(Treble) will raise or lower by 8dB, at a frequency of 10 KHz. Both Left and Right Channels

Pre-amp output (Pre Out).
The C-600f is probably the only high-end preamp currently in the market to offer tone
controls adjustable from the listening position, via the remote control
– ideal for listening to
stunning performances such as Carlos Kleiber’s performance of the Brahms Fourth
Symphony. This legendary 1980 performance has long been praised for its performance,
though criticized for its sonics. The massed violins play in the highest register and if played
back at a realistic level, the violin’s brightness and glare can be unpleasant. From the
comfort of your listening chair, you can reduce the treble intensity and relax & enjoy this
remarkable performance. For normal recordings, the tone controls can be disengaged from
the audio circuit.
(Bass) will raise or lower by approximately 8dB, at a frequency of 100 Hz. Both Left
and Right Channels are affected. The Tone controls do not affect recordings made
using the Tape outputs but will affect the signal going to the Pre-amp output (Pre Out).
If you find your loudspeakers are not able to reproduce excessive bass as found on
some Reggae or Hip Hop albums, especially when played at loud volume, offers you
the ability to spare your loudspeakers’ woofers
Note:
You might also use the Tone Controls for room acoustics’ correction. They are in effect
two band, simplified room equalization controls.
