The C-4000 goes far beyond mere accuracy and fidelity: its goal is a dramatically higher degree of realism than has ever been achieved before in audio reproduction.Thus its Peak Unlimiter undoes the dynamic compression which makes many recordings and broadcasts sound canned.Its Auto Correlator noise reduction system strips away the veil of low level rumble and hiss which form a perpetual psycho acoustic barrier to realism in the reproduction of musical timbres.And its Time Delay and revolutionary Sonic Hologram Generator break through the limits of listening-room acoustics and the two channel stereo medium itself to provide a remarkably three dimensional you are there realism, with a sonic image which subjectively extends far beyond the loudspeakers in both breadth and depth.SpecificationsFrequency response: 1.5Hz to 60kHzTotal harmonic distortion: 0.05%Gain: 60dB (MC), 35dB (MM), 20dB (line)Input sensitivity: 0.05mV (MC), 0.9mV (MM), 50mV (line)Signal to noise ratio: 75dB (MC), 81dB (MM), 98dB (line)Dimensions: 19 x 6.75 x 8.5 inchesWeight: 5kg
