What is stereo?




There are now two system of high fidelity, monophonic (monaural) and stereophonic. Monophonic is a system that starts from one microphone and is fed through a single high fidelity set. Stereophonic is a double system. Two separate microphones are placed at different sides of the orchestra and two different systems are used to keep the two signals or channels separated. Two separate speakers are used, placed on different sides of you room. Stereo is much like 3-D photography, two slightly different sound reach your ears giving you a new dimension in sound.

McIntosh MC 3500


The McIntosh MC 3500 sets a new precedent in high power performance and flexibility.
Many years of diligent research, space age product advances and careful examinations  of new developments in component parts have lead to the McIntosh MC 3500, a new Laboratory Standard.
The quality performance that is demanded in the scientific laboratory  is your for the highest performance in a home music system.

McIntosh  developed the first low distortion, high quality, high powered amplifier in 1947. the secret then was the Unity Coupled circuit and Bifilar Output Transformer.
The MC 3500 has made another new advance. Again transformer design has made the difference. A new output transformer with 5 primary windings, interleaved with the secondary to give you maximum output, lowest distortion, multiple output impedance for any type type of sound distribution requirement. The new McIntosh Pentafilar output transformer and Unity Coupled circuit means lowest distortion, flat power response, long, trouble free cooler operation at high power.

McIntosh has produced the answer to the majority of sound problems. With the McIntosh MC 3500, your music system will produce music as never before. All the instruments will be reproduced with clarity and accuracy. No more will you hear just a barrage of sound. Now you will hear each instrument clearly and cleanly without the cloudiness produced by the lack of power in the amplifier. The McIntosh MC 3500 is the ultimate in high power amplifiers.
