C-36 AUDIO CONTROL CENTER
logic Driven Electromagnetic Switching
DIGITAL lOGICintegrated circuits
drive ELECTROMAGNETIC SWITCHES
for the most reliable, lowestdistortion
signal switching availabletoday.
Separate listenandRecord Input
Switching
Two independent selectorsallowfor
recording fromonesource while
listening toanother.
Gold Plated InputandOutput Jacks
Gold plating ischosen because of
superior corrosion resistance.
Nine Program SourceSelections
PHONO/AUX, CD1,CD2, TUNER,
TAPE 1,TAPE 2,TAPE 3,and VIDEO for
both LISTEN andRECORD.

Mcintosh ToneControl Circuits
The tone control circuits provide 12dB
of BASS orTREBLE boostorcut. Atthe
center ordetent control positions, all
tone control circuitcomponents are
removed fromthesignal pathandthe
frequency responseisflat.
Active Variable loudness Compensation
Loudness compensation canbeadded
at any setting ofthe VOLUME control
making itindependent ofprogram level.
Its circuit elements areremoved fromthe
signal pathwhen thecontrol isfully
counterclockwise.
Dual Processor loops
Separate processors canbeused for
RECORD andLISTEN.
