
out the use of jumper cables for the rear
channels.

GENERAL

Separate left/right balance controls for both
front and rear channels.

Independent front and rear channel tone
controls.

Baxendall tone control circuits for optimum
frequency contour control.

Output amplifiers capable of driving both
low and high impedance heamhones.

Time delay circuitry eliminating turn-on
transients.

Two-position phono capacitance switch for
optimum matching of conventional or CD4
phono cartridges.

Optional SO decoder and CD4 demodulator
