gram sources including Tape, Tuner 1 and
Tuner 2, Auxiliary, Phono 1 and Phono 2,
Tape Head 1 and Tape Head 2. Each phono
input has two switch positions, one for
stereo the other paralles the stereo car-
trige for Monophonic records.
Mode Selector:
Reverse: connects left channel to right
speaker, right channel to left speaker,
corrects for left-right reversal of program.
Stereo: (normal Stereo mode selector posi-
tion) left channel to left speaker, right
channel to right speaker.
Left: left channel to left speaker no pro-
gram to right speaker.
Right: right channel to right speaker, no
program to left speaker.
M Left: left channel only to both speakers.
M Right: right channel only to both speakers.
Record Compensator: Separate bass and
treble compensator switches including
" R I A A , " "LP," "Tape-Head," flat position
for microphone and other positions for
monophonic records. (Turning "TREBLE"
control to "TAPE" gives flat response.
Turning "BASS" to "O" gives flat response.)
Tone Controls:
Treble: boost 13 db at 20,000 cycles atten-
uate 18 db at 20,000 cycles.
Bass: boost 16 db at 20 cycles, attenuate.
20 db at 20 cycles.

gram source: Turning control to left re-
duces right channel to No Output Turning
control to right reduces left channel to No
Output.
Phase Control: Reverses phase in the left
channel to correct for speaker or program
phasing.
HF Cutoff Filter: Three positions providing
(1) no filter action for normal use, (2) 9 KC
cutoff, and (3) 6 KC cutoff to sucpress
record noise and hiss.
Loudness Control: Compensates for the Flet-
cher-Munson hearing
program loudness is reduced.
Rumble Filter: Suppress low frequency dis-
turbences such as rumble.
Tape: Front panel jacks, push button switch
controlled to permit the addition of a port-
able tape recorder without disrupting the
equipment permanently installed.
Tape Monitor: To permit instantaneous mon-
itoring of tape before and alter recording.
Low Frequency Trim Controls: On the back
panel. Compensate for unequal response
at low frequencies due to position of speak-
ers or differences in speaker efficiency.

from 500 cycles or 8 db cut at 20 cycles
starting from 200 cycles.
