An alphanumeric fluorescent display indicates station frequency, station preset, signal strength and band. All nine AM and nine FM presets for each tuner can be custom labeled with any desired name up to eight characters. The MR85 ships with one TM1.The MR85 is a very high-performance AM/FM broadcast monitor. When you add a TM1 Tuner Module (a second internal tuner) two people can enjoy superior off air broadcast reception simultaneously.A new flywheel system for manual tuning has a great hands-on feel.

Mcintosh MR85-Extended Information:


Dual-Tuner Operation
As an expansion option, a McIntosh Dealer may add an additional tuner module.  This is ideal for multi-zone systems, because it creates two tuners that can be used simultaneously.

Weighted Flywheel
For Manual Tuning An optically encoded weighted flywheel for “dialing in” stations, reminiscent of the smooth-acting flywheel found in classic McIntosh tuners.

Custom Naming
All station presets for each tuner may be labeled with a name containing as many  as 8 characters. For example, FM preset 1 could be renamed “JAZZ 1” or “WHRW.”

Spatializer Enhancement
This circuit can expand the sound field for FM stations that have poor separation, or it can provide a pseudo-stereo effect for AM stations. DMOS-FET RF Amplifier
