2-Channel Solid State Audio/Video Control Center/ Preamp
All pre-owned product is tested in our service department and have been passed for sale... and comes with a 90 day warranty! Our Tech dept has cleaned and calibrated all the controls and checked all the functions.
In nice condition. The cabinet has seen some wear - mostly on side panels, but still works great! See pix. Original box and packing are NOT available, so this is LOCAL PICKUP ONLY...
BUT If you want us to ship this to you, please contact us if you would like to purchase at an additional cost (approx $100 plus shipping for the carton ONLY), a McIntosh factory box to safely ship it in. We will advise lead time and final price for the box at that time. This is the ONLY was we ship this unit because of the glass front.
We are an authorized McIntosh Dealer. Manufactured 1985 - 1992 Full specs are last image. Pix with white background is stock.
From the owners manual: The Mclntosh Audio/Video Control Center is the newest evidence of Mclntosh technological integrity. Music reproducing instruments that carry the Mclntosh name have always been designed for technological leadership and to maintain the Mclntosh reputation for best sound, for durability, and for long life. Mclntosh has always earned the foremost reputation for quality performance. Mclntosh has provided user oriented facilities and appearance and Mclntosh design always provides for ease of maintenance or repair. These fundamental elements are incorporated in the Mclntosh Audio/Video Control Center, the easiest to operate yet most complex ever. Your Mclntosh C 34V Audio/Video Control Center, above all others will deliver to you the best sound, the most flexibility, and the greatest ease of use.
The Mclntosh C 34V is a superb quality, high performance Audio control center. The C 34V has many useful features to enhance your listening and video enjoyment. They include:
1. A dual preamplifier system that provides separate listen and record program control. You may listen to or view one program while you are recording a different program.
2. Two independent, seven source input selector switches permit different audio programs to be selected.
3. A low noise, electronic input switching system adjacent to the input jacks gives greater source to source isolation, low audio distortion, and freedom from noise and hum pick-up.
4. The record monitor switch allows the recorded program to be heard through the MAIN output.
5. A five band program equalizer adjusts and improves the loudness contrast of the five most important frequency ranges. Musical balance can be adjusted to compensate for listener preferences.
6. A precision output volume control is electronically trimmed during manufacture to maintain channel balance accuracy to a fraction of a decibel (dB). This high order of accuracy assures continuing program balance as the volume is changed.
7. 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 control position.
8. High and low frequency filters reduce high frequency noise and low frequency rumble at a 12 dB per octave roll off rate.
9. A compandor expands or compresses the dynamic range of the program material. Compressed recordings and broadcasts can be expanded to restore dynamic range. Tapes can be compressed and replayed using expansion to improve signal-to-noise ratio.
10. Front panel tape recorder jacks which allow simple plug-in of an additional tape recorder without disconnecting your regular system.
