THERE IS ONE COSMEETIC BLEMISH. THERE IS IA SCRATCH ON THE TOP OF THE FACEPLATE WHICH YOU CAN SEE IN ONE OF THE PICTURES

■ C48 is the ultimate McIntosh preamplifier value, bridging the two worlds of conventional analog stereo source with the latest digital music sources.

■ Offers control of 8 analog sources including phono cartridges, plus 4 additional programmable digital inputs and one dedicated USB computer music input.

■ Unique features include home theater pass through, amplifier meter light control and RS232 software upgradability.

■ Five band tone controls that may be actively programmed by input, moving coil and moving magnet phono sections are fully adjustable from the remote control volume control.

Inverted Double-Chassis Design:

All analog signals and amplification are nestled into the top section, protected from any noise generated by the power supply or digital circuits that are contained in the bottom section. This achieves the performance of adual-box component with the convenience of a single-chassis component and provides for ultra-short cabling between sections.

Silent Electromagnetic Switching:

Signal routing is accomplished through digital controlled electromagnetic switching

devices. Precision switch contact, isolated from environmental contamination inside inert gas-filled tubes, provide the most reliable, quietest and lowest distortion switching possible.

VRV (Variable Rate Volume) Digital Controlled Attenuator:

The output attenuator controls volume over 214 steps of 0.5dB each with accuracy within 0.1dB. The volume vs. rotation rate varies as preamplifier gain varies and attenuation changes occur at the zero crossings of the

audio signal to prevent audible artifacts during adjustment.

Frequency Response:

+0, -0.5dB from 20Hz to 20kHz

+0, -3.0dB from 15Hz to 100kHz

Total Harmonic Distortion:

0.002% maximum from 20Hz to 20kHz

Rated Output Voltage:

Unbalanced Outputs 1 & 2: 2.5Vrms

Balanced Outputs 1 & 2: 5 Vrms

Maximum Voltage Output:

Unbalanced Outputs 1 & 2: 8 Vrms

Balanced Outputs 1 & 2: 16 Vrms
