c46 audio control center trust mcintosh to create an elegant combination of audio purity and flexible control with eight source input selections one of them a balanced input all fully assignable and programmable plus separate processor loops for both listen and record sections and enough outputs both balanced and unbalanced to drive multiple amplifiers the c46 preamplifier is a control center that can easily coordinate even the most complex audio system sonic integrity is enhanced through use of digital logic controlled electromagnetic switches which provide the most reliable lowest distortion signal switching in existence master volume control is accomplished through an ultra-precision digitally controlled attenuator enhanced with variable rate volume circuitry and adjusted through an optical rotary encoder that results in resolution and tracking accuracy within 0.5 db the exclusive mcintosh equalization circuitry allows tailoring the sonic performance over 8 frequency bands and a separate programmable bypass control totally eliminates the equalizer from the signal path when not in use behind mcintosh s signature black glass front panel led-driven fiber optic light diffuser panels provide all illumination reducing heat and power consumption and increasing the lighting s life span many times over that of ordinary light bulbs programmable balanced input eight programmable source selections one main and two switched outputs logic driven electromagnetic switching fiber-optic light diffuser illumination exclusive mcintosh eight frequency equalizer circuit input level matching separate listen and record input selection dual programmable processor loops precision digitally controlled volume attenuator blue 16 character vf display gold plated connectors precision resistors and capacitors wide dynamic range remote power control data output ports front panel headphone jack
