Mac Control center question-Ron C?

[Vintage Pete]

This might be one for Ron C: It seems that from the time the C42 Control Center was released to present, those control centers with built in equalizers do not offer a tone control above 4K. I own a C40 Control Center which has a 10K Control, as did earlier models. I have often wondered what McIntosh's thinking was here. I think I'd miss my 10K control if I didn't have it.

Ron, any comment here?

Most rooms and musical material need much more correction in the lower and mid range frequencies. Even the highest 4K control on the C46 is very broad and will effect the freqencies well past 15 Khz. Try it you will like it!

Thanks,

Interesting!

Ron,

Admittedly I have not auditioned a C46, and when I auditioned the C42 some years ago I didn't play with the equalizer much, as the conditions / program material didn't really call for it. It's just something I wondered from time to time. Indeed, the eq on the C46 looks to be really nice. I'll have to make it a point to try one out.

Thanks!

Peter
