LD-2 CONTROL PREAMP

The McCormack LD-2

Designed to be the control center of your audio system, the LD-2 offers full remote control of volume, balance, and source selection. The heart of the LD-2 circuit is the high performance Burr-Brown volume control, often found in far more costly equipment. It offers smooth and precise level adjustment with virtually perfect channel tracking. A carefully designed buffer-stage couples the level control circuitry to the output of the LD-2, while a discrete regulated DC power supply designed for near zero AC impedance provides a rock-solid foundation for these audio circuits.

To facilitate integration of your audio and video systems, the LD-2 features a Theater mode, which sets the LD-2 to unity gain and locks out the volume and balance controls, passing control to your surround sound processor. The LD-2's numeric display reads out the level settings in both channels in dB of gain or attenuation.

Audition an LD-2 to hear how it's powerful dynamics, great clarity and transparency, 3D sound-staging, and liquid, almost tube-like sound quality draw you into a world of musical beauty.
