PUSHBUTTONS
MODE SELECTOR: STEREO: The left
channel is heard f r o m the left l o u d -
speaker and the right channel is heard
from the right loudspeaker.
MONO (L + R): The left and right chan-
nels are added together and are heard
from both loudspeakers.
LF FILTER: With the push button pushed
in the low frequency response is attenu-
ated below 50 Hz. The slope is 6 dB per
octave. Use of the LF filter reduces un-
wanted low frequency noise such as
rumble. With the push button released,
the response of the MX 114 is flat.
HF FILTER: With the push button pushed
IN the high frequency response is attenu-
ated above 5 kHz. The slope is 6 dB per
octave. Use of the HF filter reduces un-
wanted high frequency noise like hiss or
scratch. With push button released, the
response of the MX 114 is flat
TAPE: The TAPE push button is used to
monitor tape as it is being recorded. With
the push button IN, the recorded tape is
heard. Release the button and the pro-
gram being recorded is heard. Instan-
taneous comparison of recorded material
and the program source is provided by
the use of the TAPE push button.
IMPORTANT: When the MX 114 is oper-
ated with the TAPE push button in the
IN position, signal from any other source
will not be heard from the loudspeakers.
When not in use make sure the push but-
ton is in the "OUT" position.
MUTING: Muting suppresses the back-
ground noise and hiss normally heard
between stations. With the control in the
IN position the muting is turned on. Weak
stations that may not override noise and
interference are also suppressed by the
muting. In the OUT position, the muting
is f u m e d off. This allows conventional
FM tuning with the noise and interfer-
ence present. Use this position to tune
weak or noisy stations.
LOUD: When the volume is reduced, the
music will seem to lose much of its bass
and some of its treble. This effect is due
to the sensitivity characteristic of human
hearing. The response of the human ear
to bass and treble pitch decreases more
rapidly than its response to notes cen-
tered in the mid-tonal range. The LOUD
control automatically provides the cor-
rect amount of bass and treble boost re-
quired to compensate for this change in
response of the human ear at low-loud-
ness levels. The LOUD converts the vol-
ume control to a loudness compensated
control. Use the LOUD IN to listen at low
volume and still hear f u l l - f r e q u e n c y
range.
PANLOC
Mclntosh developed PANLOC mounting
brings professional installation tech-
nique to stereo. Depressing the PANLOC
buttons (as with a ball point pen) will
release the instrument. It can then be slid
forward to the "adjustment" position. In
the "adjust" position the top panel con-
trols PHASE, MUTING and DIAL SCALE
INTENSITY can be adjusted.
