Model C-4
Equalizer Pre-Amplifier Low Distortion Control Center
An equalizer
Pre-Amplifier is the control center of the sound reproducing system. Low
distortion, stability, and adequate frequency response arc as important in the
Equalizer Pre-Amplifier as in the power amplifier. The Mclntosh C-4 provides
these vital features. Circuit arrangement and techniques bring complete freedom
from impulse types of distortion. (Turning the unit on and off or changing the
level suddenly will not cause amplifier flutter.) There are five input
channels, two of which are equalized for use with magnetic cartridges. Stable
feedback amplification permits full adjustment of cither the treble or bass
controls without any amplifier instability whatsoever.
