Kenwood stereo control amplifier kc 991 series#

The other front-panel controls of the C-1 are a large volume control, small center-de-tented knobs for bass and treble tone controls and the balance control, and a loudness knob. The power switch is a large square button at the left of the panel. A smaller button turns on the subsonic filter, which rolls off the response at 6 dB per octave below 18 Hz. All signal selection is by means of narrow rectangular pushbuttons (mechanically interlocked) with red LED's above them to show when they are engaged. There are input and output facilities for two tape decks, and selecting both simultaneously connects them for dubbing from deck A to deck B. The C-1 has inputs for two high-level sources (aux and tuner) and a single phono cartridge with front-panel switching for either a moving-magnet (MM) or a moving-coil (MC) type. The units are finished completely in flat black, with controls of the same color. The M-1 power amplifier, the same width, almost exactly the same depth, and 4-7/16 inches high, weighs 20 pounds. The C-1 preamplifier, 17-5/16 inches wide, 12-7/8 inches deep, and about 3 inches high, weighs 9-1/2 pounds. The C-1 and M-1 are matched in size, appearance, and function, forming a very high-quality amplifier system of moderate cost.
