About the C500C
The McIntosh C500C is the Controller chassis of the C500 stereo preamplifier system, a luxurious two-box design separating the power supply-control section from the audio processing chassis (C500P solid-state or C500T tube) for purest audio performance. It features stereo output level meters, powerful headphone amplifier, MM and MC phono sections, home theater passthrough, fully balanced design, variable rate volume control, silent audio switching, and dual fully regulated R-Core transformer power supplies. The C500C connects via custom 23-conductor umbilical cables to the preamp module and includes front panel controls for balance, record, listen, setup, mute, and standby/on with microprocessor reset. It supports IR remote control and communication with other McIntosh components. The product is discontinued.
