The third generation Compact Disc player
continues the world-wide Mclntosh reputation for
technological advancement as the reason for a new
model. Every aspect of performance is improved:
focusing and tracking, decoding, error correction,
digital filtering, digital to analog conversion
(converters are specially selected for matched
channel to channel linearity.)
The MCD7007 uses a new integral massive cast
disc drive platform whose variable reluctance
suspension system is adjusted and tuned to reduce
or eliminate both high and low frequency
resonances, and the impact of vibrations and shock.
There is a low mass, low inertia, high compliance
single beam laser pen. The laser pen assembly
achieves exceptional radial trackability through a
sub-miniature, resonance damped, precisely balanced
rigid system design.
The single-spot laser - which was already
recognized for its readout purity - stays even more
precisely on track and in focus, and the digital signal
that is read out is processed even more truthfully.
Even in the face of disc eccentricity and warp and of
disc defects or dirt that would interrupt play in the
majority of players, the sound of the Mclntosh
MCD 7007 Compact Disc player sets superlative
standards of purity.
The focus and collimator lenses, the receiver and
transmitter faces employ flat glass replica technology.
• The motorized front-loading tray is a new anti-
jamming design protected from damage by forced
closure. If forced, it will close directly to play the
disc or to stand by for additional instruction.
• The 10 key access pad permits direct access to
the track desired, any sequence of selected tracks,
preprogramming by track, index time or combination
of these:
1. Button programming in any order of up to
twenty tracks.
2. Programability directy from a short scan of each
track.
3. Three speed search forward or backward with
the sound muted only in the high speed mode
in either direction.
The full 18-bit dynamic range is derived from
matched linear input to output dual 16-bit digital to
analog converters with 4-times oversampling.
A large FIFO memory can adsorb any data stream
fluctuations with adaptive error corrections which
can handle bursts to 15 audio frames.
The single DAC chip - specifically selected for high
performance - incorporates separate 16-bit converters
for left and right channels. There is no multiplexing,
no delay time between channels, and an extra 4 dB
of channel separation.
Both high-precision servos are integrated to a
higher degree than ever, embodying many functions
that have to be performed with discreet components
in other players. For these functions, there is no
wear, no deterioration with time no setting-up
adjustment to go wrong. Thus a permanent
improvement in readout accuracy is achieved.
Enhanced performance Cross Interleave Reed
Solomon Code (CIRC) provides maximum error
detection and correction. Error correction has soft
muting reinforced with enhanced error concealment
of up to 8 uncorrectable samples.
Volume can be controlled from either the hand
held remote or the front panel buttons.
With the MCD7007 Mclntosh Compact Disc Player
performance moves to a new pinnacle of cutting
edge technological achievement and highest quality
music reproduction. Even with dirty or damaged
discs, even when the player is bumped or knocked,
the music retains its surpassing purity. The full
integrity of the sound is preserved beginning with
the readout from the compact disc through to the
gold-plated connectors on the output.
Your selection of the MCD7007 will be continously
strenghtened by your day to day use of this superb
instrument. Happy listening.
