The C12000 Controller module is part of McIntosh's next-generation two-chassis preamplifier design, optimized for ultimate sound purity and maximum control. Paired with the C12000 Preamplifier module, it achieves absolute separation between the control and audio sections, delivering a highly refined listening experience. Dual isolated power supplies and a dual microprocessor enhance the control system's robustness, while the true dual mono operation ensures superior stereo separation. The two units connect via high-performance, shielded cables to eliminate outside interference. The C12000 Controller allows easy operation through its front panel or the included remote, making it simple to manage a complex audio setup. Featuring advanced flexibility in phono input configurations and output options, the system provides a truly customized audio experience. The design also includes Hybrid Drive™ technology, combining vacuum tube and solid-state output to produce a dynamic, natural sound that suits your preferences. A high-output headphone jack and Headphone Crossfeed Director (HXD®) are included for personal listening, while the Home Theater Pass Through feature allows seamless integration with a multi-channel setup. The chassis is constructed from polished stainless steel and black titanium for a luxurious finish.
