 McIntosh C500C  preamplifier controller

The new McIntosh C500 stereo preamplifier is a no-holds-barred, fully balanced, dual- mono design with separate power supplies. Available with solid-state or tube preamplifier electronics, the C500 preamplifier marries outstanding audio performance with flexible user-programmability in a stunning two-chassis solution.Dual R-Core transformers anchor a massive power supply that is the heart of this preamplifier, providing the audio circuits with clean, rock-solid power enough to handle the most demanding musical passages with ease. Moving Coil and Moving Magnet phono preamplifiers are supported in both the solid-state and tube designs. Both feature high open-loop gain enabling the use of negative feedback around the compensation amplifiers for very low noise and distortion and markedly improved RIAA performance.The C500 volume control is a balanced design with a logic-controlled audio taper. This custom attenuator is accomplished via a 4-stage, digitally controlled analog circuit that operates with 16 bit precision. Exceptional tracking accuracy guarantees that common noise and distortion rejection are maximized. The second stage of this control adjusts the gain of the output amplifier towards unity as the attenuation of the first stage is increased. The result is very low distortion and wide dynamic range.Four matched, discrete-component amplifiers comprise the fully balanced line stage, delivering a staggering 25VRMS to the balanced outputs, ten times the level required to drive a McIntosh power amplifier input to full power!
