Special Features

  • MC input


Remarks

  • All inputs are controlled by relays, therefore very short signal paths.
  • Symmetrical circuit design from input to output
  • DC servo system for continuous direct coupling from MC input to output
  • Pre-amplifier with very wide dynamic range
  • Both stereo channels are built independently from each other
  • Brushed solid aluminum front panel and side panels
  • Computer-controlled controls
  • Push-button control for input selection
  • Additional output for active subwoofer amplifier with variable crossover frequency
