Quick Facts
The extraordinary C200 is fully balanced from input to output - a configuration that
essentially cancels all distortion. The precision volume control has four matched
sections and the main gain stage uses four matched amplifiers operating in a push-
pull. Even unbalanced signals are converted to and processed as balanced signals.
The Preamplifier chassis, which contains only audio circuits and inputs/outputs, is
completely isolated from the power supply and the microprocessors, ensuring total
noise rejection.
The Controller chassis contains the selector switches, digital display, all control
microprocessors, and the power supply. After any switching operation, the control
circuits are automatically turned off to eliminate any possibility of microprocessor
noise reaching the audio circuits. The only connection between the Preamplifier and
Controller is a 25-pin shielded case.
