C 504 Performance Limits
PERFORMANCE GUARANTEE
Performance limits are the maximum deviation from perfec-
tion permitted for a Mclntosh instrument. We promise you that
when you purchase a new C 504 from a Mclntosh Franchised
dealer it will be capable of performance at or exceeding these
limits or you can return the unit and get your money back.
Mclntosh is the only manufacturer that makes this statement.
