4 Import ant Information W ARNING: The McIntosh C500 is a two chassis design, with separate Preamplifier and Controller chassis. There are custom interconnecting cables and custom chassis sockets used to connect the two chassis together . Use ONL Y the custom interconnect cables supplied with the C500 to connect the chassis together .
5 • • • • • Dual Chassis with Dual Mono Design The Dual Chassis design completely separates all power supply , microprocessor and control circuits from the pure audio circuits for total noise isolation. T o further aid in channel isolation the circuitry for both channels is totally separate, physically isolated and shielded.

19 Figure 16 The Rear Panel T rigger B Jack can provide either a 5 or 12 V olt Output when activated, with 5 V olts as the default. McIntosh Components with Power Control utilize 5 V olts; non-McIntosh components when connected to the C500C might required a higher voltage to switch them On or Off.
20 Dat a Port Assigment The Data Control Ports on the C500 Controller by default are assigned to control just one input (1 thru 7) on the Preamplifier .
21 Setup, con’t 3. Rotate the SELECT 1 Control until the desired Input T itle to be changed appears in the Display , e.g. “D POR T CDR 5”. Refer to figure 29. 4. Rotate the SELECT 2 Control until the number 2 ap- pears in the Display , e.g. “D POR T CDR 6”.
22 Accessory Control When the T rigger A or B Power Control Outputs on the C500 Controller are used, one of the T riggers may be as- signed to switched On or Off by using the ACCessory Push- button on the supplied Remote Control. T o select either T rigger A or B for remote operation, perform the following steps: 1.
23 Listen Processor The C500 Preamplifier has a Listen Processor Loop for connecting an external sound processor . The Listen Proces- sor may be assigned to be active for only those Inputs de- sired.
24 The C500 allows the adjustment of the Moving Magnet Ca- pacitive Loading to accommodate a wide variety of car- tridge types and turntable/cabling combinations. The range of adjustment is from 50pf to 750pf in 50pf increments. T o change the capacitance from the default value of 50pf set- ting perform the following steps: 1.

33 T echnical Description McIntosh Laboratory , the company who introduced the world’ s first amplifier that could be called “High Fidelity”, has done it again. The McIntosh Engineering S taff has cre- ated a Preamplifier without compromise, using the most ad- vanced McIntosh circuit design concepts.
