McIntosh mcintosh stereo preamplifier Stereo Amplifier User Manual


 
The LOUDNESS switch on the C22 changes
the VOLUME control to a loudness com-
pensated control to correct for this effect.
When you wish to listen to music at a greatly
reduced loudness level and yet hear bass and
treble in their proper relationships, set the
LOUDNESS switch to the IN position.
PHASE
If the stereo sound seems to come from
either side of the room instead of being dis-
tributed between the loudspeakers, adjust
the PHASE control to 180°. This listening
effect is due to reproducing sound that is out
of phase from one channel to the other. You
will
find
some
records
differ from
others
in
this
respect
and
that
some
tapes
differ from
records.
