The MAC 4280, a high quality FM/AM receiver, has many useful features to enhance your listening and video enjoyment. The Mcintosh Remote Control provides unusual varsatility with operating simplicity. It provides remote control in the main listening area and can be expanded to provide control from an additional area. In each area: You can turn the AC power On or off; You can select the listening sound source; You can adjust the volume; When the tuner section is the sound source, you can select the stations you wish to hear on either FM or AM, or select from the preset stations on either FM or AM; When a Mcintosh CD player is the sound source, you can put the cD player in the play mode, shift to the next track or the preceeding track on the disc or stop play from the disc; You can mute the sound.
Your listening commands are executed by pressing buttons on the hand-held remote controller. When you press a button the controller transmits, via an infrared beam, a command signal. The receiver for these signals is an infrared sensor in the MAC 4280 or a Mcintosh R607 remote Sensor.
A rear panel connector provides the input for rmote control from a second area. With the addition of a Mcintosh R607 Remote Sensor, all of the command capabilities of the main area can be executed in the second area.
Some of the features of the MAC 4280 are:
This "state-of-the-art." FM/AM tuner displays the station frequencies digitally. Stations are selected easily by the preset pushbuttons tuned with the manual tuning knob, or you can scan upp or down either broadcast band. When the stations assigned frequency is displayed, tuning is locked and held to the precise center of the broadcast channel. When the pushbutton presets have been programmed, the electronic memory will store and retain your 5 favorite stations on FM and Am, for instantaneous recall.
The tuning memory is retained for a week even though the receiver should become disconnected from the AC power line.
Separate listen,, and record facilities, introduced and perfected by Mcintosh, permit tape recording one program while listening to a second program. Separate input selectors, electrically isolated from each other, provide non interference operation in both listen and record. You can record on 2 tape recorders from any source and you can easily copy from one tape recorder to another.
Three separate tone shaping controls provide tone shaping. Each control adjust selected frequency bands to satisfy your personal preference or the demands of the program material.. At the detent in the center of the rotation of each control the equalizer circuits are disconnected, completely removed from the operating circuits.
Technological leadership is shown in the full power mcintosh amplifier which will deliver its maximum power output to one or two pairs of loudspeakers. The quality of the sound reproduction and the quality of your speakers are protected by the patented Mcintosh Power Guard circuit. The Power Guard waveform comparison circuit detects waveform differences between the input and the output signal. A sampling of the program material at the output of the amplifier is constantly compared with the program material at the amplifier input. Should the differences reach 0,5% , Power Guard goes to work. In only a fraction of a millisecond Power Guard dynamically reduces input level to prevent amplifier overload yet permits the amplifier to deliver its absolute maximum power output without extra distortion. The operation of the Power Guard circuit is absolutely silent. There is not even "soft" clipping. There is simply no clipping.
The patented Sentry Monitoring circuit constantly monitors the output signal. At signal levels up to rated output this circuit has no effect. If the power output exceeds design maximum, or in the event of a short circuit ir severe mismatch, the Sentry Monitoring circuit protects the output transitors from failure.
All in all, your selection of the Mcintosh MAC 4280 FM/AM Receiver will be reinforced by your day-to-day use of this superb instrument.
