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-60


The Mcintosh Model MC-60 is a 60 watt high fidelity power amplifier designed for home entertainment systems and professional applications where high power and distortion free performance is required. The Model MC-60, like all other McIntosh power amplifiers. Uses the exclusive McIntosh high efficiency output circuit and bifilar output transformer to obtain the high standard of performance found in this amplifier.
Some of the more important characteristics of the amplifier are less than 1/3% harmonic distortion at any power output up to 60 watts and at any frequency in the audio spectrum, 20 to 20,000 cps; less than 1/2% intermodulation distortion for all power levels up to 120 instantaneous peak watts; and noise and hum level 90 dB or more below the rated output level.

The MC-60 has two high impedance inputs and many be operated from any signal source deliviring 0,5 volts or more, or directly from a McIntosh Audio Compensator or pre-Amplifier such as the  Models C-4, C-8, C-104 or C-108.
Output impedances of 4, 8 and 16 ohms are provided for direct connection to loudsapeakers. An additional 600 Ω output is present for use with lines.
