Eumig C-1000
The Eumig C-1000 isn't a camera, despite this page's corner of the archive. It's a preamplifier, part of Eumig's brief run of hi-fi separates around 1980-1981. Collectors remember Eumig far better for its movie cameras and projectors, but it clearly took at least one serious swing at audio. The C-1000 was the front end of the 1000 series.
Eumig's own advertising in Audio (April 1981, p.13) pitched the 1000 series as a matched set of separates - tuner, preamp, and power amplifier from a single maker. It described the C-1000 as a DC-designed preamplifier with phono inputs for both regular moving-magnet and moving-coil cartridges. A High Fidelity equipment listing from the same period (1981, p.204), attributed to Eumig USA, Inc. of Lake Success Business Park, supplies the specific numbers:
- Phono sensitivity: 2.5 mV (moving-magnet); 60 µV (moving-coil)
- Phono overload: 230 mV (moving-magnet); 6 mV (moving-coil)
That is essentially the whole surviving record. No full bench-test review of the C-1000 appears in the period material gathered here, and no production dates, pricing, or service literature are documented.
