FLEXIBILITY IS A DESIGN REQUIREMENT AT MclNTOSH Careful attention to customer needs, attention to changes in customer use, and constant exper- imentation in new methods makes the Mclntosh C 26 preamplifier the most responsive to cus- tomer needs. Control of remote loudspeaker and main sys- tem loudspeakers from the preamplifier is a Mclntosh innovation. With the C 26 you can record on one or two tape recorders, monitor either one or record from one tape recorder to another! A front panel headphone jack for low impedance headphones allows the enjoyment of programs in total privacy- Stepped tone controls, separate in each channel permits the accurate repeatability of settings for any program source. The Mclntosh developed concentric switches give maximum flexibility in each channel without unnecessary clutter and complication. Continuously variable loudness compensation allows the exact amount of compensation to suit your taste at any loudness level. Add high frequency and low frequency filters, a six-position input selector, seven-position mode selector, center channel level control, phase control and a balance control that does not affect the total loudness in the listening room and you have the useful flexibility Mclntosh has de- signed in the C 26. Added to these values is the complete protection from all service cost for three full years and you know why the Mclntosh C 26 is the best value in a solid state preamplifier, anywhere.
