Summary of Contents for McIntosh C8

  • Page 1 INSTRUCTION MANUAL MclNTOSH MODEL C-8 and C-8P AUDIO COMPENSATORS McINTOSH LABORATORY, INC. 320 Water St. Binghamton, N. Y. U.S.A.
  • Page 2 - 1 - INSTRUCTION MANUAL McINTOSH MODEL C-8 and C-8P AUDIO COMPENSATORS The McIntosh Audio Compensator is a complete control unit for professional or home entertainment systems. The Model C-8 derives its power from any McIntosh power amplifier: the Model C-8P is self-powered.
  • Page 3 UNIT CABLE" on C-8P. Connect audio cable provided between RETMA pin jack labeled "MAIN OUTPUT" on C-8P and 2.5V input of power amplifier. (Socket labeled "PRE-AMP INPUT" on McIntosh power amplifiers.) The Audio Compensator delivers 2.5 volts of audio signal at full output.
  • Page 4 - 3 - INPUT CONNECTING PROCEDURE The inherent hum and noise voltages applied to the input of the Audio Compensator are -110 DBM, or less than 3 microvolts. To avoid lowering the sig- nal to hum ratio of the Audio Compensator, by adding hum voltages to the input, extreme care must be taken in its installation.

    "INTER-UNIT CABLE" between pins #1 and #2 (pin #1 is ground), and at the RETMA pin jack labeled "MAIN OUTPUT". The inter-unit cable connecting the C-8 to any McIntosh power amplifier uses the octal socket output. The pin jack output may be used for driving a second power amplifier if so desired.
