Your Mclntosh C 35 System Control Center, above
all others will deliver to you the best sound, the
most flexibility, and the greatest ease of use.
The C 35 is a superb quality, high performance
System Control Center. With the MVS-1 Video
Selector, it will provide both audio and video
control.
The C 35 has many useful features to enhance your
listening and video enjoyment. They include:
High level inputs to accommodate the
traditional as well as all the latest audio sources
such as compact disc players and the
high-quality audio from video recorders and
laser video disc players.
A specially designed low noise switching system
uses a pair of cascaded field effect transistors
(FET) to operate the inputs. The input leads are
very short, one-twentieth (1/20) of the length of
previous designs. Advantages include,
source-to-source isolation, lower distortion, and
freedom from hum, noise, and interference
from high-power TV and radar signals.
Any one of nine input sources can be selected
using electronic switching. These inputs
identified as Compact Disc, LASER disc, TV,
TUNER, PHONO, AUX 1, AUX 2, VCR/T1, and
VCR/T2.
Electronic tape monitor switches for two audio
tape recorders, or the audio from two video
recorders, or one audio recorder and the audio
from one video recorder, allow either recorder
to be heard from the main output.
Volume is adjusted by a motor driven precision
potentiometer.
Left/right tracking accuracy is controlled to a
fraction of a dB.
SPEAKER buttons select both or either of two
sets of loudspeakers (when used with the
optional SCR 3 speaker control relay) or two
additional power amplifiers, which can provide
program to other listening areas.
These facilities and more may be selected and
controlled by either the buttons on the front
panel or the hand-held infrared remote control.
Additionally, remote control can be extended to
two additional listening areas by the installation
of Mclntosh remote sensors which are easily
connected by RG-59/U cable.
An active circuit loudness control is electrically
independent of the volume control. Close
conformity to the Fletcher-Munson equal
loudness curves can be attained regardless of
the volume setting.
A five-band program equalizer permits the
adjustment and improvement of the loudness
contrast of the five most important frequency
ranges. Musical balance of source material can
be adjusted to compensate for room recording
differences or listener preferences.
Rear panel signal switching jacks provide output
and input facilities for signal processing
equipment. Processors may be used
independently to modify a tape recording or
the listened-to program.
A built-in headphone amplifier provides power
to the front panel headphone jack. All front
panel controls are available to influence private
listening on headphones.
Electronically regulated power supplies maintain
stable operation during periods of changing line
voltage.
Professional XLR connectors provide balanced
optimum signal to noise ratio in demanding
applications.
This outstanding C 35 System Control Center will
serve you best when you understand its functions
and what it is designed to do. Some time invested in
reading this manual will be valuable in obtaining the
most from your C 35.
